The aim was to translate and adapt the Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice Scale (CFRPS) into Turkish and assess its validity and reliability for senior nursing students.
Nursing students' readiness for practice is important for quality nursing care and to support new graduate nurses and orient them quickly for their professional life. Nurse educators and nurse managers are responsible for develop nursing students' and new graduate nurses' readiness for practice. Currently, there is no valid and reliable tool to assess this metric for senior nursing students in Turkey.
The study was conducted using a methodological approach.
The sample of the study consisted of 179 students who were enrolled in the last year of nursing school across three state universities in one region of Turkey. A socio-demographic form and the Turkish version of the CFRPS were used for data collection. Data were collected online between 12 April - 17 May 2021. Content validity was assessed using expert approval. Confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were used to assess validity. Cronbach's alpha and test-retest were performed to assess reliability.
Nursing students' mean age was found to be 22.3 ± 1.12. The content validity index of the scale was calculated as 0.94. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis identified 15 items, which could be categorized under one factor, that were obtained differently from the original scale. The factor loads were found to be between 0.39 and 0.70. The Cronbach's alpha of the scale was 0.881. One factor model achieved a good fit.
The study demonstrated that the Turkish version of the CFRPS is a valid and reliable assessment tool to evaluate senior nursing students' readiness for practice. Information in the Turkish version of the CFRPS was obtained differently from the original scale. Nurse educators can use this tool to assess their students' progress in readiness for practice before they graduate.
将 Casey-Fink 实践准备量表(CFRPS)翻译并改编为土耳其语,并评估其对护理专业高年级学生的有效性和信度。
护理学生的实践准备对于提供高质量的护理至关重要,并且有助于支持新毕业的护士并帮助他们快速适应职业生涯。护理教育者和护士管理者有责任培养护理学生和新毕业护士的实践准备。目前,土耳其还没有针对护理专业高年级学生的有效且可靠的评估工具。
本研究采用方法论方法进行。
研究样本由来自土耳其一个地区的三所国立大学的护理专业最后一年的 179 名学生组成。使用社会人口统计学表格和土耳其语版的 CFRPS 进行数据收集。数据于 2021 年 4 月 12 日至 5 月 17 日期间在网上收集。内容效度通过专家认可进行评估。采用验证性因子分析、探索性因子分析和结构方程模型来评估有效性。采用克朗巴赫 α系数和重测信度来评估信度。
护理学生的平均年龄为 22.3±1.12 岁。量表的内容效度指数计算为 0.94。验证性和探索性因子分析确定了 15 个项目,这些项目可以归类为一个因素,与原始量表不同。因子负荷在 0.39 到 0.70 之间。量表的克朗巴赫 α系数为 0.881。单因素模型拟合度良好。
研究表明,土耳其语版的 CFRPS 是一种有效且可靠的评估工具,可用于评估护理专业高年级学生的实践准备情况。土耳其语版 CFRPS 的信息与原始量表不同。护理教育者可以在学生毕业前使用此工具评估他们的实践准备进展情况。
