Falcó-Pegueroles developed the ECNQ-CCV consisting of 19 scenarios related to critical care nursing in 2013. Each scenario includes three questions measuring the frequency, intensity and types of the ethical conflict. The frequency and intensity are rated on a six-point (0–5) and five-point (1–5) Likert scales, respectively. The percentage is used to report the type of conflict. The level of exposure to the ethical conflict is acquired through multiplying the frequency by its intensity. The score of each scenario ranges from 0 to 25 and the total score is 25 × 19 = 475. Higher scores indicate a greater exposure level of the ethical conflict [12]. Low (< 1 standard deviation (SD) below the mean), moderate (±1 SD around the mean) and high (> 1 SD above the mean) exposure to the ethical conflict were defined [24]. The initial Psychometric evaluation of the ECNQ-CCV showed great internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.882), content validity, and construct validity. The Exploratory Factor Analysis indicated a unidimensional structure [12].
