Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of nurses’ attitudes toward delegation and preparedness to delegate (APD).
Methods: The Korean version of APD was developed through forward-backward translation methods. Internal consistency reliability, criterion validity, and construct validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 19 and AMOS 20.0. Survey data were collected from 161 nurses working in 2 general hospitals.
Results: The Korean version of APD showed Cronbach’s alphas of .68 and .85. Factor loadings of the 8 attitude items on the 3 subscales ranged from .60 to .86 and the 15 preparedness items on the 4 subscales ranged from .47 to .90. The model of 3 subscales for the Korean nurses’ attitude toward delegation and the model of 4 subscales for the Korean nurses’ preparedness to delegate were both validated by confirmatory factor analysis(NC<3, CFI>.90, RMSEA<.10). Criterion validity compared to job satisfaction showed significant correlation.
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that this modified Korean version of APD is applicable for measuring Korean nurses’ attitude toward delegation and preparedness to delegate.
