Purpose:
In this study, we aimed to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Novice Nursing Practitioner Role Transition (K-NNPRT) scale.
Methods:
This scale was developed through forward translation, expert panel endorsement, and back translation and was revised based on cognitive interviews. Data for the psychometric test were collected from 248 nurses who provide advanced care in Korea. The construct validity was tested based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, internal consistency reliability, and criterion-related validity.
Results:
The final version of the scale consisted of 33 items across four domains identified through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, with convergent and discriminant validity deemed acceptable. Criterion-related validity was supported by a positive correlation with the job satisfaction scale (r = .59). Internal consistency was high, with Cronbach's α = .93 for the total items and McDonald's Ω = .93 for all items.
Conclusions:
The K-NNPRT scale has demonstrated psychometric validity and reliability. It is a valuable instrument for assessing and understanding the degree of transition of new advanced practice nurses.
