This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Conditions for Workplace Effectiveness Questionnaire-II-Arabic Version (CWEQ-II-AV), which measures structural empowerment among nurses. To enhance the usability and credibility of the CWEQ-II among researchers within Arabic-speaking countries, a valid and reliable Arabic version of the measure is necessary.
A cross-sectional research design was used. From December 2018 to June 2019, 275 nurses working in 4 hospitals participated in the study. Reliability was assessed by examining internal consistency and split-half reliability. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the factor structure of the CWEQ-II-AV.
The psychometric properties of the CWEQ-II-AV were excellent regarding the six-factor model (opportunity, information, resources, support, formal power, and informal power). The results showed the following fit indices meet the criteria set a priori: comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.96, root mean square of error approximation (RMSEA) = 0.06, and / = 2.08. Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.95 for the total questionnaire and ranged between 0.83 and 0.89 for the individual subscales. The split-half reliability was 0.91 for the total questionnaire and ranged from 0.83 to 0.87 for individual subscales.
This study provides evidence that CWEQ-II-AV is both a reliable and valid measure of structural empowerment among Arab nurses.
本研究旨在检验工作场所效能条件问卷 - 阿拉伯语版（CWEQ-II-AV）的心理测量特性，该问卷用于测量护士的结构性赋权。为提高阿拉伯语国家研究人员使用CWEQ-II的便利性和可信度，有必要有一个有效且可靠的阿拉伯语版本。
采用横断面研究设计。2018年12月至2019年6月，4家医院的275名护士参与了该研究。通过检查内部一致性和分半信度来评估信度。进行验证性因素分析以评估CWEQ-II-AV的因素结构。
CWEQ-II-AV在六因素模型（机会、信息、资源、支持、正式权力和非正式权力）方面的心理测量特性极佳。结果显示以下拟合指数符合先验设定的标准：比较拟合指数（CFI）= 0.96，误差近似均方根（RMSEA）= 0.06，χ²/df = 2.08。总问卷的Cronbach's α系数为0.95，各子量表的系数在0.83至0.89之间。总问卷的分半信度为0.91，各子量表的分半信度在0.83至0.87之间。
本研究提供了证据表明CWEQ-II-AV是测量阿拉伯护士结构性赋权的一种可靠且有效的工具。
