Abstract

Objective: To culturally adapt and assess the psychometric properties of the Hess Index of Professional Nursing Governance 3.0 (IPNG) among nurses in China.

Background: Shared governance is a structural professional practice model beneficial to both nurses and patients. The IPNG is a widely recognized tool for measuring professional nursing governance, but no psychometrically validated version currently exists for China.

Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a rigorous 5-stage adaptation process. A convenience sample of 1,023 Chinese nurses was recruited. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and other psychometric properties were assessed.

Results: The exploratory factor analysis revealed a new 6-factor structure for the Chinese version of the IPNG (C-IPNG), which differed from the original. This new model was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis with an acceptable fit. The C-IPNG demonstrated strong reliability, with a Cronbach α of 0.976, a scale-level CVI/Ave of 0.960, and a test-retest correlation coefficient of 0.856.

Conclusions: The C-IPNG is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing professional nursing governance in the Chinese context.

中国护士职业护理治理Hess指标的跨文化适应与验证。

目的：探讨中国护士对Hess专业护理治理指数3.0 （IPNG）的文化适应和心理测量特征。背景：共享治理是一种对护患双方都有利的结构性专业实践模式。IPNG是一种被广泛认可的衡量专业护理治理的工具，但目前中国还没有心理测量学验证的版本。方法：本横断面研究采用严格的5阶段适应过程。招募了1023名中国护士作为方便样本。评估探索性因子分析、验证性因子分析及其他心理测量特性。结果：探索性因子分析揭示了中国版IPNG （C-IPNG）不同于原版IPNG的6因子结构。验证性因子分析证实了该模型具有可接受的拟合性。C-IPNG具有较强的信度，Cronbach α为0.976，量表水平CVI/Ave为0.960，重测相关系数为0.856。结论：C-IPNG是一种可靠、有效的评估中国专业护理治理的工具。
