To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Academic Grit Scale for nursing students.
Grit, defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, is widely recognized as a predictor of success in demanding fields like nursing. Valid and reliable instruments are needed to assess grit, particularly in the academic context among Chinese nursing students, given potential cultural influences.
A cross-sectional descriptive design.
A total of 450 nursing students from two local medical universities completed the Academic Grit Scale, the Short Grit Scale and the Big Five Inventory and reported grade point average. Data were analyzed for item characteristics, reliability (Cronbach's α and split-half), content validity (expert review), structural validity (confirmatory factor analysis), convergent and discriminant validity (correlations) and criterion validity (hierarchical regression).
The Chinese Academic Grit Scale had good item discrimination, high internal reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.94, split-half coefficient = 0.92) and excellent content validity (item content validity index = 0.80-1.00, average content validity index = 0.96). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original one-factor structure (χ/df = 4.92, p < 0.001). The scale showed good convergent and discriminant validity with general grit and Big Five personalities and satisfactory criterion validity such that the score could explain incremental variance in predicting grade point average.
The Chinese Academic Grit Scale is a reliable and valid measure of academic grit among nursing students. It has potential value in identifying students who may benefit from interventions to cultivate academic grit and success.
评估中文版护理专业学生学术毅力量表的心理测量特性。
毅力被定义为对长期目标的坚持不懈和热情，在护理等要求较高的领域，它被广泛认为是成功的预测指标。鉴于潜在的文化影响，需要有效且可靠的工具来评估毅力，尤其是在中国护理专业学生的学术背景下。
横断面描述性设计。
来自两所当地医科大学的450名护理专业学生完成了学术毅力量表、简短毅力量表和大五人格量表，并报告了平均绩点。对数据进行了项目特征、信度（克朗巴哈α系数和分半信度）、内容效度（专家评审）、结构效度（验证性因素分析）、聚合效度和区分效度（相关性）以及效标效度（层次回归）分析。
中文版学术毅力量表具有良好的项目区分度、较高的内部信度（克朗巴哈α系数 = 0.94，分半系数 = 0.92）和出色的内容效度（项目内容效度指数 = 0.80 - 1.00，平均内容效度指数 = 0.96）。验证性因素分析支持原有的单因素结构（χ/df = 4.92，p < 0.001）。该量表在与一般毅力和大五人格的聚合效度和区分效度方面表现良好，效标效度也令人满意，即该分数能够解释预测平均绩点时的增量方差。
中文版学术毅力量表是一种可靠且有效的护理专业学生学术毅力测量工具。它在识别可能从培养学术毅力和成功的干预措施中受益的学生方面具有潜在价值。
