Abstract

Background: Biological hazards are one of the most common threats that operating room personnel face. The present study was conducted to develop and test the psychometric properties of a scale for measuring operating room nurses' exposure to biological hazards.

Methods: This study is a methodological research that was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, a pool of items was developed after an extensive literature review. In the second stage, the scale's validity and reliability were tested. The validity of the scale was assessed in terms of face validity, content validity, and construct validity. To determine the scale's reliability, the researchers evaluated internal consistency and stability.

Results: The initial version of the exposure to biological hazards scale consisted of 75 items. After assessing face validity, 16 items were eliminated, and one item was added following an evaluation of content validity. In evaluation the construct validity of the scale, three factors were identified that accounted for 66.61% of the variance. The internal consistency of the scale was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.88. Additionally, the split-half correlation coefficient was found to be 0.92, and an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.96 confirmed the stability of the scale.

Conclusion: The results of the study show that the developed scale has satisfactory reliability and validity. Nursing managers can use it to assess operating room nurses' exposure to biological hazards in the workplace.

手术室护士生物危害暴露评价量表的编制及心理测量学评价。
背景:生物危害是手术室人员面临的最常见威胁之一。本研究旨在开发并检验一套手术室护士生物危害暴露量表的心理测量特性。方法:本研究为方法学研究,分两个阶段进行。在第一阶段,在广泛的文献回顾之后,开发了一个项目池。第二阶段对量表的效度和信度进行检验。量表的效度从面效度、内容效度和构念效度三个方面进行评估。为了确定量表的可靠性,研究人员评估了内部一致性和稳定性。结果:初版生物危害暴露量表包括75个条目。在评估面部效度后,剔除16项,在评估内容效度后增加1项。在评估量表的构念效度时,发现三个因素占方差的66.61%。量表的内部一致性经Cronbach's alpha为0.88证实。此外,分半相关系数为0.92,类内相关系数(ICC)为0.96,证实了量表的稳定性。结论:研究结果表明,所编制的量表具有满意的信效度。护理管理人员可以使用它来评估手术室护士在工作场所暴露于生物危害的情况。
