    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Administration
    • Healthcare Management
    • Organizational Science

    Background:

    • Previous studies have not consistently linked shared governance models to measurable outcomes.
    • Key variables like job satisfaction, autonomy, and cost-effectiveness lack established relationships with governance structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an instrument for measuring professional nursing governance.
    • The goal was to create a reliable tool for hospital-based nurses.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of the 88-item Index of Professional Nursing Governance (IPNG).
    • Psychometric properties were evaluated using data from 1,162 registered nurses across 10 hospitals.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The IPNG demonstrated strong content validity (.95) and internal consistency (alphas .87–.91).
  • Test-retest reliability was .77, and six factors explained 42% of the variance.
  • Construct validity confirmed significant differences between shared governance and traditionally governed hospitals.

    • Conclusions:

    • The 88-item IPNG is a valid and reliable instrument.
    • It effectively measures the distribution of professional nursing governance in hospital settings.
