This paper is a report of the psychometric testing of the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure with Chinese nursing students.
Although the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure has been widely used to measure educational environments in the healthcare professions, no psychometric evaluation of the measure with Chinese nursing students has been reported.
Data from 214 nursing students were collected during a 2-month period between December, 2004 and January, 2005. Exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency reliability and Cronbach's alpha were examined.
Five factors were found by principal components analysis with Oblimin with Kaiser Normalization rotation. The original factor names were maintained, but items in each factor changed. These five factors all achieved eigenvalues >1, and in total accounted for 52.186% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.623 to 0.9 across factors, with an overall alpha of 0.949.
The Chinese version of the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure could be a valuable measurement for nursing educators in professional development programmes and nursing curriculum design. Further studies need in different Chinese nursing schools and larger sample sizes to be conducted to validate its stability and factor structure.
本文报告了对中国护理学生的邓迪准备教育环境量表进行心理计量学测试的结果。
尽管邓迪准备教育环境量表已广泛用于测量医疗保健专业的教育环境,但尚未有针对中国护理学生的该量表的心理计量学评估报告。
在 2004 年 12 月至 2005 年 1 月的两个月期间,共收集了 214 名护理学生的数据。对探索性因子分析、内部一致性信度和 Cronbach's alpha 进行了检验。
主成分分析采用 Oblimin 与 Kaiser 标准化旋转,发现了 5 个因子。原始因子名称保持不变,但每个因子中的项目发生了变化。这五个因子的特征值均>1,总计占方差的 52.186%。各因子的 Cronbach's alpha 范围为 0.623 至 0.9,总体 alpha 为 0.949。
中文版邓迪准备教育环境量表可以成为护理教育工作者参与专业发展计划和护理课程设计的有价值的测量工具。需要在中国不同的护理学校和更大的样本量中进行进一步的研究,以验证其稳定性和因子结构。
