AB  - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Data were analyzed from a national convenience sample of 
      3,000 bedside nurses in Lebanon to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of 
      the first Arabic version of the Actual Scope of Nursing Practice (A-ASCOP) 
      questionnaire. METHODS: The method used in this study was application of the 
      partial credit model using the multidimensional random coefficients multinomial 
      logit model. RESULTS: A-ASCOP subscales (r = .81-.94) and levels of item 
      complexity (r = .95-.98) were highly correlated. CONCLUSIONS: As a 26-item scale, 
      the A-ASCOP has high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.93). The A-ASCOP 
      subscales have acceptable multidimensional reliability Expected 
      A-Posteriori/Plausible Value ratio (EAP/PV > .80) and are suitable for 
      descriptive surveys. The three A-ASCOP levels of item complexity were not valid 
      for this sample. We report norms for unidimensional Rasch and 0-100 transformed 
      measures by category of participant.
