HA-MNCS: Core Competency Scale for Military Nurses in High-Altitude Environments

A 36-item psychometric scale developed in 2026 by Shijie Fang to assess the core competencies of military nurses operating in high-altitude extreme environments. The dataset, available under CC-BY-4.0, contains the validated questionnaire items across four dimensions: theoretical knowledge, professional skill, comprehensive ability, and personal trait. It is a small document file (17.9 KB) from the figshare platform.

Use Cases

• Psychometric analysis of scale reliability and validity based on reported Cronbach's α and factor analysis metrics.
• Developing training curricula for military medical personnel based on the four competency dimensions.
• Benchmarking nurse performance in extreme environments based on the validated item scores.
• Cross-cultural adaptation of competency scales for other specialized medical roles.

Strengths

• Scale demonstrates high reported reliability with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.948.
• Strong reported content validity with a scale-content validity index (S-CVI) of 0.978.
• Clear factor structure reported with four dimensions explaining 70.040% of cumulative variance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the sample from two hospitals in China.
