Considering the vital role of nurses in responding to disasters, it is essential to measure their readiness with a valid and reliable tool. The present study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the Disaster Nursing Readiness Evaluation Index (F-DNREI).
This cross-sectional study was conducted between 2023 and 2024 among 200 nurses working at educational hospitals affiliated with one of the medical universities in Tehran, Iran. The Disaster Nursing Readiness Evaluation Index was translated into Persian. The face, content, and construct validity, as well as internal consistency, were analyzed.
In the exploratory factor analysis, five factors were extracted: practical skills for disaster response, adaptability to stressful situations at the disaster site, communication and cooperation skills for teamwork, emergency nursing skills, and effective coping with daily stress. Together, these factors accounted for 39.7% of the total variance. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the extracted model fit well: CMIN/DF = 1.519, CFI = 0.889, RMSEA = 0.051. The Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients for the entire questionnaire were 0.890 and 0.891, respectively.
Given that Iran is frequently exposed to disasters, it becomes essential to assess the preparedness of Iranian nurses using a valid and reliable scale. The availability of the Farsi version of the Disaster Nursing Readiness Evaluation Index (F-DNREI), which has undergone validation and reliability testing, facilitates accurate measurement of this concept.
鉴于护士在应对灾害方面的重要作用，使用有效且可靠的工具来衡量他们的准备情况至关重要。本研究旨在评估灾难护理准备评估指数（F-DNREI）波斯语版本的心理测量学特性。
这是一项在 2023 年至 2024 年期间在伊朗德黑兰的一所医科大学附属医院教育医院工作的 200 名护士中进行的横断面研究。灾难护理准备评估指数被翻译为波斯语。分析了表面、内容和结构效度以及内部一致性。
在探索性因素分析中，提取了五个因素：应对灾害的实际技能、在灾害现场适应紧张情况的能力、团队合作的沟通和协作技能、紧急护理技能以及有效应对日常压力的能力。这五个因素共占总方差的 39.7%。验证性因素分析的结果表明，提取的模型拟合良好：CMIN/DF=1.519，CFI=0.889，RMSEA=0.051。整个问卷的克朗巴赫的阿尔法和麦克唐纳的奥米茄系数分别为 0.890 和 0.891。
鉴于伊朗经常面临灾害，使用有效且可靠的量表评估伊朗护士的准备情况变得至关重要。灾难护理准备评估指数（F-DNREI）波斯语版本的可用性，经过验证和可靠性测试，便于准确测量这一概念。
