Measuring Nurses’ Value, Implementation, and Knowledge of Evidence‐Based Practice: Further Psychometric Testing of the Quick‐EBP‐VIK Survey
Worldviews on Evidence-based Nursing, 2017Co-Authors: Linda Connor, Fiona Paul, Margaret Mccabe, Sonja ZinielAbstract:Background The Quick-EBP-VIK is a new instrument for measuring nurses’ value, implementation, and knowledge of EBP. Psychometric Testing was conducted in two parts. Part 1 describes the tool development and validity Testing which resulted in the development of a 25-item survey after receiving ≥0.80 Item-Level Content Validity Index for both clarity and relevance. Part 2 describes Psychometric Testing was necessary to assess additional types of validity and reliability. Aim The purpose of this paper is to further describe the Psychometric Testing of the Quick-EBP-VIK survey instrument. Methods This descriptive study was designed to assess test–retest reliability, internal consistency and construct validity via a web-based survey. The survey instrument was e-mailed to all nurses at the study hospital. Nurses who responded to the first survey (Wave 1) received another e-mail invitation to complete the survey instrument again (Wave 2) for the purpose of assessing the test–retest reliability of the instrument. Results A total of 1,177 deliverable e-mails were sent to all nursing staff at one free standing pediatric hospital with Magnet® designation in the northeast. A total of 382 nurses returned completed surveys, indicating a 32.5% response rate for Wave 1. A total of 131 nurses responded to Wave 2 indicating a response rate of 34.3%. The intraclass correlation coefficients for the items included in the final instrument ranged from 0.43 to 0.80 and were deemed sufficient. These represent a sufficient intraclass correlation coefficient. The Cronbach's Alpha values for each of the three domains are all higher than 0.7 indicating that the items of each of the measurement dimension are internally consistent. However, the composite reliability of the third domain was slightly lower than 0.7 when using Raykov's Rho. Linking Evidence to Action The Quick-EBP-VIK instrument has gone through rigorous comprehensive Testing and has demonstrated good Psychometric properties.

the life closure scale additional Psychometric Testing of a tool to measure psychological adaptation in death and dying
Research in Nursing & Health, 2004Co-Authors: Marjorie C DobratzAbstract:The purpose of this study was to conduct additional Psychometric Testing on an instrument designed to measure psychological adaptation in end-of-life populations across a wide spectrum of terminal illnesses. A sample of 20 participants completed initial Testing of the Life Closure Scale (LCS); however, its usefulness was limited by the small sample size. A larger sample of 113 home hospice individuals who met established criteria and who gave informed consent completed the 27-item LCS for additional Psychometric Testing. Cronbach's alphas and correlation coefficients were computed, and factor analysis was conducted to establish internal consistency reliability, theoretical clarity, and criterion-related validity. The number of scale items was reduced to 20, with a total alpha of .87. Cronbach's alphas for the two subscales were .80 (self-reconciled) and .82 (self-restructuring). Item–total correlations for the subscales ranged from a low of .37 to a high of .68, with confirmatory factor analysis yielding two loadings. These findings lend credence to the usefulness of the LCS in measuring psychological adaptation in dying persons. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Res Nurs Health 27:52–62, 2004
