Summary
A new scale effectively measures nursing students
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Clinical Practice
- Attitude Measurement
Background:
- Nurses significantly influence nursing students' clinical experiences and skill development.
- Assessing nursing students' attitudes toward nurses is crucial for cultivating competent healthcare professionals.
- Positive student-nurse relationships foster effective learning environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a reliable measurement tool for assessing nursing students' attitudes toward nurses during clinical practice.
- To provide a standardized instrument for evaluating student perceptions of nursing professionals.
- To contribute to the improvement of nursing education quality through objective attitude assessment.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative cross-sectional design employed with 408 nursing students in Türkiye.
- Scale development involved literature review, qualitative data analysis, expert evaluation, and pilot testing.
- Statistical analyses included content validity ratio, factor analysis (EFA, PCA, Varimax), confirmatory factor analysis, reliability testing (Cronbach's alpha, test-retest), and correlation analyses.
Main Results:
- Exploratory factor analysis identified 28 items across three sub-dimensions: cooperation and understanding, communication skills and guidance, and support for professional development.
- The scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.946) and strong reliability across sub-dimensions (0.723–0.925).
- Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the scale's validity with acceptable fit indices (RMSEA = 0.054, χ2/df = 2.189) and significant test-retest correlations (p<0.001).
Conclusions:
- The developed scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring nursing students' attitudes toward nurses in clinical settings.
- This tool can be utilized by educators and researchers to evaluate and enhance the student-nurse relationship during clinical training.
- The findings support the use of this scale to identify areas for improvement in nursing education and clinical mentorship.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.3K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
