Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the validity and reliability of learning attitude scale among nurses in continuing nursing education in hospital.Methods We designed a nurse learning attitude scale in continuing education on the basis of a learning attitude questionnaire for teacher-training by Jiao Weiting. In July 2015, totally 207 nurses of the Third Hospital of Mianyang who received continuing education in hospital were selected as the research object by cluster sampling method. We investigated their learning attitudes. The reliability of the scale was assessed by Cronbach's α coefficient and test-retest reliability. The validity was assessed by factor analysis and Pearson's correlation.Results The test-retest reliability of the scale were as the following:cogni-tive level (0.82),experience of emotion (0.89),tendency of behavior (0.91),total scale (0.88);Cronbach's α co-efficients were as the following:cognitive level (0.85),experience of emotion (0.94),tendency of behavior (0.83), total scale (0.89). According to the result of Pearson's correlation,the total scale of learning attitude exhibited a positive correlation with cognitive level,experience of emotion and tendency of behavior (P<0.01). Four prin-cipal components were extracted by factor analysis and the constructs of the instrument obtained were consistent with the conceived concept in essence.Conclusions The scale learning attitude could measure the learning attitude of nurses in continuing nursing education with better reliability and validity.
