The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Self-Efficacy for Preventing Falls-Nurse.
Patient falls have negative effects on patients and health care services. Nurses' self-efficacy for preventing falls can affect their performance in interventions to prevent falls.
The sample of this methodological study included 326 nurses who work at a university, a training and a public hospital in Turkey. The construct validity of the scale was assessed using the exploratory factor analysis, the confirmatory factor analysis and the known-group technique. The reliability of the scale was assessed through internal consistency approaches and test-retest reliability.
Two factors were extracted through the exploratory factor analysis, and the factors explained 68.69% of total variance. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a significantly good fit for a two-factor structure. Satisfactory evidence was found for test-retest reliability and internal consistency reliability.
The Turkish version of the Self-Efficacy for Preventing Falls-Nurse is a reliable and valid scale for assessing nurses' self-efficacy for preventing falls.
Nurse managers can assess nurses' self-efficacy for preventing falls by using the Turkish version of the Self-Efficacy for Preventing Falls-Nurse. Moreover, they can identify where to focus on improving nurses' self-efficacy by analysing scores of subscales and items.
本研究旨在测试土耳其版预防跌倒自我效能量表的心理测量特性。
患者跌倒对患者和医疗保健服务都有负面影响。护士预防跌倒的自我效能感可能会影响他们在预防跌倒干预措施中的表现。
该方法学研究的样本包括土耳其一所大学、一家培训医院和一家公立医院的 326 名护士。使用探索性因子分析、验证性因子分析和已知组技术评估量表的结构效度。通过内部一致性方法和重测信度评估量表的信度。
通过探索性因子分析提取了两个因子，这两个因子解释了总方差的 68.69%。验证性因子分析表明，两因素结构具有良好的拟合度。重测信度和内部一致性信度的证据令人满意。
土耳其版预防跌倒自我效能量表是评估护士预防跌倒自我效能感的可靠有效工具。
护理管理人员可以使用土耳其版预防跌倒自我效能量表评估护士预防跌倒的自我效能感。此外，他们可以通过分析子量表和项目的分数来确定在哪些方面需要重点提高护士的自我效能感。
