The Nurses Professional Values Scale--Revised (NPVS-R) is an instrument derived from the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses designed to measure nurses' professional values. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the NPVS-R in a random sample of baccalaureate and master's students and practicing nurses. The NPVS-R, a 26-item Likert-scale format instrument, was tested on 782 subjects. Responses to the NPVS-R were subjected to exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Principal components analysis with varimax rotation and Kaiser normalization resulted in a five-factor solution explaining 56.7% of the common variance. Findings supported internal consistency reliability of five factors with alpha coefficients from .70 to .85 and a total scale alpha coefficient of .92. Construct validity was supported with an overall factor loading range of .46 to .79 across the five factors labeled Caring, Activism, Trust, Professionalism, and Justice. The NPVS-R is a psychometrically sound instrument for measuring professional nurses' values and enhancing professional socialization.
护士职业价值观量表修订版（NPVS-R）是一种源自美国护士协会《护士伦理守则》的工具，旨在衡量护士的职业价值观。本研究的目的是在一个由本科和硕士学生以及执业护士组成的随机样本中检验NPVS-R的心理测量特性。NPVS-R是一种采用26项李克特量表形式的工具，对782名受试者进行了测试。对NPVS-R的回答进行了探索性和验证性因素分析。采用方差最大化旋转和凯泽标准化的主成分分析得出了一个五因素解决方案，解释了56.7%的共同方差。研究结果支持五个因素的内部一致性信度，其阿尔法系数在0.70至0.85之间，总量表阿尔法系数为0.92。在五个分别标记为关怀、行动主义、信任、专业精神和公正的因素中，总体因素负荷范围为0.46至0.79，支持了结构效度。NPVS-R是一种在心理测量方面可靠的工具，可用于衡量专业护士的价值观并促进职业社会化。
