Abstract:
Objective To develop a scale to assess nursing scientific research ability and to test its reliability and validity in order to provide an operative tool to assess nursing scientific research ability objectively. Methods The primary items pool of the scale was built after searching the literature and expert interviewing. Delphi method was used to select 18 experts for two-round interviewing. The final scale was developed according to experts′suggestions to screen the items from the primary terms. A total of 285 nurses were enrolled in this study to measure the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The established scale included 5 factors ( thesis and subject, scientific research award/achievement, research practice ability, ability of profession and problems finding ) and 35 items. The cumulative percent variance ( CPV ) of the 5 factors was 61. 373%. The content validity index(CVI) at the item level was 0. 78-1. 00. The test-retestreliability of the scale was 0. 950. The accumulated Cronbach′s α coefficient was 0. 938. Conclusions The nursing scientific research ability scale we developed has fine reliability and validity. The scale is appropriate to assess nurses′ scientific researching ability.
