Abstract:
Objective:To develop the Clinical Nurse Extra Task Load Scale and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the job demand-control model, a primary scale was formed through literature search and qualitative interviews, as well as Delphi consultation and pre-survey. In September 2023, 813 clinical nurses from First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University and Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected for reliability and validity testing. In October 2023, 1 050 clinical nurses from First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University and Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected for investigation, and the reliability and validity of the scale were tested.Results:The final Clinical Nurse Extra Task Load Scale included two dimensions and a total of 12 items. The item-level content validity index was 0.86 to 1.00, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.84. Exploratory factor analysis extracted two common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.55%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that χ 2/ df was 1.613, GFI was 0.928, CFI was 0.971, NFI was 0.928, IFI was 0.971, and RMSEA was 0.024. Cronbach's α coefficient of the work environment demand dimension was 0.897, Cronbach's α coefficient of individual behavior restriction was 0.955, Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.950, and the split-half reliability was 0.850. Conclusions:The Clinical Nurse Extra Task Load Scale developed has a good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate and quantify the extra task load for clinical nurses.
