Designing and Psychometric Evaluation of Nurses’ Social Responsibility Instrument: A Mixed Method Study

Zahra Hadian Jazi, Hamid Peyrovi, Armin Zareiyan

Abstract


Background: To provide excellent nursing care services, nursing standards should be considered; one of these standards is being socially responsible. Regarding the lack of appropriate instruments in Iran for measuring social responsibility, the design of an instrument in accordance with Iranian culture seems to be necessary. So, the present study aimed to design a valid and reliable tool for measuring the social responsibility of nurses.

Materials and Methods: In this sequential exploratory mixed‑method study, designing and psychometric evaluation of nurses’ social responsibility instrument were performed in qualitative and quantitative phases. In the qualitative phase, the concept of nurses’ social responsibility was explored and its characteristics and dimensions were identified using a hybrid concept analysis model. In the quantitative phase, validity (face, content, and construct), and reliability (Cronbach’s α and interclass correlation) were examined a sample of nurses in Tehran, Iran (n = 280). The construct validity of the scale was determined using exploratory factor analysis.

Results: The findings supported 23 items in four factors: dedicated to others, efforts to improve social conditions, holistic vision, and favorable relationship. A total of 44.40% of the variance was explained by these four factors. Scale‑Content Validity Index/Average (S‑CVI/AVE) was calculated 0.91 and it was found that the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.88.

Conclusions: The researchers focused on designing and psychometric evaluation of nursing social responsibility tools based on nurses’ opinions and prepared a native, valid, and reliable tool, which seems to be a good tool for measuring the social responsibility of nurses.
