Validating Factors That Influence Student Nurse Intention Regarding Perioperative Nursing
1Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing: A Consortium of McMurry University & Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene, Texas chaluzakgm@gmail.com.
Background:
Failure to effectively recruit Newly Graduated Nurses (NGN) to perioperative nursing in the face of an anticipated nursing shortage will adversely impact patient outcomes. Development of interventions that address the recruitment problem is hampered by lack of a comprehensive understanding of factors that influence Student Nurse Intention (SNI) regarding perioperative nursing.
Purpose:
This descriptive quantitative study aims to test a Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) questionnaire and validate factors that influence SNI.
Method:
Quantitative sequence of exploratory sequential design. Item analysis, and principal component analysis of data are completed.
Results:
The instrument demonstrated satisfactory psychometrics. Immediate exposure or immersion, affirmation by nurse managers, and availability of positions were the most influential attitudinal, normative, and control beliefs respectively. Generational values have some influence on intention to choose perioperative nursing.
Conclusion:
A TPB questionnaire is useful for measuring factors that influence SNI.
