Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Military Health
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Assessing military nurse readiness is crucial for operational effectiveness.
  • Existing instruments may require updates to accurately reflect current demands.
  • The Readiness Instrument was previously developed but needed revision for Air Force nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise and validate the Readiness Instrument for active duty Air Force nurses.
  • To establish the reliability and validity of the new Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index Revised for Air Force Nurses (READI-R-AFN).
  • To confirm the instrument's factor structure and its alignment with stress resistance models.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of Reineck's Readiness Instrument.
  • Administration of the 83-item READI-R-AFN to 181 active duty Air Force nurses.

  • Evaluation using item analysis, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) via structural equation modeling (SEM), and hypothesis testing.
  • Assessment of findings in relation to Flannery's model of stress resistance.

    • Main Results:

    • The READI-R-AFN demonstrated strong internal consistency, with alpha coefficients ranging from 0.80 to 0.96.
    • Confirmatory factor analysis supported the hypothesized six-dimensional structure of the instrument.
    • Hypothesis testing provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the READI-R-AFN.
    • The instrument's results were consistent with Flannery's model of stress resistance.

    Conclusions:

    • The 83-item READI-R-AFN is a reliable and valid psychometric tool for assessing Air Force nurse readiness and deployability.
    • The instrument's six-factor structure is supported by empirical data.
    • The READI-R-AFN can be utilized to inform readiness assessments and support military nursing operations.
