AIM To evaluate the transition of behavioural changes of participants before and after the training using a scale that can objectively evaluate coaching training for nurses. DESIGN After a cross-sectional study, a quasi-experimental study was conducted. METHODS We examined the reliability and validity of the Coaching Skill Assessment plus (CSAplus), which was developed to measure the effectiveness of coaching training for corporate leaders. Next, a repeated measures analysis of variance was conducted on two types of coaching training for nurses conducted at a university hospital, with the CSAplus scores of participants before, 1 month and 6 months after the training as the dependent variable. RESULTS The CSAplus is a three-factor instrument with good reliability and validity. Participants' CSAplus scores improved after training, but there were differences in the magnitude and persistence of the training effects. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Hospital staff, professional coaches and their clients were involved in data collection.
