The Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Telerehabilitation Acceptance Scale (Health Care Professionals' Form).

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Telerehabilitation Acceptance Scale Health Care Professionals' Form (TRAS-HP). Methods: Health care professionals between the ages of 18 and 65 years were included. TRAS-HP was used to assess study participants' acceptance of telerehabilitation. Turkish translation of the scale was followed by confirmatory and explanatory factor analyses. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were calculated. Results: Of the participants, 158 (65.83%) were female and 82 (34.17%) were male. Explanatory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure explaining 71.87% of the total variation with one item removed. Confirmatory factor analysis determined that the model fit indices (the root mean square error of approximation = 0.080, adjusted goodness of fit index = 0.857, goodness of fit index = 0.899, and chi-square/degrees of freedom = 2.516) were satisfactory. The subdimensions' factor loads ranged from 0.78 to 0.82. After confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis, the 16-item TRAS-HP was reduced to 14 items. Internal consistency (cronbach alpha = 0.947) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.927) were extremely high. Conclusions: With this study, the Turkish validity and reliability of TRAS-HP were demonstrated, and it was revealed that they are a suitable tool for determining the acceptance and awareness of telerehabilitation of health care professionals working in rehabilitation.

Latent profiles of nurses' moral resilience and compassion fatigue.

BACKGROUND: Compassion fatigue is often associated with moral distress in the nursing practice among registered nurses. Moral resilience is an important ability to maintain, restore, or promote their physical and mental health in response to ethical dilemmas in nursing. Moral resilience can be utilized as a potential solution to aid registered nurses in effectively managing compassion fatigue. AIM: To identify latent profiles of moral resilience among registered nurses and to explore the relationships of these profiles with compassion fatigue. RESEARCH DESIGN: From August 2022 to December 2022, 569 nurses were recruited in two general hospitals, in China. A Rushton Moral Resilience Scale and the Chinese version of Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale were given to the participants. A latent profile analysis was conducted to explore moral resilience latent profiles. Predictors of profiles membership was evaluated using multinomial logistic regression analysis, and the compassion fatigue scores of each latent profile were compared using a one-way analysis of variance. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS: We obtained ethical approval from the Institution Review Board of Xiangya School of Nursing, Central South University (IRB No. E202293, approved 15/July/2022). RESULTS: A four-profile moral resilience model best fit the data. Different levels and shapes differentiated the four profiles: high moral resilience (28.7%), moderate moral resilience (52.3%), low responses and high efficacy (16.2%), and low moral resilience (2.8%). Nurses with bachelor's degrees were more likely to belong to the high moral resilience (OR = 0.118, p = .038) and moderate moral resilience (OR = 0.248, p = .045); Nurses who were divorced or separated (OR = 11.746, p = .025) and very dissatisfied with their work (OR = 0.001, p = .049) were more probably belonging to low moral resilience. Nurses who had received ethical training in the hospital were more likely involved in high moral resilience (OR = 5.129, p = .003) and low responses and high efficacy (OR = 5.129, p = .003). In each profile of moral resilience, compassion fatigue was experienced differently by the participants (F = 13.05, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Developing and implementing interventions tailored to each nurse's moral resilience profile would maximize interventions' effectiveness and reduce nurses' compassion fatigue.

Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET): Adaptation and psychometric evaluation for nurses in Germany.

Background: The Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET) with 47 items was developed to assess the disaster preparedness level among nurses in the USA. Aim: This study aimed (1) to adapt and validate the DPET for the nursing context in Germany and (2) to perform its psychometric evaluation. Methods: The DPET items were translated to German (DPET-GER). Adaptation was performed to identify irrelevant items and content validity was estimated using the scale-level content validity index (S-CVI) based on expert ratings. Psychometric evaluation was performed based on data from an online survey of 317 nurses. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and factor structure were assessed with an exploratory factor analysis. Results: Ten items were unanimously rated as irrelevant by four experts and removed. Based on ratings by further seven experts, the content validity of DPET-GER was low for all 37 items (S-CVI of 0.53) or moderate for 19 items rated as relevant (S-CVI of 0.74). The internal consistency of DPET-GER was high (Cronbach's alpha of 0.94) and 37 items were reduced to five factors that explain 55% of variance in all items. Conclusions: The DPET-GER has acceptable psychometric properties (internal consistency and factor structure). However, low content validity indicates that further adaptation of the DPET-GER is required before it could be used to assess disaster preparedness among nurses in Germany. More research is also needed to contextualize the construct of disaster preparedness.

