Psychometric testing of the Persian version of the Nursing Care Quality Scale: A methodological study

Abstract

AbstractAimTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Cambodian Nursing Care Quality Scale.DesignMethodological design.MethodsThis study was carried out in several steps: a forward‐backward translation was done, face and construct validity was measured using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and the reliability was evaluated. A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 350 nurses from May 2021 to March 2022.ResultsThe exploratory factor analysis extracted six factors that explained 60.76% of the total variance. The six‐factor model is supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha and the intra‐class correlation coefficient were 0.94 and 0.85, respectively.Patient or Public ContributionEvaluation of the quality of care can lead to the enhancement of the quality of nursing services and patient safety. This will subsequently increase the patients' and community satisfaction.
