Given the high incidence of coronavirus and the shortage of nurses in Iranian hospitals, nurses' intention to care for patients with COVID-19 is important. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the nurses' intention to care scale (NICS) by Iranian nurses who care for patients with COVID-19 in hospitals.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on nurses (n= 400) at public and private Mazandaran hospitals. An online questionnaire was used that consisted of two parts: demographic variables and NICS. The scale was translated into Persian first and then validated using both construct and content validity.
The findings from an exploratory factor analysis yielded six factors that explained 53.12% of the total variance of the NICS. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the model had a good fit and the inter-item correlation values of the factors indicated good internal consistency.
The Persian version of NICS in Iranian nurses had six factors. The results of our study add insight for nurse administrators and educators to further develop strategies to increase nurses' intention by improving positive attitudes and reducing their negative beliefs.
鉴于冠状病毒的高发病率以及伊朗医院护士短缺的情况，护士护理新冠肺炎患者的意愿很重要。本研究的目的是评估伊朗医院中护理新冠肺炎患者的护士所使用的护士护理意愿量表（NICS）波斯语版本的信效度。
对马赞德兰省公立和私立医院的护士（n = 400）进行了一项横断面研究。使用了一份在线问卷，该问卷由两部分组成：人口统计学变量和NICS。该量表首先被翻译成波斯语，然后使用结构效度和内容效度进行验证。
探索性因素分析的结果产生了六个因素，这些因素解释了NICS总方差的53.12%。验证性因素分析表明该模型拟合良好，各因素的项目间相关值表明内部一致性良好。
伊朗护士使用的NICS波斯语版本有六个因素。我们的研究结果为护士管理人员和教育工作者进一步制定策略提供了见解，以通过改善积极态度和减少消极信念来提高护士的意愿。
