Abstract

Objective: Nursing students' ethical sensitivity is crucial for providing high-quality patient care. Assessing this sensitivity using standardized tools is essential for both students and professional nurses. This study aimed to determine the properties of cultural adaptation and the psychometric evaluation of the Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire for Nursing Students (ESQ-NS).

Results: This methodological study, conducted between April and November 2023, involved 480 nursing students who were selected through convenience sampling. The ESQ-NS was translated into Persian following the method described by Wild et al. (2005). The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 27) and LISREL (version 8.8) software. The EFA and CFA validated a three-factor, 13-item structure for the assessment tool. The Pearson correlation coefficient demonstrated a positive and significant correlation between the items and their respective subscales of the overall scale. The reliability of the Persian version of the ESQ-NS was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.781, a MacDonald's Omega coefficient of 0.78, and an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of 0.78 (CI: 0.743- 0.816). The Persian version of the ESQ-NS demonstrates acceptable reliability and validity, making it a suitable tool for evaluating the ethical sensitivity of nursing students in Iran.

护生伦理敏感性问卷：波斯语版本的心理测量特性。

目的：护生的伦理敏感性对提供高质量的患者护理至关重要。使用标准化工具评估这种敏感性对学生和专业护士都是至关重要的。本研究旨在探讨护生伦理敏感性问卷（ESQ-NS）的文化适应特征及心理测量学评价。结果：本方法学研究于2023年4月至11月进行，采用方便抽样法抽取480名护理专业学生。ESQ-NS按照Wild等人（2005）描述的方法翻译成波斯语。采用SPSS （version 27）和LISREL （version 8.8）软件对数据进行分析。EFA和CFA验证了评估工具的三因素、13项结构。Pearson相关系数显示，各条目与总量表各子量表之间存在显著正相关。波斯语版ESQ-NS的可靠性得到了证实，Cronbach's alpha为0.781,MacDonald's Omega系数为0.78，类内相关系数（ICC）为0.78 （CI: 0.743 ~ 0.816）。波斯语版本的ESQ-NS显示出可接受的可靠性和有效性，使其成为评估伊朗护理专业学生道德敏感性的合适工具。
