Adaptation of the Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale for Nurses in Clinical Settings (Japanese Version): A
Objectives:
To translate and adapt the Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale (CSPS) into Japanese and validate it among Japanese nurses.
Materials And Methods:
This was a two-phase study. First, we translated the original English CSPS into Japanese. The content validity index of the result was evaluated by experts, whereas the linguistic validity was ascertained by clinical nurses, from which we generated the CSPS-Japanese version. Second, the reliability and validity of the CSPS-Japanese version were evaluated using cross-sectional data from 248 nurses. Reliability was assessed using internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and the 2-week test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient). Construct validity was established using confirmatory factors and Rasch analysis. Differences in self-reported compliance based on training experience were examined.
Results:
The CSPS-Japanese version showed satisfactory reliability. The constructed model showed an acceptable fit index. Nurses with training experience had higher self-reported compliance.
Conclusions:
The CSPS-Japanese version showed good reliability and validity, and this indicates that the tool constitutes an appropriate new self-administered evaluation method for Japanese nurses.
