The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory is an instrument which assesses the risk and protective factors behind resilience. However, there is no valid or reliable Persian instrument for measuring resilience amongst nursing students in Iran. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory among nursing students. This methodological study was done in 2017. The participants were 200 nursing students who were randomly recruited from Neyshabur city. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was also assessed through the internal consistency assessment method. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a three-factor structure for the Inventory which accounted for 48.21% of its total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the first-order model. The internal consistency values of the Inventory and its domains were good, confirming its great internal consistency and reliability. The Persian version of the Baruth Protective Factors Inventory was found to have acceptable validity and reliability to assess resilience amongst nursing students. Therefore, the Persian version of The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory can help nursing authorities identify non-resilient students, promote their resilience, and thereby improve their academic and clinical performance. Nursing students' improved performance can positively affect both the quality of care and patient outcomes.
巴鲁特保护因素量表是一种评估韧性背后风险和保护因素的工具。然而，伊朗目前还没有针对护理学生的有效且可靠的波斯语版韧性测量工具。本研究旨在评估巴鲁特保护因素量表波斯语版在护理学生中的心理测量特性。这是 2017 年进行的一项方法学研究。参与者是从内沙布尔市随机招募的 200 名护理专业学生。使用探索性和验证性因子分析评估结构效度。通过内部一致性评估方法评估信度。探索性因子分析表明，该量表具有三因素结构，占总方差的 48.21%。验证性因子分析证实了一阶模型。该量表及其各领域的内部一致性值良好，表明其具有较高的内部一致性和信度。巴鲁特保护因素量表波斯语版具有评估护理学生韧性的可接受的有效性和信度。因此，巴鲁特保护因素量表波斯语版可以帮助护理管理部门识别非韧性学生，促进他们的韧性，从而提高他们的学业和临床表现。护理学生表现的提高可以积极影响护理质量和患者结果。
