Nursing students' ethical sensitivity is crucial for providing high-quality patient care. Assessing this sensitivity using standardized tools is essential for both students and professional nurses. This study aimed to determine the properties of cultural adaptation and the psychometric evaluation of the Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire for Nursing Students (ESQ-NS).
This methodological study, conducted between April and November 2023, involved 480 nursing students who were selected through convenience sampling. The ESQ-NS was translated into Persian following the method described by Wild et al. (2005). The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 27) and LISREL (version 8.8) software. The EFA and CFA validated a three-factor, 13-item structure for the assessment tool. The Pearson correlation coefficient demonstrated a positive and significant correlation between the items and their respective subscales of the overall scale. The reliability of the Persian version of the ESQ-NS was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.781, a MacDonald's Omega coefficient of 0.78, and an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of 0.78 (CI: 0.743- 0.816). The Persian version of the ESQ-NS demonstrates acceptable reliability and validity, making it a suitable tool for evaluating the ethical sensitivity of nursing students in Iran.
护理专业学生的伦理敏感性对于提供高质量的患者护理至关重要。使用标准化工具评估这种敏感性对学生和专业护士都至关重要。本研究旨在确定《护理专业学生伦理敏感性问卷》(ESQ-NS)的文化适应特性和心理测量学评价。
这项方法学研究于2023年4月至11月进行,纳入了480名通过便利抽样选取的护理专业学生。ESQ-NS按照Wild等人(2005年)描述的方法翻译成波斯语。使用SPSS(版本27)和LISREL(版本8.8)软件对数据进行分析。探索性因素分析(EFA)和验证性因素分析(CFA)验证了该评估工具的三因素、13项结构。皮尔逊相关系数表明各项目与其在总量表中各自子量表之间存在显著正相关。ESQ-NS波斯语版本的信度通过克朗巴哈α系数为0.781、麦克唐纳欧米伽系数为0.78以及组内相关系数(ICC)为0.78(置信区间:0.743 - 0.816)得到证实。ESQ-NS波斯语版本显示出可接受的信度和效度,使其成为评估伊朗护理专业学生伦理敏感性的合适工具。
