Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Faculty incivility is a growing problem in nursing schools that disrupts the learning process and affects nursing care of patients. Fostering and managing faculty incivility requires knowing this problem using a valid and reliable instrument. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire in the Iranian community.
Methods
In this methodological study, the participants involved were 357 nursing students. They were selected between October and December 2019. The faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire was evaluated in terms of content and construct validity. McDonald’s omega and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were calculated. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to evaluate the construct validity of the questionnaire.
Results
The content validity index (CVI) was 0.86–0.91 for the items and 0.87 for the whole instrument. In factor analysis, two factors of violent and irresponsible behaviors were extracted. These factors explained >41.769% of the variance. Model fit indices (Parsimonious Comparative Fit Index [PCFI] = 0.783, Parsimonious Normed Fit Index [PNFI] = 0.756, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.051, Goodness-of-Fit Index [GFI] = 0.955, Adjusted Goodness-of-Fit Index [AGFI] = 0.932, Comparative Fit Index [CFI] = 0.955, χ2/df = 2.26) indicated the proportion of factors. Internal consistency was 0.87–0.93.
Conclusions
Faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool with two factors that can be used to evaluate the incivility in Iranian faculty members.
