Abstract:
Objective To translate the nursing time management scale(NTMS)into Chinese and test its reliability and validity,hence to provide a tool for evaluating the time management among nurses in China.Methods Authorised by the author on June 30th,2023,the English version of NTMS was translated into a Chinese version through forward translation,reverse translation,cross-cultural debugging and pre-test by using Brislin translation model.Between September 2023 and January 2024,a convenience sampling method was employed to select a total of 409 nurses as the test subjects from five hospitals of Grade IIA and above in Dongguan.Then the reliability and validity of the translated version of NTMS were tested.Results All 409 nurses completed the tests.The Chinese version of NTMS included three dimensions comprising 15 items:6 in nursing work planning and goal setting,3 in organisation of nursing work and 6 in coordination of nursing work.It was found that the mean scale content validity index(S-CVI/Ave)was 0.920,and the item-level CVI(I-CVI)ranged from 0.840 to 1.000.The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.894,with 0.700 for the split-half reliability coefficient of and 0.942 for the retest reliability.The Cronbach's α coefficient of each of the 3 dimensions ranged from 0.781 to 0.901,with the split-half reliability coefficient from 0.823 to 0.870 and the retest reliability from 0.692 to 0.965.In the exploratory factor analysis,the KMO value was 0.904.The statistic test of Bartlett's sphericity was 3941.503(P<0.05),with the factor load range of each entry from 0.629 to 0.838.The cumulative variance contribution rate was 67.672%.Conclusion The translated Chinese version of the nursing time management scale demonstrates good reliability and validity.It can be applied as an effective evaluation tool in the nursing time management.
