Abstract

Background

Since nursing students' interactions with nurses in the clinical practice process play an important role in nursing education and practice, it is a necessity to evaluate nurses' attitudes towards students.

Aim

To develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the attitudes of nurses' towards nursing students in the clinical practice process.

Design

This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design.

Settings

The study was conducted in a public hospital in Turkey between February and April 2024.

Participants

The sample of the study consisted of 364 nurses.

Methods

Through literature review and qualitative data analysis, 40 items were identified for the item pool of the scale and these items were presented to 22 experts. After the content validity, the draft scale consisting of 32 items was used as a data collection tool. Lawshe's Content Validity Ratio, Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin Coefficient, Bartlett's test, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Principal Component Analysis, Varimax Factor Rotation Method, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's Alpha Internal Consistency Coefficient, Spearman Correlation Coefficient and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests were used to analyze the data.

Results

As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that there were twenty-two items and five sub-dimensions in the scale. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.770 for the clinical experience and ethics sub-dimension, 0.811 for the collaboration sub-dimension, 0.792 for the desire to learn sub-dimension, 0.765 for the continuous development sub-dimension, 0.736 for the communication skills sub-dimension and 0.903 for the total scale. As a result of the test-retest reliability analysis, it was determined that all items and factor scores showed significant relationships between the two applications (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

The scale was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the attitudes of nurses' towards nursing students in the clinical practice process.

开发一种工具来测量护士在临床实践中对护理学生的态度：定量研究

背景由于护生在临床实践过程中与护士的互动在护理教育和实践中发挥着重要作用，因此有必要评估护士对护生的态度。目的开发一种有效可靠的测量工具，以确定护士在临床实践过程中对护生的态度。方法通过文献回顾和定性数据分析，确定了量表项目库的 40 个项目，并将这些项目提交给 22 位专家。经过内容效度验证后，由 32 个项目组成的量表草案被用作数据收集工具。数据分析采用了 Lawshe 内容效度比、Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin 系数、Bartlett 检验、探索性因素分析、主成分分析、Varimax 因子旋转法、确认性因素分析、Cronbach's Alpha 内部一致性系数、Spearman 相关系数和 Wilcoxon Signed Ranks 检验。临床经验和职业道德子维度的 Cronbach's alpha 内部一致性系数为 0.770，协作子维度为 0.811，学习欲望子维度为 0.792，持续发展子维度为 0.765，沟通技巧子维度为 0.736，总量表为 0.903。结论该量表是一种有效、可靠的测量工具，可用于确定护士在临床实践过程中对护生的态度。
