Abstract
Background and Purpose: Several studies have used an adapted measure of stress related to COVID-19, although the psychometric properties of the tool are unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of an adapted measure in nurses. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of 744 nurses using data from a longitudinal study conducted during COVID-19 from May 2020 to May 2022. Results: Exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with oblique rotation resulted in two correlated factors: personal risk and risk to others. The measure had acceptable internal consistency (α = .754 and α = .738 for factors 1 and 2, respectively) and demonstrated criterion validity between several indicators of mental health and well-being. Conclusions: The adapted measure was reliable and valid in nurses working during COVID-19.
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.
