Abstract
Background
There are many studies about awareness, but few studies are specifically focused on the nurses’ self-awareness. Study shows nurse self-awareness helps nurses and patients. The Self-awareness in Nursing Scale is a brief measurement tool used to assess the self-awareness of clinical nurses.
Methods
This study investigated 549 clinical nurses in Liaoning Province, China. Our study used two methods of construct validity to analyze the factor structure of the Chinese version of this scale. Two weeks later, the 40 relevant hospital nurses previously labeled were measured for test-retest reliability.
Results
The Chinese version of the self-awareness in Nursing scale reserved 17 items, and the results differed from the original scale in that its Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) supported a three-factor structure, and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results indicated a good model fit. The overall Cronbach’s coefficient for this scale was 0.869, and the reliability of the retest was 0.804.
Conclusions
The Chinese version of the self-awareness in Nursing scale exhibited suitable psychometric characteristic and it can be used to measure the Chinese nurses’ level of self-awareness.
