The purpose of this study was to describe the development and psychometric evaluation of the Eldercare Cultural Self-Efficacy Scale (ECSES). Bandura's Theory of Self-Efficacy provided the theoretical framework. The sample consisted of students (N=248) from seven schools of nursing in a northeast state. The psychometric evaluation included: item analysis, principal factor analysis (PFA) with orthogonal rotation, and internal consistency reliability using Cronbach's alpha. Descriptive statistics were used to determine levels of eldercare cultural self-efficacy among the sample. The PFA revealed a four factor structure (Assessing for Lifestyle and Social Patterns, Determining Cultural Health Practices, Determining Cultural Beliefs, and Dealing with Grief and the Losses Associated with Aging) that accounted for 61% of explained variance. The subscales alpha coefficients ranged from .82 to .95. Findings demonstrate the 28 item scale to be a reliable and valid instrument for use in nursing education to examine students' confidence in caring for ethnically diverse elders.
本研究的目的是描述老年护理文化自我效能量表（ECSES）的开发及心理测量学评估。班杜拉的自我效能理论提供了理论框架。样本包括来自东北部一个州七所护理学院的学生（N = 248）。心理测量学评估包括：项目分析、采用正交旋转的主因子分析（PFA）以及使用克朗巴哈系数的内部一致性信度分析。描述性统计用于确定样本中老年护理文化自我效能的水平。主因子分析揭示了一个四因子结构（评估生活方式和社会模式、确定文化健康实践、确定文化信仰以及应对与衰老相关的悲伤和损失），该结构解释了61%的方差变异。各分量表的阿尔法系数范围为0.82至0.95。研究结果表明，这个包含28个条目的量表是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于护理教育，以检验学生照顾不同种族老年人的信心。
