Abstract:
Background and Purpose: Workplace belongingness influences nurse retention. Current measurement tools primarily focus on nursing students. The goal was to adapt and validate the U.S. version of the Belongingness Scale-Clinical Placement Experience (BES-CPE) questionnaire for use with registered nurses instead of students. Methods: The revised U.S. version of the BES-CPE included 25 Likert-scale items. A pilot study with 65 nurses was performed. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire along with the adapted instrument. Results: Coefficient alpha was .9, demonstrating strong internal consistency. The average interitem correlation was .26, indicating a nonredundant relationship. Conclusions: The adapted U.S. version of the BES-CPE for nurses is valid, reliable, and suitable for measuring a nurse's sense of belonging in their workplace.