Tools for measuring medical internship experience: a scoping review.

BACKGROUND: Appropriate and well-resourced medical internship training is important to ensure psychological health and well-being of doctors in training and also to recruit and retain these doctors. However, most reviews focused on clinical competency of medical interns instead of the non-clinical aspects of training. In this scoping review, we aim to review what tools exist to measure medical internship experience and summarize the major domains assessed. METHOD: The authors searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, ERIC, and the Cochrane Library for peer-reviewed studies that provided quantitative data on medical intern's (house officer, foundation year doctor, etc.) internship experience and published between 2000 and 2019. Three reviewers screened studies for eligibility with inclusion criteria. Data including tools used, key themes examined, and psychometric properties within the study population were charted, collated, and summarized. Tools that were used in multiple studies, and tools with internal validity or reliability assessed directed in their intern population were reported. RESULTS: The authors identified 92 studies that were included in the analysis. The majority of studies were conducted in the US (n = 30, 32.6%) and the UK (n = 20, 21.7%), and only 14 studies (15.2%) were conducted in low- and middle-income countries. Major themes examined for internship experience included well-being, educational environment, and work condition and environment. For measuring well-being, standardized tools like the Maslach Burnout Inventory (for measuring burnout), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (depression), General Health Questionnaire-12 or 30 (psychological distress) and Perceived Stress Scale (stress) were used multiple times. For educational environment and work condition and environment, there is a lack of widely used tools for interns that have undergone psychometric testing in this population other than the Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure, which has been used in four different countries. CONCLUSIONS: There are a large number of tools designed for measuring medical internship experience. International comparability of results from future studies would benefit if tools that have been more widely used are employed in studies on medical interns with further testing of their psychometric properties in different contexts.

Caring Behaviors Inventory-24: translation, cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric testing for use in a Swedish context.

BACKGROUND: Patients' health and wellbeing are promoted when nurses successfully conceptualize caring in clinical practice. Measuring caring behaviors can advance knowledge about caring and has potential to improve caring practices and the outcomes of care. The Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 (CBI-24) is an empirical instrument for measuring caring, developed to determine perceptions of caring among patients and nurses. Since the instrument was not available in Swedish, the aim of this study was therefore to translate into Swedish and cross-culturally adapt CBI-24 for a Swedish healthcare context, and to psychometrically analyze the Swedish version of CBI-24. METHODS: The study used a traditional forward and back translation process in six stages: (1) two simultaneous translations by bilingual experts; (2) expert review committee synthesis; (3) blind back translation; (4) expert review committee deliberations; (5) pre-testing with cognitive interviews, and (6) psychometric evaluations. RESULTS: The translation process was systematically conducted and entailed discussions regarding semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual equivalence. The cognitive interviews generated thoughts and reflections, which resulted in adjusting three items of the CBI-24 SWE. For psychometric analyses, 234 persons answered the questionnaire. Results indicated acceptable overall model fit in the χ2-value for the confirmatory factor analysis, while for the heuristic goodness-of-fit indices, the comparative fit index (CFI) and the standardized mean square residual (SMSR) indicated good model fits, and the root mean square error approximation (RMSEA) indicated an acceptable fit. CONCLUSIONS: CBI-24 SWE has been shown to be a psychometrically acceptable instrument for use in Swedish research contexts. Further studies regarding the clinical usefulness of the instrument may be in order. In particular, CBI-24 SWE should be evaluated among nurses in rural areas.

Development of competency model for family physicians against the background of 'internet plus healthcare' in China: a mixed methods study.

