The current study investigated the factor structure of the social influence scale for midwifery (SIS-M), a recently developed measure of conformity designed specifically for use within midwifery practice. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that a four-factor model of conformity, comprising distinct dimensions of conformity, client control, personal control and non-conformity offered an excellent fit to the data. It is concluded that, though the SIS-M was developed as a unitary measure of conformity, there is also compelling evidence that the SIS-M could be developed as a multi-dimensional measure of distinct, but related, conformity dimensions. The SIS-M therefore offers considerable potential as a research tool to gain novel insights into the conformity behaviour of midwives in the practice environment and the relationship of such behaviour to maternal and neonatal outcomes.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":87580,"journal":{"name":"Clinical effectiveness in nursing","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 118-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.cein.2004.09.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92018742","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}
