Design thinking (DT) competence, a creative problem-solving ability, has been investigated extensively among college students in various professional fields within the western cultures. No instrument, however, is available for assessing DT competence in nursing students, particularly, those in non-western cultures.
To adapt and validate the use of Creative Synthesis Inventory (CSI) assessing the four components (i.e., visualization, discovery, prototyping, and evaluation) of DT competence in nursing students in Taiwan.
Cross-sectional, mixed methodological design combining qualitative and quantitative strategies.
A 19-item CSI was administered to a total of 520 nursing students from two campuses of a science and technology university in Taiwan. The data collection was conducted between September 2020 and June 2022.
The cross-cultural adaptation and validation of CSI-Taiwan was done in two phases: Phase I included content validity check, translation, and cross-cultural adaptation. Phase II involved pilot testing and psychometric evaluation.
A first-order confirmatory factor analysis validated the four-component structure, namely visualization, discovery, prototyping, and evaluation, of an 18-item CSI-Taiwan (model fit indices: χ/df = 3.953, NNFI = 0.942, CFI = 0.956, TLI = 0.947, SRMR = 0.035, and RMSEA = 0.075). A second-order confirmatory factor analysis further indicated that the four components converged on a unitary construct of DT competence (model fit indices: χ/df = 4.082, NNFI = 0.935, CFI = 0.949, TLI = 0.940, SRMR = 0.040, and RMSEA = 0.080). Moreover, the CSI-Taiwan also demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity. Together these results validated the construct of DT competence and its components as theorized.
The CSI-Taiwan was a reliable and valid self-report instrument to be used by Taiwanese nursing students.
设计思维(DT)能力是一种创造性解决问题的能力,已在西方文化的各种专业领域的大学生中进行了广泛研究。然而,在护理学生中,特别是在非西方文化中,没有用于评估 DT 能力的工具。
改编并验证创造性综合量表(CSI)在台湾护理学生中评估 DT 能力的四个组成部分(即可视化、发现、原型制作和评估)的使用。
结合定性和定量策略的横断、混合方法设计。
共有来自台湾一所科技大学两个校区的 520 名护理学生参加了 CSI 的测试。数据收集于 2020 年 9 月至 2022 年 6 月进行。
CSI-台湾的跨文化适应和验证分两个阶段进行:第一阶段包括内容有效性检查、翻译和跨文化适应。第二阶段涉及试点测试和心理测量评估。
一阶验证性因子分析验证了 CSI-Taiwan 的四个组成部分,即可视化、发现、原型制作和评估,共包含 18 个项目(模型拟合指数:χ/df=3.953,NNFI=0.942,CFI=0.956,TLI=0.947,SRMR=0.035,RMSEA=0.075)。二阶验证性因子分析进一步表明,这四个组成部分集中在 DT 能力的一个单一结构上(模型拟合指数:χ/df=4.082,NNFI=0.935,CFI=0.949,TLI=0.940,SRMR=0.040,RMSEA=0.080)。此外,CSI-Taiwan 还表现出了令人满意的可靠性和有效性。这些结果共同验证了 DT 能力及其组成部分的理论构建。
CSI-Taiwan 是一种可靠且有效的自评工具,可用于台湾护理学生。
