Abstract: The construction of a professional competence scale of medical social workers can address the shortage of current research and provide a reference for promoting the professional competence of this group. This study developed a preliminary scale through four steps, including national policy interpretation, normative reference, literature review, and practical opinions. Using 305 medical social workers as research subjects, a factor analysis was conducted to verify and construct a medical social workers’ professional competency scale with 21 items and three dimensions, including practical operation, value ethics, multidisciplinary cooperation, and advocacy. The analysis demonstrated high credibility and validity of this scale. It can be used to measure the professional competence of medical social workers and provide a reference for their cultivation, selection, training, and assessment.

Key words: medical social workers, professional competence, scale development, healthy China
