Psychometric properties of The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory among nursing students.

ABSTRACT: The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory is an instrument which assesses the risk and protective factors behind resilience. However, there is no valid or reliable Persian instrument for measuring resilience amongst nursing students in Iran. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory among nursing students. This methodological study was done in 2017. The participants were 200 nursing students who were randomly recruited from Neyshabur city. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was also assessed through the internal consistency assessment method. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a three-factor structure for the Inventory which accounted for 48.21% of its total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the first-order model. The internal consistency values of the Inventory and its domains were good, confirming its great internal consistency and reliability. The Persian version of the Baruth Protective Factors Inventory was found to have acceptable validity and reliability to assess resilience amongst nursing students. Therefore, the Persian version of The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory can help nursing authorities identify non-resilient students, promote their resilience, and thereby improve their academic and clinical performance. Nursing students' improved performance can positively affect both the quality of care and patient outcomes.

Project description:IntroductionResilience has been proposed as a suitable solution to better deal with nursing students in cases of challenges but the complex and multidimensional nature of resilience has made its measurement challenging. This study aimed to develop and validate a new inventory theory-driven labeled Nursing Student Academic Resilience Inventory.MethodsThis study was performed with an exploratory sequential mixed-method design. In the qualitative phase of the study, individual interviews were conducted by including 15 participants to elicit the concept of resilience through purposive sampling. In the quantitative phase, psychometric analysis of the extracted items was performed using face, content, and construct validities (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses) on a sample size of 405 nursing students. Besides, reliability has been tested using internal consistency and test-retest methods. According to the COSMIN standards, beside two important indicators of validity and reliability, responsiveness and interpretability were also considered.ResultsA 6-factor structure (optimism, communication, self-esteem/evaluation, self-awareness, trustworthiness, and self-regulation) with 24 items were extracted in terms of the derived categories from the qualitative phase. In confirmatory factor analysis, the χ2/df ratio was calculated as 2.11 for the NSARI six-factor structure. Suitable values were obtained for the goodness of fit indices (CFI = 0.904, AGFI = 0.885, IFI = 0.906, PCFI = 0.767, and RMSEA = 0.053). In the second-order factor analysis, AVE = 0.70 indicated the existence of both convergent and divergent validities. The Cronbach's alpha and omega coefficients were investigated as (0.66-0.78) and (0.66-0.80), respectively. The AIC was between 0.33 and 0.45 for all factors, which is an acceptable rate. Additionally, an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was obtained as .903 for the whole instrument (CI .846- .946, P <0.0001).ConclusionMultidimensional nature of resilience was supported through exploring its 6-factor structures in the nursing students' field. This tool also showed an acceptable validity and reliability for measuring resilience in the population of nursing students.

Project description:BackgroundUniversities are in charge of training, educating, and preparing students for their future. Teaching and learning methods have a profound role in fulfilling this responsibility by universities. Examining teaching-learning experiences needs a proper tool to collect the information needed. The aim of this study was to collect validity evidence of the modified experiences of teaching-learning questionnaire (ETLQ) in Iranian nursing students.MethodsThe validation process was started by securing the required permissions from the designer of the tool. Then the tool was translated into Farsi using forward-backward method. After preparing a Farsi version of the tool, the content, response process, and internal structure assessment were checked and supported using qualified methods. To examine internal structure, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted for three sections of the scale with the participation of 278 nursing students. To examine the reliability of the tool, test-retest method was used and internal correlation was examined using Cronbach's alpha.ResultsThe EFA and CFA results confirmed the tool with three domains, seven factors and 33 items. The R2-index of the model was obtained equal to 0.99, which indicates that 99% of the changes in teaching-learning experiences are explained by the tool (33 items). The main indices in CFA were higher than 0.9, which indicates the goodness of fit of the model. Pearson correlation between the items and the subscales was significantly and directly related to the whole scale. Moreover, with Cronbach's alpha equal to 0.944 and test-retest result equal to 0.88, reliability of the Farsi version of modified ETLQ was supported.ConclusionThe results showed that the Farsi version of modified ETLQ had acceptable and applied indices to measure teaching-learning experiences in nursing students. The tool can be used as a valid tool in different fields of education in medical sciences.
