Abstract:
Objective:To translate Organizational Silence Behavior Scale (OSBS) for healthcare professionals into Chinese and to test the reliability and validity.Methods:The OSBS for healthcare professionals was translated and back-translated according to the Brislin translation mode and then the Chinese version of OSBS for healthcare professionals was developed. The items on the scale were screened and optimized through expert consultation and pre-survey. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 550 nurses from 3 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Zhengzhou were selected from April 2019 to October 2020 to conduct a survey to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale. A total of 550 questionnaires were issued and 520 valid questionnaires were returned. The effective response rate was 94.5% (520/550) .Results:The content validity index of the Chinese version of the OSBS for healthcare professionals was 0.930, and the content validity index of the item level was from 0.860 to 1.000. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 63.61%. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the ratio of chi-square to degrees of freedom (χ 2/ df) was 1.087, the root mean square residual ( RMR) was 0.035, the root mean square error approximation ( RMSEA) was 0.021, adjust goodness-of-fit index ( AGFI) was 0.990, goodness-of-fit index ( GFI) was 0.887 and incremental fit index ( IFI) was 0.990. The Cronbach 's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.893, and the Cronbach 's α coefficient of each dimension was 0.839 to 0.944. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.974, and the test-retest reliability coefficient of each dimension was 0.818 to 0.881. Conclusions:The Chinese version of OSBS for healthcare professionals has good reliability and validity, which can be used as a tool to evaluate the silent behavior of nursing staff in China.
