Summary
This study developed and validated the Persian Workplace Dignity Scale (WDS) for nurses. The WDS demonstrates strong reliability and validity for assessing workplace dignity in the Iranian nursing context.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Psychometrics
- Organizational Behavior
Background:
- Workplace dignity encompasses respect, trust, fair treatment, and autonomy.
- Developing a reliable scale is crucial for measuring this construct.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop the Persian Workplace Dignity Scale (WDS).
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the WDS among nurses.
Main Methods:
- Methodological study involving translation and validation of the WDS.
- Assessed face and content validity, exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency, and stability.
- Utilized statistical analyses including Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's Omega, and ICC.
Main Results:
- The Persian WDS demonstrated strong validity and reliability.
- Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors explaining 70.6% of variance.
- High internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.949, McDonald's Omega=0.950) and stability (ICC=0.970) were observed.
Conclusions:
- The Persian version of the WDS is a valid and reliable instrument.
- The scale is suitable for measuring workplace dignity among nurses in Iran.

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.

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,...