BACKGROUND: Identification of the service competences of family physicians is central to ensuring high-quality primary care and improving patient outcomes. However, little is known about how to assess the family physicians' service competences in primary care settings. It is necessary to develop and validate a general model of core competences of the family physician under the stage of construction of family doctor system and implementation of 'Internet Plus Healthcare' service model in China. METHODS: The literature review, behavioural event interviews, expert consultation and questionnaire survey were performed. The scale's 35 questions were measured by response rate, highest score, lowest score, and average score for each. Delphi method was used to assess content validity, Cronbach's α to estimate reliability, and factor analysis to test structural validity. Respondents were randomly divided into two groups; data for one group were used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to explore possible model structure. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was then performed. RESULTS: Effective response rate was 93.56%. Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.977. Factor analysis showed KMO of 0.988. Bartlett's test showed χ2 of 22 917.515 (df = 630), p < .001. Overall authority grade of expert consultation was 0.80, and Kendall's coefficient of concordance W was 0.194. By EFA, the five-factor model was retained after thorough consideration, and four items with factor loading less than 0.4 were proposed to obtain a five-dimension, 32-item scale. CFA was performed on the new structure, showing high goodness-of-fit test (NFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.91, SRMSR = 0.05, RMSEA = 0.04). Overall Cronbach's α coefficients of the scale and each sub-item were greater than 0.9. CONCLUSIONS: The scale has good reliability, validity, and credibility and can therefore serve as an effective tool for assessment of Chinese family physicians' service competences.

Measuring health workers' motivation composition: validation of a scale based on Self-Determination Theory in Burkina Faso.

BACKGROUND: Although motivation of health workers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has become a topic of increasing interest by policy makers and researchers in recent years, many aspects are not well understood to date. This is partly due to a lack of appropriate measurement instruments. This article presents evidence on the construct validity of a psychometric scale developed to measure motivation composition, i.e., the extent to which motivation of different origin within and outside of a person contributes to their overall work motivation. It is theoretically grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT). METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1142 nurses in 522 government health facilities in 24 districts of Burkina Faso. We assessed the scale's validity in a confirmatory factor analysis framework, investigating whether the scale measures what it was intended to measure (content, structural, and convergent/discriminant validity) and whether it does so equally well across health worker subgroups (measurement invariance). RESULTS: Our results show that the scale measures a slightly modified version of the SDT continuum of motivation well. Measurements were overall comparable between subgroups, but results indicate that caution is warranted if a comparison of motivation scores between groups is the focus of analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The scale is a valuable addition to the repository of measurement tools for health worker motivation in LMICs. We expect it to prove useful in the quest for a more comprehensive understanding of motivation as well as of the effects and potential side effects of interventions intended to enhance motivation.

Developing a tool to assess motivation among health service providers working with public health system in India.

BACKGROUND: Addressing the shortage of health service providers (doctors and nurses) in rural health centres remains a huge challenge. The lack of motivation of health service providers to serve in rural areas is one of the major reasons for such shortage. While many studies have aimed at analysing the reasons for low motivation, hardly any studies in India have focused on developing valid and reliable tools to measure motivation among health service providers. Hence, the objective of the study was to test and develop a valid and reliable instrument to assess the motivation of health service providers working with the public health system in India and the extent to which the motivation factors included in the study motivate health service providers to perform better at work. METHODS: The present study adapted an already developed tool on motivation. The reliability and validity of the tool were established using different methods. The first stage of the tool development involved content development and assessment where, after a detailed literature review, a predeveloped tool with 19 items was adapted. However, in light of the literature review and pilot test, the same tool was modified to suit the local context by adding 7 additional items so that the final modified tool comprised of 26 items. A correlation matrix was applied to check the pattern of relationships among the items. The total sample size for the study was 154 health service providers from one Western state in India. To understand the sampling adequacy, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy and Bartlett's test of sphericity were applied and finally factor analysis was carried out to calculate the eigenvalues and to understand the relative impact of factors affecting motivation. RESULTS: A correlation matrix value of 0.017 was obtained narrating multi-co-linearity among the observations. Based on initial factor analysis, 8 out of 26 study factors were excluded from the study components with a cutoff range of less than 0.6. Running the factor analysis again suggested the inclusion of 18 items which were subsequently labelled under the following heads: transparency, goals, security, convenience, benefits, encouragement, adequacy of earnings and further growth and power. CONCLUSIONS: There is a great need to develop instruments aimed at assessing the motivation of health service providers. The instrument used in the study has good psychometric properties and may serve as a useful tool to assess motivation among healthcare providers.

