Aim:
To develop and assess the content validity of a profession-specific measure that incorporates the key attributes known to influence nurse resilience.
Design:
Iterative scale development informed by a three-round expert panel review using an online Delphi technique.
Methods:
Scale development was based on the literature and drew on items in existing instruments to capture the reported key attributes of nurse resilience. Content validation of potential items were assessed in the first round, followed by further assessment of closely related items that overlapped or measured the same concept in the second round. In the final round, the first iteration of the nurse resilience scale was presented to the expert panel to assess if the items sufficiently captured the key attributes of nurse resilience.
Results:
A 70-item scale was developed, consisting of 11 domains. The scale comprises 33 items relating to internal factors, 34 items for external factors and three for work-life balance.
Conclusion:
A profession-specific measure that reflects the complexity of nurse resilience has been developed. The nurse resilience scale demonstrated preliminary content validity, based on the content validity analysis by an expert panel.
Implications For Nursing Management:
Following the completion of psychometric testing, the nurse resilience scale can be used by clinical leaders and researchers to assess internal and external factors that influence nurse resilience. This will provide an opportunity to obtain a fuller understanding of the factors that impact nurse resilience and develop optimal interventions to sustain it.
Reporting Method:
Conducting and reporting of Delphi studies (CREDES) and guidance on Delphi studies.
