The study is based on the protocol and content of the United States Nurses’ Health Study 3 (US NHS3), adapted to account for Korea’s cultural and hospital organizational characteristics [1,2]. The purpose of the KNHS is to examine the effects of environmental, occupational, and lifestyle risk factors on the health of women of reproductive age [1]. Nurses were chosen as participants for the KNHS because their advanced understanding of disease helps ensure the validity of responses, and their commitment to study participation can help improve the follow-up rate, both of which are crucial factors in cohort studies. The participants of KNHS are female nurses of reproductive age, ranging from 20 to 45 years old at the time of baseline data collection (the first survey). A total of 20,613 nurses from hospitals across Korea participated in the initial survey. Subsequent follow-up surveys have been conducted regularly to examine factors affecting women’s health and to track their progression into middle age. The first wave of the KNHS took place between 2013 and 2015, the second wave between 2016 and 2018, and the third wave between 2019 and 2021. The fourth wave began in 2022 and is currently in its second year. Starting with the fourth wave, the participant pool has been expanded to include nurses in their 20s. An online survey system was developed to administer the KNHS. Whenever a new survey is created, participants in the baseline data collection process are sent a text message encouraging them to participate in the follow-up surveys. The nurses voluntarily participate by using a link to the questionnaire homepage provided in the text message. The main variables included in the first wave of the KNHS were demographics, weight, height, health behaviors, illness, medication, family history, pregnancy, mood, employment, occupational exposure, and subjective perception of current health. Follow-up surveys introduced additional variables alongside the content from the first wave. To date, a total of 11 surveys have been developed and completed as part of the KNHS, and a 12th survey is currently under development. Moreover, since 2014, pregnant nurses have had the opportunity to answer separate survey questions focusing on early pregnancy and post-pregnancy [1].

An editorial in the most recent issue of Psychological Test Adoption and Development also recommended the weighted least square mean and variance-adjusted (WLSMV) method for CFA-based validity testing [2]. Using polychoric correlation for CFA involves applying CFA estimation methods to ordinal item variables. However, relatively few nursing studies have used this estimation method to test the construct validity of ordinal variables. As a general recommendation, the maximum likelihood (ML) method can be used for instruments with 5 to 7 item categories, as seen in the Likert scales commonly employed in nursing research [3]. The frequent application of strict cutoff rules for model fit indices to evaluate construct validity based on CFA estimation results may lead to an underestimation of the study instrument and modification of the CFA model by removing items or introducing connected item residual terms. Therefore, better assessment methods of the construct validity of Likert scales are needed, and alternative estimation methods are recommended to avoid incorrect parameter estimates, such as factor loading coefficients, standard errors, and model fit statistics [4]. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to explain the necessity of alternative estimation methods and to present how those methods can be applied using affordable, accessible, and appropriate structural equation modeling (SEM) programs.","PeriodicalId":30467,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10326553/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10182373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
