Psychosocial well-being in the workplace may increase retention of oncology nurses, while a lack of social support has been a predictor of occupational stress in nurses.
To further explore this phenomenon by examining the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support in Greek nurses working in oncology and mental health settings.
A cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 150 nurses (70 oncology nurses and 80 mental health nurses) from the area of greater Athens who joined the study. The scale was translated to Greek using the "forward-backward" procedure. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support's internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α), stability (intraclass correlation coefficient), factor structure (factor analysis), and convergent validity (correlation with Ways of Coping Questionnaire) were examined.
A three-factor (significant others, family, and friends) model was confirmed. The subscales representing the three factors demonstrated excellent internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's αs > .90) and stability intraclass correlation coefficient (>.90).
The measure is reliable and valid, and it can be used to assess nurses' social support; the results of such an assessment could be helpful when selecting strategies for assisting nurses.
工作场所的心理社会幸福感可能会提高肿瘤护理护士的留职率，而缺乏社会支持一直是护士职业压力的一个预测因素。
通过检验在肿瘤学和心理健康环境中工作的希腊护士的多维感知社会支持量表的心理测量特性，进一步探讨这一现象。
采用横断面设计。样本包括来自大雅典地区的150名护士（70名肿瘤护理护士和80名心理健康护士），他们参与了这项研究。该量表采用“前后”程序翻译成希腊语。检验了多维感知社会支持量表的内部一致性信度（克朗巴哈α系数）、稳定性（组内相关系数）、因子结构（因子分析）和收敛效度（与应对方式问卷的相关性）。
证实了一个三因素模型（重要他人、家庭和朋友）。代表这三个因素的分量表显示出优异的内部一致性信度（克朗巴哈α系数>.90）和稳定性组内相关系数（>.90）。
该测量方法可靠且有效，可用于评估护士的社会支持；这种评估的结果在选择帮助护士的策略时可能会有所帮助。
