Nursing students experience higher attrition rates than average college students due to the academic rigor of nursing programs. This study examined psychometric properties of the Professional Integration Factors Retention Strategies Survey (PIF-RSS), which measured constructs of faculty advisement and helpfulness, professional events, memberships, encouragement by friends in class, peer mentoring-tutoring, and enrichment programs.
The PIF-RSS survey was distributed to deans, directors, and program coordinators of traditional Bachelor's in Nursing programs.
Following exploratory factor analysis, 47 items aligned within a 5-factor solution were retained. Reliability of the total instrument was .90.
This study provides preliminary evidence of the psychometric properties of the PIF-RSS instrument. Additional studies are recommended to further examine instrument psychometric properties for different program types and populations.
由于护理课程的学术严谨性，护理专业的学生比普通大学生的辍学率更高。本研究旨在检验专业整合因素保留策略调查（PIF-RSS）的心理测量学特性，该调查衡量了教师指导和帮助、专业活动、会员资格、课堂上朋友的鼓励、朋辈辅导和丰富计划等方面的结构。
向传统护理学学士课程的院长、主任和项目协调员分发了 PIF-RSS 调查。
经过探索性因素分析，保留了 47 项与 5 个因素解决方案一致的项目。该工具的整体信度为 0.90。
本研究为 PIF-RSS 工具的心理测量学特性提供了初步证据。建议进行更多研究，以进一步检验不同课程类型和人群的工具心理测量学特性。
