Objective(s): Clinical education is a crucial aspect of professional nursing training, and the role of clinical nurses in this education is pivotal. Evaluating nurses' participation in this regard is vital to meeting the goals of clinical education. This research aimed to translate and psychometrically measure the participation of clinical nurses in the education of nursing students.
Methods: This methodological and cross sectional study, conducted in 2023, utilized back-and-forth translation according to World Health Organization guidelines. Face validity was assessed through cognitive interviews with 18 qualified nurses, while qualitative content validity involved 10 experts in health education and instrumentation. Construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis with 200 participants. The questionnaire's reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for internal consistency and the test-retest method alongside the intraclass correlation coefficient for relative stability. Data analysis was performed with SPSS-22 and Lisrel 8.8 software.
Results: The validity of the questionnaire's face and content was assessed using a qualitative approach, capturing the perspectives of the target audience and a panel of experts effectively. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a five-factor model, encompassing implementation, commitment, satisfaction, obstacles, and motivation, with the following fit indices: goodness of fit index (GFI) at 0.67, adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) at 0.61, relative fit index (RFI) at 0.89, and comparative fit index (CFI) at 0.93. The overall reliability of the instrument was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.91 and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.88 from the test-retest study.
Conclusion: The Persian version of the questionnaire assessing clinical nurses' participation in nursing students' education is valid and reliable, suitable for measuring this concept in treatment departments. The capacity of clinical nurses can be leveraged to enhance the process of student education through the use of this tool and the design of appropriate interventions.
