A cross-sectional survey was conducted, and the construct validity and reliability of the Brisbane Practice Environment Measure in an Australian sample of registered nurses were examined. Nurses were randomly selected from the database of an Australian nursing organization. The original 33 items of the Brisbane Practice Environment Measure were utilized to inform the psychometric properties using confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.938 for the total scale and ranged 0.657-0.887 for the subscales. A five-factor structure of the measure was confirmed, χ(2) = 944.622, (P < 0.01), χ(2) /d.f. ratio = 2.845, Tucker Lewis Index 0.929, Root Mean Square Error = 0.061 and Comparative Fit Index = 0.906. The selected 28 items of the measure proved reliable and valid in measuring effects of the practice environment upon Australian nurses. The implications are that regular measurement of the practice environment using these 28 items might assist in the development of strategies which might improve job satisfaction and retention of registered nurses in Australia.
开展了一项横断面调查,检验了澳大利亚注册护士样本中《布里斯班执业环境量表》的结构效度和信度。护士从澳大利亚一个护理组织的数据库中随机抽取。利用《布里斯班执业环境量表》最初的33个项目,通过验证性因素分析来了解其心理测量特性。总量表的克朗巴哈系数为0.938,分量表的克朗巴哈系数在0.657至0.887之间。该量表的五因素结构得到确认,χ(2) = 944.622,(P < 0.01),χ(2) /d.f. 比率 = 2.845,塔克·刘易斯指数为0.929,均方根误差为0.061,比较拟合指数为0.906。该量表选定的28个项目在测量执业环境对澳大利亚护士的影响方面被证明是可靠且有效的。这意味着使用这28个项目定期测量执业环境可能有助于制定提高澳大利亚注册护士工作满意度和留职率的策略。
