Abstract:

Objective To translate the Nursing Professional Practice scale into Chinese and to test its reliability and validity. Methods The Chinese version was obtained by back translation method,and was reviewed and culturally adjusted by a panel of 6 experts. A total of 674 nurses were recruited and were investigated by the Chinese version scale. The reliability and validity of the scale was analyzed. Results The range of I-CVI was from 0.667 to 1 and the S-CVI was 0.964. The exploratory factor analysis showed that three common factors were extracted,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.103%. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fitting indicators reached the standard level. The test-retest reliability was 0.737. The internal consistency reliability coefficients were 0.981 for total scale,0.939,0.956 and 0.965 for the 3 factors respectively. Conclusion The Chinese version of the Nursing Professional Practice has good reliability and validity,and can be used as a tool to assess the professional level of nursing practice in nurses.
