Identification of the psychometric properties of the leadership influence over professional practice environments scale.

This study uses the qualitatively developed Adams influence model (AIM) and concepts from the psychometrically validated revised professional practice environment scale to guide the development of the leadership influence over professional practice environments scale. Nurse executives and others can use this scale individually or in conjunction with instruments targeting staff or patient perceptions of their influence as part of health services research, leadership development, and professional practice environment enhancement strategy.
