To develop a valid and reliable scale to measure entrepreneurship competences of nursing students, by assessing the level of development of diverse entrepreneurship dimensions.
An Entrepreneurship Measurement Instrument, Catalonia (IME.Cat) was constructed, by adapting two existing instruments, and a psychometric study was performed to address the validity of the content and the construct, and the reliability. The internal consistency and the discrimination capacity of the instrument's items were examined.
The IME.Cat scale showed a high reliability (α=0.89) for the complete set of items. The Cronbach's α value of the individual dimensions were: Problem management=0.78; Creativity=0.76; Personal confidence =0.64; and Risk acceptance =0.46. The corrected homogeneity indices for each of the item in the instrument were high (>0.40). The Confirmatory Factorial Analysis validated the proposed structure of the items according to dimension.
The IME.Cat scale showed solid psychometric values for assessing the entrepreneurship competences of nursing students within its dimensions, which are fundamental for the professional development of nursing.
通过评估不同创业维度的发展水平，开发一种用于衡量护理学生创业能力的有效且可靠的量表。
通过改编两个现有的量表，构建了一个创业测量工具，加泰罗尼亚（IME.Cat），并进行了心理测量学研究，以解决内容和结构的有效性以及可靠性问题。对仪器项目的内部一致性和区分能力进行了检查。
IME.Cat 量表对整套项目具有很高的可靠性（α=0.89）。个别维度的 Cronbach's α 值分别为：问题管理=0.78；创造力=0.76；个人信心=0.64；和风险接受度=0.46。该工具中每个项目的校正同质性指数均较高（>0.40）。验证性因子分析根据维度验证了项目的拟议结构。
IME.Cat 量表在评估护理学生的创业能力方面表现出良好的心理计量学价值，这是护理专业发展的基础。
