As shown in the previous literature, in view of the future responsibilities of nursing professionals and the consequences for healthcare, it is of great interest to examine their risk perceptions, coping behaviors, and sense of coherency during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to design and to validate a specific questionnaire that evaluates the factors relating to perceived risk, coping behaviors, and preventive knowledge against COVID-19 infection among nursing students from Spain. This is a psychometric study of a questionnaire's design and its validation in 1562 nursing students at 16 undergraduate nursing institutions in Spain. An survey was designed by a panel of six experts drawing from the literature. After a trial test, the questionnaire was formed with four scales (perception, risk, coping, and knowledge of preventive practices for COVID-19), with a total of 69 items. The final questionnaire was composed of 52 items grouped into four scales, with good psychometric properties to measure risk perception (Cronbach's alpha 0.735), factors related to perceived risk (Cronbach's alpha 0.653), coping behaviors (Cronbach's alpha 0.80), and knowledge of preventive practices against COVID-19 (Cronbach's alpha 0.77). This questionnaire, specifically designed and validated for nursing students, is the first to address four important areas in the development of preventive measures against COVID-19.
如先前文献所示，鉴于护理专业人员未来的职责以及对医疗保健的影响，在新冠疫情期间研究他们的风险认知、应对行为和连贯感具有重要意义。本研究的目的是设计并验证一份特定问卷，以评估西班牙护理专业学生对新冠病毒感染的感知风险、应对行为和预防知识等相关因素。这是一项对西班牙16所本科护理院校的1562名护理专业学生进行问卷设计及其效度验证的心理测量学研究。一个由六名专家组成的小组根据文献设计了一份调查问卷。经过预测试后，问卷形成了四个量表（新冠病毒感染的感知、风险、应对及预防措施知识），共69个项目。最终问卷由52个项目组成，分为四个量表，具有良好的心理测量学特性，可用于测量风险感知（克朗巴哈系数α为0.735）、感知风险相关因素（克朗巴哈系数α为0.653）、应对行为（克朗巴哈系数α为0.80）以及新冠病毒感染预防措施知识（克朗巴哈系数α为0.77）。这份专门为护理专业学生设计并验证的问卷，首次涉及了新冠疫情防控措施制定中的四个重要领域。
