This study endeavors to translate and psycho-metrically validate the metacognitive awareness inventory scale (MAS) for nursing students in China.
A total of 592 nursing students were enlisted from four universities situated in the eastern, southern, western, and northern regions of China. Content validity and reliability were evaluated using the content validity index and item-total correlation coefficient, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients, respectively. Convergent validity examined the goodness of fit among sub-scales through the average extracted variance and composite reliability.
Exploratory factor analysis confirmed the first-order and second-order factor models, contributing to a cumulative variance of 89.4 and 59.5%, respectively. The Cronbach's alpha values were 0.963 and 0.801, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis outcomes indicated an excellent overall fit index for the model, satisfying the convergent validity criteria and achieving a target coefficient of 96.0%, which is consistent with the original scale structure.
The Chinese version of the MAS (C-MAS) is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing metacognitive awareness among Chinese nursing students. Further research should consider a broader sample of nursing students across China to reinforce the scale's applicability.
本研究旨在对中国护理专业学生的元认知意识量表（MAS）进行翻译，并对其进行心理测量学验证。
从中国东部、南部、西部和北部地区的四所大学招募了592名护理专业学生。分别使用内容效度指数、项目-总分相关系数以及克朗巴哈α系数来评估内容效度和信度。收敛效度通过平均提取方差和组合信度来检验各子量表之间的拟合优度。
探索性因素分析证实了一阶和二阶因素模型，其累积方差分别为89.4%和59.5%。克朗巴哈α值分别为0.963和0.801。验证性因素分析结果表明该模型具有出色的整体拟合指数，满足收敛效度标准，目标系数达到96.0%，与原量表结构一致。
中文版元认知意识量表（C-MAS）是评估中国护理专业学生元认知意识的可靠且有效的工具。进一步的研究应考虑纳入中国更广泛的护理专业学生样本，以增强该量表的适用性。
