Aim:
To develop the nursing practice environment scale in home health care (NPES-HHC), which measures the attractiveness of nursing practice environments in Japan.
Design:
Cross-sectional study.
Methods:
The answers of 1,050 mail surveys conducted for nurses at 421 home-visit nursing agencies in Japan were analysed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the NPES-HHC's candidate items were performed. Relationships between the newly developed NPES-HHC and participants' intention to remain at the workplace, job satisfaction and quality of care were also tested.
Results:
A seven-dimensional model with 37 items was obtained by exploratory factor analysis (Cronbach's alpha: 0.77-0.92). Confirmatory factor analysis supported this model. NPES-HHC scores had significant positive relations with participants' intention to remain at the workplace, job satisfaction and quality of care (p < .01). The NPES-HHC is a reliable and valid instrument to assess the attractiveness of the practice environment for home-visit nursing agencies.
