TL;DR
The Turkish version of the FtAIS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing fear of AI among nursing students and demonstrates acceptable content and construct validity and good internal consistency.
The K-MAIRS can be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing artificial intelligence readiness among Korean nursing students and supports global initiatives to incorporate artificial intelligence competencies into nursing education using culturally tailored assessment tools.
Initial evidence is provided that the NAIRS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing nursing students' readiness for artificial intelligence across knowledge/awareness, willingness to use AI, self-efficacy, and ethical awareness domains and may be useful for educational needs assessment and curriculum planning in nursing education.
Aim: This study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Nursing Practice Readiness Scale (NPRS).Design: The present research was designed as a methodological study. Data collection was carried out between February and May 2023, from a total of 225 participants, including 85 newly graduated nurses and 140 fourth-year nursing students.Methods: During the cultural adaptation process of the scale, forward translation was performed by three independent translators, the Turkish version was developed based on expert opinions, language equivalence was evaluated through back-translation, and a pilot study was conducted. Data were collected using a Descriptive Information Form, the NPRS, and the Work Readiness Scale for Graduate Nurses (WRS-GN). The scale’s language, content, and construct validity were assessed, while reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, item-total score correlations, and parallel-form reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis.Results: The content validity index of the scale was found to be 0.90. Items 33 and 35 were excluded due to low factor loading (0.579) and high residual covariance (5.775), respectively. After item removal, confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable model fit. The overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.96, and item-total correlation coefficients ranged from 0.56 to 0.77. A statistically significant positive relationship was observed between NPRS and WRS-GN scores (r=0.739;p<0.001).Conclusions: The findings indicate that the 33-item Turkish version of the NPRS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the readiness of newly graduated nurses for clinical practice.
ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the internal structure validity of the Brazilian version of the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey among nursing students. Methods: a psychometric study was conducted with 402 final-year nursing students from 17 universities. Measurement properties were tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Item Response Theory, combined with cross-validation. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha and McDonald’s Omega indicators. Data analysis was performed using IBM® SPSS Statistics 20.0 and Factor® software. Results: the unidimensional 16-item model explained 60.76% of the variance in clinical practice and 55.25% in classroom settings. Factor loadings, communalities, and item discrimination were adequate, with stability and replicability maintained in cross-validation. Conclusions: the Brazilian version of the instrument demonstrated evidence of internal structure validity among nursing students, contributing to the identification of gaps in patient safety education.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Clinical Practicum Transition Shock Scale (CPT-Shock) for nursing students. Material and Methods: This methodological study was conducted with undergraduate nursing students between January 20 and February 20, 2025. Data were collected online through a Descriptive Information Form and the 19-item CPT-Shock. Linguistic equivalence was achieved by the translation–back translation process, and content validity was evaluated using the Davis technique and Content Validity Index (CVI). Construct validity was tested with the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) value, Bartlett’s test of sphericity, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Reliability was analyzed through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, split-half reliability, and item–total correlations. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. Results: The participants’ mean age was 21.81 ± 1.20 years, and 88.9% were female. The CVI value was 1.00. The data were suitable for factor analysis (KMO = 0.834; Bartlett’s χ² = 1970.949, p < 0.001). CFA confirmed the original six-factor structure (CMIN/DF = 2.103; RMSEA = 0.060; GFI = 0.902; SRMR = 0.072). The scale showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.852) and high split-half reliability (Spearman–Brown = 0.913; Guttman = 0.911). Conclusions: The Turkish version of the CPT-Shock is a valid and reliable tool for measuring transition shock among nursing students. Implication for nursing practice: The scale may support early identification of students’ adaptation needs and guide improvements in clinical education practices.
