Stress is an important issue in clinical nursing education because it may obstruct learning in clinical environments. This study aimed to translate, adapt, and investigate the psychometric properties of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), an instrument for measuring stress.
Nursing students ( = 189) from five different universities of applied sciences participated in this study in 2018. The modified English version of the 29-item six-factor PSS was cross-culturally adapted into Finnish. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to assess the scale's factor structure. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to validate the "best fit" model.
The proposed 16-item four-factor model showed excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.90.
The results support the use of the 16-item four-factor stress scale to investigate stress among Finnish nursing students.
压力是临床护理教育中的一个重要问题，因为它可能会阻碍临床环境中的学习。本研究旨在翻译、改编和研究用于测量压力的工具——感知压力量表（PSS）的心理测量学特性。
2018 年，来自五所不同应用科学大学的护理学生（n=189）参与了这项研究。29 项六因素 PSS 的改良英文版本被跨文化改编成芬兰语。进行探索性因素分析以评估量表的结构。进行验证性因素分析以验证“最佳拟合”模型。
提出的 16 项四因素模型显示出极好的内部一致性，克朗巴赫的α值为 0.90。
研究结果支持使用 16 项四因素压力量表来调查芬兰护理学生的压力。
