The aim of this study is to assess the validity and reliability of the Compassion Competence Scale Arabic version for Saudi nursing students and interns.
Compassion is an essential element of quality health care in which training nursing students to deliver compassionate care is important. Assessment of compassion competence of Arabic-speaking nursing students requires a valid and reliable tool.
This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study.
This investigation was conducted from April to May 2019 in two universities in Saudi Arabia involving nursing students and interns. Cultural adaptation was performed using a forward-backward translation method. Content validity and construct validity through exploratory factor analysis were established. Internal consistency, stability and reliability were also determined for the scale.
The Arabic version has an excellent content validity. The exploratory factor analysis supported a three-factor solution that accounts for 50.62% of the scale's variance. The Cronbach's alpha of the scale was 0.806, whereas the Cronbach's alpha of the subscales ranged from 0.739 to 0.797. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the two-week test-retest scores was 0.84. The university, gender, year level and family type predicted the students' compassion competence.
The Arabic version can be used to measure Arabic-speaking nursing students' compassion competence in clinical areas.
本研究旨在评估沙特护理学生和实习护士的阿拉伯语版同情能力量表的有效性和可靠性。
同情是高质量医疗保健的一个重要组成部分，培训护理学生提供同情护理非常重要。评估讲阿拉伯语的护理学生的同情能力需要一个有效的、可靠的工具。
这是一项描述性和横断面研究。
本研究于 2019 年 4 月至 5 月在沙特阿拉伯的两所大学进行，涉及护理学生和实习护士。采用正向-反向翻译法进行文化适应。通过探索性因素分析确定内容效度和结构效度。还确定了量表的内部一致性、稳定性和可靠性。
阿拉伯语版具有极好的内容效度。探索性因素分析支持三因素解决方案，占量表方差的 50.62%。量表的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.806，而分量表的克朗巴赫α系数范围为 0.739 至 0.797。两周重测评分的组内相关系数为 0.84。大学、性别、年级和家庭类型预测了学生的同情能力。
阿拉伯语版可用于衡量临床领域讲阿拉伯语的护理学生的同情能力。