Reliability of Moral Distress Scale, Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, and Jefferson Scale of Empathy Among Greek Nurses: A Pilot Study.

Background and Purpose: Moral distress (MD), secondary traumatic stress (STS), and empathy are of particular interest to the nursing profession. The availability of validated tools for the assessment of these parameters is of high importance. The primary aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the reliability of the Greek version of the MD Scale or the revised version (MDS-R), the Jefferson Scale of Empathy for Health Professionals (JSE-HP), and the STS Scale (STSS) in Greek nurses working in open and psychiatric wards. Methods: To assess the reliability of scales, internal consistency (coefficient alphas) and test-retest (interclass correlation coefficients [ICCs]) were calculated. Results: A total of 38 nurses took part in the study. All scales and subscales presented excellent stability (.876 ≤ ICC ≤ .963, p < .0001) and acceptable to excellent internal consistency reliability (first measurement, .796 ≤ coefficient alpha ≤ .959; second measurement, .794 ≤ coefficient alpha ≤ .956). Conclusions: The Greek version of MDS-R, STSS, and JSE-HP may be proposed for the assessment of relevant variables in Greek nursing staff.

Resilience in Nurses: The Reliability and Validity of the Resilience ScaleTM.

Background and Purpose: The Resilience ScaleTM (RS) RS-25 and shortened RS-14 have measured resilience but not with nurses. Our purpose was to investigate both for nurses. Methods: A random sample of 345 registered nurses from the North Carolina Board of Nursing completed an online questionnaire. Parallel analysis, factor analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed. Results: Previous RS factor models had poor confirmatory factor analysis fit. Exploratory factor analysis and item analyses suggested removing items. Good fit was found for an "RS-13" using a bifactor approach. Adequate internal consistency was demonstrated (omega = 0.77-0.90). The RS-13 general factor gave similar accuracy for bullying, physical and mental quality of life, stress, and intent to leave. Conclusions: A shortened RS is comparable in reliability, construct, and convergent validity. It measures nurse resilience well.

Reliability and Validity of the Perceived Racism Scale-Racism on the Job Subscale-in a Sample of Black Nurses.

Background and Purpose: We utilized the Perceived Racism Scale-Racism on the Job subscale-to assess how frequently Black nurses experienced racism on the job in the past year (ROTJ-Y) and throughout their lifetime (ROTJ-L). We aimed to assess the reliability and assess construct validity of each subscale in a sample of 53 nurses. Methods: Reliability was evaluated using coefficient alphas, item correlations, and interitem correlations. Construct validity was examined using exploratory factor analysis. Results: Results demonstrated that the subscales are reliable and valid. Coefficient alphas for the ROTJ-Y and ROTJ-L were .93 and .91, respectively. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a unidimensional factor for both subscales. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the Racism on the Job subscales are psychometrically sound measures of workplace racism among Black nurses.

Method: a methodological study was undertaken, in which the sample consisted of 273 nurses from two public hospitals. The scale consists of 27 items, distributed in five competence domains. For the construct validity of the adapted version of the instrument, Cronbach's Alpha was verified, Confirmatory and Exploratory Factor Analysis was applied and Cronbach's Alpha was again calculated for the questionnaire domains, aiming to validate its new structural arrangement. Results: the total Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was 0.923, while the coefficients per domain ranged from 0.397 (Management) to 0.833 (Nursing process. In the factor analysis, a Comparative Fit Index and Tucker-Lewis Index of 0.808 and 0.783 were found, respectively, demonstrating acceptable and near-ideal values. In the exploratory factor analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index was 0.918 and the result of Bartlett's sphericity test was p<0.00. After developing a new structural arrangement of the scale, the internal consistency of the new domains was confirmed and ranged from 0.732 to 0.845, that is, all indices were consistent. Conclusion: the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Competence Evaluation Questionnaire consisted of 27 items, grouped in the domains they belong to. The criteria of the exploratory factor analysis applied were met, showing an appropriate, valid and reliability instrument.

