Abstract
Background and Purpose: Violence against nursing students in the clinical field has a great impact on learning. In Chile, there is no validated instrument to measure the violence perceived by nursing students during their training. The reliability of a Perceived Violence Scale for nursing students in clinical practice was validated and analyzed. Methods: This instrumental research designed the scale and subjected it to prima facie validation with 5 experts and content validation with 42 expert judges. A pilot test was conducted with 100 students, and reliability was assessed by using the ordinal alpha coefficient. Results: The scale demonstrated high item relevance and clarity (Aiken's V >0.75, LI >0.70) and outstanding internal consistency (ordinal alpha of .959; 95% confidence interval [0.947, 0.970]). Conclusions: The rigorous validation process confirms the instrument's efficacy to measure perceived violence in clinical nursing practices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nursing Measurement specifically addresses instrumentation in nursing. It serves as a prime forum for disseminating information on instruments, tools, approaches, and procedures developed or utilized for measuring variables in nursing research, practice, and education. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence for the reliability and validity or sensitivity and specificity of such instruments. The journal includes innovative discussions of theories, principles, practices, and issues relevant to nursing measurement.
