Abstract

Background and aim

Identifying and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of nursing care provided to improve the quality of nursing care is increasingly emphasized, and it requires using valid tools in this field. This study aimed to translate and determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the “Good Nursing Care Scale” (GNCS-P).

Methods

The present study is a methodological study in which the psychometric dimensions of GNCS-P were studied from the perspective of 200 patients who were admitted to the hospitals of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences. After translating the original version of the scale, its validity and reliability were evaluated and data analysis was performed using statistical package for social science (version 16) and analysis of moment structures (version 24).

Results

The effect score of the item in the evaluation of face validity for each item was above 2.4. The content validity ratio for the scale was 0.88, and the content validity index tool was 0.86. The correlation of total instrument scores with the standard instrument was 0.839. According to the results of factor analysis, the values of factor loading of items were between 0.62 and 0.91, which were all significant. Therefore, the seven dimensions introduced in the main tool were approved. In addition, Cronbach's alpha results of 0.865 and correlation of 0.894 in the test–retest showed that the questionnaire has internal consistency and acceptable stability.

Conclusion

The Persian version of the GNCS-P has acceptable psychometric properties in the Iranian population and can be used as a valid tool in the areas of quality assessment of nursing care, education, and nursing research.

Implications for Nursing Practice

The results showed the validity and reliability of the tool and its usability as a valid tool in evaluating the quality of nursing care.

伊朗良好护理量表波斯语版本的翻译和心理测量。

背景和目的：识别和评估护理工作的优缺点以提高护理质量日益受到重视，这需要在该领域使用有效的工具。本研究旨在翻译并确定波斯语版 "良好护理量表"（GNCS-P）的心理测量特性：本研究是一项方法学研究，从 200 名阿尔达比勒医科大学医院住院患者的角度研究了 GNCS-P 的心理测量维度。在翻译了量表的原始版本后，对其有效性和可靠性进行了评估，并使用社会科学统计软件包（16 版）和矩结构分析（24 版）进行了数据分析：结果：在面效度评价中，每个项目的效果得分都高于 2.4。量表的内容效度比为 0.88，内容效度指标工具为 0.86。量表总分与标准量表的相关性为 0.839。因子分析结果显示，各项目因子载荷值介于 0.62 和 0.91 之间，均具有显著性。因此，主工具中引入的七个维度得到了认可。此外，Cronbach's alpha 结果为 0.865，重测相关性为 0.894，这表明问卷具有内部一致性和可接受的稳定性：结论：波斯语版 GNCS-P 在伊朗人群中具有可接受的心理测量特性，可作为护理质量评估、教育和护理研究领域的有效工具：对护理实践的启示：研究结果表明了该工具的有效性和可靠性，以及其作为护理质量评估有效工具的可用性。
