Purpose To develop and validate the short form of the Korean adaptation of the Cultural Competence Scale for Nurses. Methods To shorten the 33-item Cultural Competence Scale for Nurses, an expert panel ( N ?=?6) evaluated its content validity. The revised items were pilot tested using a sample of nine nurses, and clarity was assessed through cognitive interviews with respondents.

The 14-item final version was cross-validated through confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, discriminant validity, known-group comparisons, and reliability using data from 365 nurses belonging to 19 hospitals.

The convergent validity between the developed tool and transcultural self-efficacy was significant (r?=?.55, p ?
