It is particularly important during the school years. This study investigates the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Executive Functions Assessment Questionnaire (EFAQ) for school-aged children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 on 400 school-aged children in Tehran, Iran, using a convenience sampling method. Following the translation of the questionnaire according to the protocol of the World Health Organization, forward and backward translation techniques into Persian, and its psychometric properties were evaluated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, as well as construct validity assessments. Reliability was assessed using coefficient alpha, McDonald's omega, composite reliability, and test-retest methods. Results: The results of the exploratory factor analysis revealed five factors: dependence on assistance, initiative and problem-solving skills, controlling sadness and anger, neatness and organization, and ultimately, social behavior challenges, which generally accounted for 40.607% of the total variance of the construct. Additionally, the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the proposed model exhibits a satisfactory fit index (comparative fit index = 0.912, incremental fit index = 0.913, goodness-of-fit index = 0.927). The extracted factors demonstrated adequate convergent and discriminant validity, and ultimately, the reliability of the EFAQ was acceptable (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.7). Conclusions: The Persian version of the EFAQ for school-aged children exhibits favorable psychometric properties and can be utilized as a valid and reliable questionnaire for assessing children's executive functions in educational and research settings.","PeriodicalId":16585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing measurement","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: In this study, a literature review was conducted to prepare 40 questions, which were then presented to 14 infection control experts (physicians and nurses) for their feedback. The prepared data form was administered to a total of 458 volunteers and health care workers providing direct care to patients across seven regions in Turkey. Results: The average value of the Hand Hygiene Compliance and Proficiency Scale was found to be 0.88. The Cronbach's alpha value, used to assess the internal consistency of the scale, was calculated to be 0.929. Additionally, the internal consistency of the scale was determined using the Spearman-Brown coefficient (0.787) and the Guttman Split-Half coefficient (0.786). The first sub-dimension of the scale, named \"Institutional Structure and Educational Activities,\" explained 16.449% of the total variance. The second sub-dimension, named \"Hand Antiseptics and Their Use,\" explained 11.093% of the total variance. The third sub-dimension, named \"Hand Hygiene Awareness and Practice,\" explained 19.542% of the total variance. Conclusion: The Hand Hygiene Compliance and Proficiency Scale in health care services was a reliable measurement tool that could be used to assess the current state of hand hygiene practices in healthcare institutions, identify areas that needed improvement, and evaluate the knowledge level and compliance of health care workers.","PeriodicalId":16585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing measurement","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144018981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This is a methodologically designed study. The data were collected from 481 nurses working at a university hospital in northern Turkey. The data collection tools included the Personal Information Form and the Mindfulness in Nursing Care Scale. The data were analyzed by performing the content validity analysis, factor analysis, and reliability analysis. The t test was used in dependent groups to test reliability against time. Results: The study revealed that the Mindfulness in Nursing Care Scale consists of 16 items under one factor. The factor loadings of the items were found to range from .453 to 0.684 in the exploratory factor analysis. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the fit index values were found to be within acceptable limits.

Conclusions: The Mindfulness in Nursing Care Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that makes consistent measurements over time. This scale is anticipated to contribute to nurses' better understanding of themselves and the individuals they provide care for.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine if the DCSS is consistent with its underlying five-factor model (Impact of Work Environment on Organizational Performance) and evaluate its validity in a long-term care nurse sample. Methods: A national United States sample of long-term care nurses completed the DCSS. SPSS Amos was used to perform a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: CFA found modest support for a five-factor structure for the Impact of Work Environment on Organizational Performance model, whereas χ2/df exceeded the commonly accepted criteria (χ2/df = 2.47, <3), fit indices that accounted for model complexity did not (comparative fit index = 0.70, not >0.8; Tucker-Lewis index = 0.67, not ≥ 0.95; root-mean-square error of approximation = .08, not <.08). Further analyses indicated that some items may benefit from revision. Conclusion: The CFA provided modest support for the currently accepted five-factor structure of the DCSS. This study suggests that there is still a need to revise the DCSS questionnaire to address the directionality of the relationship between the factors. This revision could facilitate the use of the DCSS to understand and guide improvements in long-term care nurses' work environments and is vital for enhancing staff well-being and patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":16585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing measurement","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144012266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