Assessment of professional competence of nurses in emergencies: created and validated instrument / Evaluación de la competencia profesional del enfermero en urgencias: Instrumento creado y validado / Avaliação da competência profissional do enfermeiro em emergências: Instrumento criado e validado

ABSTRACT Objective: To create an instrument to assess the professional competence of nurses in emergencies. Method: Methodological study carried out between 2013 and 2016 in a Brazilian university. We used the Pasquali's model and Psychometrics as references because they allow subjective phenomena to be measured. The survey covered defining steps of the behavior to be measured, the formulation of the items in the instrument, development of instructions for using the instrument and elements necessary to demonstrate validity evidence. Although we have previously performed, in a distinct and consecutive way, the literature review, definition of the Core (or Matrix) Competence and the Competence Profile, and identification of validity with Delphi, essential components to structure a technology, in this step we continued the conclusion of these Theoretical Procedures. Result: We created an instrument for self- and/or hetero-evaluation containing: personal/professional/academic characterization, Competency Scale, fictitious cases and actions representing the practice. Conclusion: We created a new soft-hard technology based on the validity evidence of contents according to experts of the five regions of Brazil.

RESUMEN Objetivo: validar las escalas de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff en enfermería y relacionarlas con variables clave en calidad de vida laboral. Materiales y métodos: participaron por encuesta electrónica, autoadministrada anónima, 433 profesionales, 33,1% de ellos profesionales de enfermería (n = 123) en quienes se realizó el estudio. Además de los datos sociodemográficos, se recogió información sobre bienestar psicológico, atención consciente, afrontamiento de la muerte y calidad de vida. La validez de constructo fue evaluada con análisis factorial confirmatorio. Se estimó fiabilidad y se recogieron evidencias de validez externa. Resultados: el modelo mostró ajuste adecuado: X2(362) = 438,59 (p = 0,01), CFI = 0,98, RMSEA = 0,05 (0,03-0,06) y fiabilidad adecuada para todas las dimensiones, excepto autonomía. Las dimensiones de bienestar se relacionaron moderada y positivamente con autoconciencia, afrontamiento ante la muerte y satisfacción por compasión, y negativamente con fatiga por compasión y burnout. Se destacan las relaciones entre dominio del entorno y burnout (-0,54) y propósito en la vida con satisfacción (0,54) y con afrontamiento de la muerte (0,50). Conclusiones: los resultados apoyan el uso de estas escalas en enfermería, pues muestran adecuada fiabilidad y validez, y varias de ellas explican hasta una cuarta parte de indicadores relevantes en salud laboral como burnout o satisfacción vital.

ABSTRACT Objective: The study was intended to validate Ryff's psychological well-being scales in nursing and to relate them to key variables in the quality of life at work. Materials and method: Four hundred thirty-three (433) professionals took part through an anonymous, self-administered electronic survey; 33.1% were nursing professionals (n = 123) and the authors focused on them. In addition to sociodemographic data, information was collected on psychological well-being, mindfulness, coping with death, and quality of life. Construct validity was evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was estimated and evidence of external validity was collected. Results: The model showed adequate adjustment: X2(362) = 438.59 (p = 0.01), CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.05 [0.03-0.06] and adequate reliability for all the dimensions except autonomy. The dimensions of well-being were moderately and positively with self-awareness, coping with death, and satisfaction from compassion, and negatively with fatigue from compassion and burnout. The association between dominance of the environment and burnout (-0.54), purpose in life and satisfaction (0.54) and coping with death (0.50) stood out. Conclusions: The results support the use of these scales in nursing, since they demonstrate adequate reliability and validity. In fact, several of them explain up to a quarter of the relevant indicators in occupational health, such as burnout or satisfaction with life.
