Description
Summary:Aim The aim of this study was to develop and assess the reliability and validity of the Nurse Job Rotation Stress Scale (NJRS). Methods A convenience sampling method was utilized to recruit two groups of nurses (n = 150 and 253) from a 2751 bed medical center in southern Taiwan. The NJRS scale was developed and used to evaluate the NJRS. Results Explorative factor analysis revealed that three factors accounted for 74.11% of the explained variance. Confirmatory factor analysis validity testing supported the three factor structure and the construct validity. Cronbach's alpha for the 10 item model was 0.87 and had high linearity. Conclusion The NJRS can be considered a reliable and valid scale for the measurement of nurse job rotation stress for nursing management and research purposes.
