In 2018, the Korean version of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher scale was evaluated for validity and reliability.
This study aimed to test the instrument's measurement invariance and to compare the latent means of groups.
This was a cross-sectional study.
Nursing departments in four metropolitan cities and five regions of Korea. The study sample comprised 507 nursing students.
Bachelor's-level nursing students in their third and fourth years who have experienced clinical practicum.
Data were collected from November 11 to December 24, 2018 using the Korean Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher scale. Confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. Measurement invariance of the Korean Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher scale was tested in the following order: configural invariance, factor-loading invariance, intercept invariance, factor variance/covariance invariance, and residual invariance, by student year, hospital grade (tertiary or general hospital) and assignment of a nurse instructor (or not).
The measurement invariance of the Korean Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher scale by student year and hospital grade were confirmed by configural invariance, factor-loading invariance, intercept invariance, factor variance/covariance invariance, and residual invariance. The measurement invariance of the scale by assignment of a nurse instructor (or not) was also confirmed for configural invariance, factor-loading invariance, partial intercept invariance, partial factor variance/covariance invariance, and partial residual invariance. Comparing latent mean values, there was a statistically significant difference in the mean of the sub-dimensions of the Korean Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher scale by student year, hospital grade, and nurse assignment (or not).
The Korean Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher scale is an appropriate instrument for measuring the clinical learning environment regardless of student year, hospital grade, or nurse assignment.
2018 年，对韩国版临床学习环境、监督和护士教师量表进行了有效性和可靠性评估。
本研究旨在检验该工具的测量不变性，并比较群体的潜在均值。
这是一项横断面研究。
韩国四个大都市和五个地区的护理系。研究样本包括 507 名护理专业学生。
有临床实习经验的三年级和四年级本科护理学生。
2018 年 11 月 11 日至 12 月 24 日，使用韩国临床学习环境、监督和护士教师量表收集数据。进行验证性因素分析和多组验证性因素分析。按照学生年级、医院级别（三级或二级医院）和护士教师分配（或不分配）的顺序，依次检验韩国临床学习环境、监督和护士教师量表的测量不变性：结构不变性、因子负荷不变性、截距不变性、因子方差/协方差不变性和残差不变性。
通过结构不变性、因子负荷不变性、截距不变性、因子方差/协方差不变性和残差不变性，确认了学生年级和医院级别对韩国临床学习环境、监督和护士教师量表的测量不变性。通过结构不变性、因子负荷不变性、部分截距不变性、部分因子方差/协方差不变性和部分残差不变性，也确认了对护士教师分配（或不分配）的量表的测量不变性。比较潜在均值，学生年级、医院级别和护士教师分配（或不分配）对韩国临床学习环境、监督和护士教师量表的子维度的均值存在统计学显著差异。
无论学生年级、医院级别或护士教师分配如何，韩国临床学习环境、监督和护士教师量表都是测量临床学习环境的合适工具。
