The aim of the study was to develop a survey instrument and psychometrically evaluate nurses' perceptions of the gap between knowledge and practice. Although the nursing literature has widely documented a gap between knowledge and practice, no instrument has been developed to measure this gap.
Psychometric analysis was done on 513 nurses working in different positions at two large hospitals in Jeddah City.
Cronbach's alpha was used to determine the internal consistency and reliability of the research instrument, and a panel of experts evaluated the validity of the tool's content.
The content validity index computed from expert rankings was 0.89. Factor analysis yielded four major components: knowledge, practice, environment and learning. Cronbach's alpha indicated a high level of internal consistency and reliability for the component items. The newly developed scale will facilitate measuring nurses' perceptions of the knowledge-practice gap in clinical settings.
本研究旨在开发一种调查工具,并对护士对知识与实践之间差距的认知进行心理计量学评估。尽管护理文献广泛记录了知识与实践之间存在差距,但尚未开发出衡量这种差距的工具。
在吉达市的两家大医院,对从事不同岗位的 513 名护士进行了心理计量学分析。
采用克朗巴哈α系数来确定研究工具的内部一致性和可靠性,专家组评估了工具内容的有效性。
从专家评分中计算得出的内容效度指数为 0.89。因素分析得出四个主要成分:知识、实践、环境和学习。克朗巴哈α系数表明,组成项目具有较高的内部一致性和可靠性。新开发的量表将有助于衡量护士在临床环境中对知识-实践差距的认知。
