Human trafficking is an urgent health threat. This study sought to psychometrically validate the novel Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Human Trafficking scale.
Using data from a 2018 study of pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses (n = 777), this secondary analysis examined dimensionality and reliability of the survey.
The Cronbach α for scale constructs was < 0.7 for knowledge and 0.78 for attitudes. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses identified a bifactor model for knowledge with relative fit indexes within standard cutoffs, root mean square error of approximation = 0.03, comparative fit index = 0.95, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.94, and standardized root mean square residual = 0.06. The attitudes construct indicated a 2-factor model with root mean square error of approximation = 0.04, comparative fit index = 0.99, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.98, and standardized root mean square residual = 0.06, within standard cutoffs.
The scale is a promising tool in advancing nursing response to trafficking but needs further refinement to increase utility and uptake.
人口贩运是一个紧迫的健康威胁。本研究旨在对新的儿科护士从业者对人口贩运的知识和态度量表进行心理测量学验证。
使用 2018 年对儿科重点的高级实践注册护士（n=777）的研究数据，本二次分析检验了调查的维度和可靠性。
知识量表结构的 Cronbach α<0.7，态度量表的 Cronbach α为 0.78。探索性和验证性分析确定了知识的双因素模型，相对拟合指数在标准截止值内，近似均方根误差=0.03，比较拟合指数=0.95，塔克-刘易斯指数=0.94，标准化均方根残差=0.06。态度结构表明，近似均方根误差=0.04，比较拟合指数=0.99，塔克-刘易斯指数=0.98，标准化均方根残差=0.06，在标准截止值内，存在 2 因素模型。
该量表是推进护理应对人口贩运的有前途的工具，但需要进一步改进，以提高其效用和采用率。
