Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Behavior Scale developed by Liao et al (K-NNCBS).
Methods:Data were collected through an online survey, of 258 nurses working in general or tertiary hospitals. We translated the NNCBS into Korean and evaluated it through content validity, criterion validity, reliability, and confirmatory factor analyses.
Results:The factor loading of the 23 items belonging to the four domains ranged from .40 to -.87. The confirmatory factor analysis supported a good model fit (χ2 =578.56, p<.001, CFI=.83, RMSEA=.08, SRMR=.07). Regarding criterion validity, the K-NNCBS was positively correlated with communication competence (r=.54) and negatively correlated with task conflict (r=-.22) and relationship conflict (r=-.29). Cronbach's ⍺ for K-NNCBS rated on a five-point Likert scale was .90.
Conclusion:These findings show that the K-NNCBS is valid and reliable. This scale can be used to measure the collaboration behaviors among nurses in Korea.
