Objective To develop a questionnaire for factors influencing the quality of nursing interns.Methods The factors influencing the quality of nursing interns were formulated through literature review,interview and expert consultation.The pre-questionnaire was developed after modification.Exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis were used to examine the reliability and validity of this questionnaire.Results Six common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis.Factor loading ranged from 0.487 to 0.889 for each item.The Cronbach α of the total scale was 0.814,and that of subscales ranged from 0.802 to 0.863.Retest-reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.863,and that of subscales ranged from 0.794 to 0.931.Conclusions The self-designed questionnaire for factors influencing the quality of nursing interns has good reliability and validity,and can be used to measure the influencing factors for nursing interns.
