Abstract:
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to develop and psychometrically test the nursing start-up attitude scale for student nurses.
Methods:The initial items were based on the second analysis of systematic review of previous studies and in-depth interview data with 9 nurse entrepreneurs. In total, 25 items were derived based on the pilot survey.Psychometric testing was conducted with 324 student nurses. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability test methods.
Results:Six factors, including 12 items explaining 74.4% of the total variance, were verified. The factors were opportunity of self actualization, network building, enhacing start-up competencies, outcomes of start-up, preparation for start-ups, and risk taking. Cronbach's ⍺ was .75.
Conclusion:As validity and reliability have been verified through various methods, the developed scale in this study can contribute to assessing student nurses’ attitudes to nursing start-ups.
