Abstract:
Objective:To sinicize the Gerontological Nurse Teacher Scale (GeNTS) and to test reliability and validity of the Chinese version, so as to provide a scientific measuring tool for the ability assessment of geriatric nursing teachers in China.Methods:The scale was translated according to the Brislin model and revised to form the Chinese version. The Chinese version of the GeNTS was used to facilitate the sampling of 375 nursing students from Sichuan Vocational College of Health and Rehabilitation, Neijiang Health Vocational College, and Sichuan Nursing Vocational College from June to August, 2023. SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze the data, and the critical ratio method, homogeneity test, Cronbach α coefficient method were used for item analysis, expert content validity index was used for content validity, exploratory factor method was used for structural validity test, internal consistency reliability, folding reliability, and re-test reliability were used for reliability test, and AMOS 28.0 was used for validation factor analysis.Results:The Chinese version of the GeNTS had 30 entries, and five common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, with a cumulative of 82.462%. Validated factor analysis showed that the χ2/ df = 2.501, root mean square error of qpproximation (RMSEA) = 0.051, stamdardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.043, incremental fit index (IFI) = 0.968, and normed-fit index (NFI) = 0.956, all of which were in the acceptable range, and the content validity of the Chinese version of the GeNTS was 0.837, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.977, a folded half reliability of 0.924, and a retest reliability of 0.924. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the Gerontological Nurse Teacher Scale has good reliability and validity. It is usefull to assess the situation of elderly nursing teachers in stimulating students′career interest in China.
