Abstract:
Objective:To develop a Nurses' Self-Care Scale so as to provide an effective and reliable tool for evaluating Nurses' Self-Care Scale ability.Methods:A draft of the scale was developed through literature review, expert consultation and small sample pre-experiment. By convenience sampling method, a total of 364 nurses from 3 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Beijing from April to June 2019 were selected for questionnaire survey. The scale was revised and its reliability and validity were evaluated.Results:A total of 5 dimensions and 36 items were finally contained in the Nurses' Self-Care Scale. A total of 5 common factors were generated by exploratory factor analysis, namely the generation of self-care consciousness, the mastery of self-care knowledge, the implementation of healthy lifestyle, the satisfaction of inner self and the acceptance of professional self, and the contribution rate of cumulative variance was 72.523%. The r value of Pearson linear correlation analysis among the scores in 5 dimensions was from 0.497 to 0.836 ( P<0.05) , and the r value of the scores in each dimension and the total score of the scale was from 0.705 to 0.934 ( P<0.05) . The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.977, and the Cronbach's α coefficient of the five dimensions was from 0.890 to 0.975. Conclusions:The Nurses' Self-Care Scale has good reliability and validity, which can be used as a tool to evaluate the level of nurses' self-care.
