Background:
Positive learning behavior plays a pivotal role in the professional development of undergraduate nursing students. It supports the growth of their knowledge base, enhances the quality of their learning, and enables them to assume meaningful roles in clinical services as well as dynamic educational settings. Despite this importance, there is currently no specialized tool tailored for nursing students in Iran. This study seeks to translate and assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Learning Behavior Questionnaire (LBQ) within this population.
Methods:
This methodological cross-sectional study involved 511 nursing students selected through convenience sampling. The LBQ was translated into Persian following the guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization. The reliability and validity of the instrument were evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency measures.
Results:
The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses validated the questionnaire's structure, identifying four factors with 19 items, which collectively explained 67.26% of the total variance. The CFA demonstrated a well-fitting model with the following indices: CFI = 0.93, GFI = 0.907, IFI = 0.952, TLI = 0.940, RMSEA = 0.075, and SRMR = 0.049. The reliability measures indicated strong internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.882 and an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of 0.873 for the overall questionnaire.
Conclusion:
The Persian version of the LBQ exhibits strong reliability and validity, making it a reliable instrument for evaluating the learning behaviors of nursing students in Iran.
