Abstract

Introduction

Stigmatization can negatively affect the relationship between the patient and health professional.

Aims

The aim of this study was to develop the Scale for Determining Nursing Students' Perceptions of Stigmatization.

Methods

The population of the study consisted of 403 nursing students. A literature review and qualitative interviews with 24 students were conducted to generate the initial items. Confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis were applied to examine the construct validity of the scale. The reliability of the scale was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient and item-total score correlation coefficients.

Results

After confirmatory factor analysis, the Scale for Determining Nursing Students' Perceptions of Stigmatization was finalized with 19 items and five sub-dimensions. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the goodness of fit values of the scale was determined as χ²/sd: 2.957; GFI: 0.902; AGFI: 0.869; IFI: 0.906; TLI: 0.937; CFI: 0.905; RMSEA: 0.070; SRMR: 0.063. The reliability of the scale over time was evaluated with the test-retest method, and it was found that the agreement between the responses was very good (ICC: 0.980; p < 0.001). The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was 0.824.

Conclusions

It was determined that the Scale for Determining Nursing Students' Perceptions of Stigmatization is a short, easy-to-understand, and psychometrically sound measurement tool that can be safely applied to nursing students. Nursing students' perceptions of stigmatization can be determined using this scale. The nursing education curriculum can be restructured in line with the findings obtained.

确定护理专业学生对污名化看法的量表的有效性和可靠性

导言：污名化会对患者与医疗专业人员之间的关系产生负面影响。研究目的：本研究旨在开发 "护理专业学生对污名化的认知量表"。研究方法：研究对象包括 403 名护理专业学生。通过文献综述和对 24 名学生的定性访谈产生了初始项目。研究采用了确认性因子分析和探索性因子分析来检验量表的建构效度。结果经过确认性因素分析，最终确定了护理专业学生对污名化认知的量表，包括 19 个项目和 5 个子维度。在确认性因素分析中，量表的拟合优度分别为：χ2/sd: 2.957; GFI：0.902；AGFI：0.869；IFI：0.906; TLI: 0.937; CFI：0.905；RMSEA：0.070；SRMR：0.063。采用重测法评估了量表在一段时间内的信度，结果发现各应答之间的一致性非常好（ICC：0.980；p <；0.001）。结论护理专业学生对污名化的认知量表是一种简短、易懂且符合心理测量学原理的测量工具，可以安全地应用于护理专业学生。使用该量表可以确定护理专业学生对污名化的看法。护理教育课程可根据所得结果进行调整。
