To evaluate nursing students' professionalism attitude, it is necessary to use a validated and reliable instrument.
This study aimed to develop the Persian version of the eight-dimensional professionalism attitude questionnaire for student nurses (Instrument of Professional Attitude for Student Nurses).
In this cross-sectional study during March to April 2017, after being translated into Persian and receiving experts' comments face, content, and construct validity of the questionnaire were sought among nursing students. Internal consistency reliability was examined by estimating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and stability was estimated by calculating intraclass correlation coefficinet.
A total of 750 students with an average age of 24.15 (SD = 1.32) years participated in the study. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the construct of the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire instrument was 0.89 and more than 0.70 for all dimensions. Also the intraclass correlation coefficient for the questionnaire was found to be 0.92, well above acceptable threshold. The findings approved that the Iranian version of Instrument of Professional Attitude for Student Nurses is a reliable and valid questionnaire. Hence, using this questionnaire to conduct studies is recommended.
评估护理学生的专业态度,需要使用经过验证和可靠的工具。
本研究旨在开发波斯语版的八维度护理学生专业态度问卷(护理学生专业态度量表)。
在 2017 年 3 月至 4 月进行的这项横断面研究中,在将问卷翻译成波斯语并收到专家的意见后,对护理学生进行了问卷的表面、内容和结构效度评估。通过估计克朗巴赫 α系数来评估内部一致性信度,通过计算组内相关系数来评估稳定性。
共有 750 名平均年龄为 24.15 岁(SD=1.32)的学生参加了研究。探索性和验证性因子分析均证实了问卷的结构。整个工具的克朗巴赫 α系数为 0.89,所有维度均大于 0.70。问卷的组内相关系数也为 0.92,远高于可接受的阈值。研究结果表明,护理学生专业态度量表的伊朗语版本是一个可靠和有效的问卷。因此,建议使用该问卷进行研究。
