Abstract:
Objective:To develop the Nurse Managers Negative Leadership Behavior Scale and test its reliability and validity.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. The Nurse Managers Negative Leadership Behavior Scale item pool was formed through literature review and semi-structured interviews. A total of 28 nursing management experts from Hubei Province, Beijing, Guangdong Province and other places were selected for expert consultation to form the first draft of the scale. The scale was further revised through pre-experiment and item analysis. In May 2022, 300 nurses from the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology were selected by convenient sampling for a questionnaire survey to test the reliability and validity of the scale. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, and 265 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 88.33%. One week after the survey, 20 nurses were randomly selected to re-issue the questionnaire for the retest reliability test of the scale.Results:Totally, 19 experts completed two rounds of expert consultation, with expert authority coefficient of 0.880, Kendall harmony coefficient of 0.160 and 0.130 ( P<0.05) . Exploratory factor analysis extracted six factors, including neglect of needs, personal attack, right satisfaction, unpredictable behavior, slack work and improper supervision, and the cumulative variance interpretation rate was 75.125%. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fitted well and the factor structure was stable. The Nurse Managers Negative Leadership Behavior Scale included six dimensions and 36 items. The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.880, the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.895, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.876. The content validity index of the scale was 0.930, and the content validity index of each item was 0.800 to 1.000. Conclusions:The Nurse Managers Negative Leadership Behavior Scale has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the negative leadership behavior of head nurses in China.
