A violence prevention climate is critical for nurses' well-being but also for nursing practice and the quality of care. This study examined the reliability and factor validity of the European Portuguese version of the 12-item Violence Prevention Climate Scale (VPCS).
Data came from a sample of 120 nurses providing care in Portugal. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the structural theory of the scale.
First and second-order confirmatory factor analysis models showed identical goodness-of-fit suggesting the adequacy of the models to the sample data. Our results also provide evidence of composite reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity.
Consistent with previous studies, data from this study showed that the Portuguese version of the 12-item VPCS is a reliable and valid scale to evaluate nurses' perceptions of a violence prevention climate.
预防暴力的氛围对护士的健康至关重要，也对护理实践和护理质量至关重要。本研究检验了 12 项暴力预防氛围量表（VPCS）的欧洲葡萄牙语版本的信度和因子有效性。
数据来自葡萄牙提供护理的 120 名护士的样本。验证性因子分析用于检验量表的结构理论。
一阶和二阶验证性因子分析模型显示出相同的拟合优度，表明模型与样本数据的适配度良好。我们的结果还提供了组合可靠性以及收敛和区别效度的证据。
与先前的研究一致，本研究的数据表明，12 项 VPCS 的葡萄牙语版本是评估护士对预防暴力氛围看法的可靠和有效的量表。
