Abstract:
Objective To translate and evaluate the reliability and validity of Chinese version of Nursing Student Self-Efficacy Scale.Methods A total of 212 nursing students in practice were recruited and completed the questionnaire survey including Chinese version of Nursing Student Self-Efficacy Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale.Results The fitness of confirmatory factor analysis neither in intersectant model nor in orthogonal model were not good.Chinese revised version of Nursing Student Self-Efficacy Scale was formed based on the exploratory factor analysis.The three factors could explain 67.7％ variance of self-efficacy and the loading of all items was above 0.6.The correlation coefficient between the total score and three factors of revised NSSES and GSES was 0.570,0.427,0.582,and 0.480 respectively.The fitness of revised NSSES confirmatory factor of intersectant model,orthogonal model,and modified intersectant model were also not satisfying.Conclusions Although the reliability and the criterion-related validity of revised Chinese version of Nursing Student Self-Efficacy Scale were satisfying,the construct validity was not good and the further revision concerning on the task description and item response grade was required before applying for the internal measurement.
