Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop a scale to measure the grit for nurses and to examine the validity and reliability of the scale.
Methods: Through a literature review and focus group interviews, 28 preliminary items were selected. After a content validity examination by experts, 35 items were chosen. The questionnaire survey for this study was conducted with 330 nurses from five hospitals in A city in Korea. Among them, 305 met the inclusion criteria for analyses.
Results: From the exploratory factor analysis to determine validity, three factors were drawn. The variance explanation by the three factors was 56.62%, which means that the scale explained grit in clinical nurses. The three factors were labeled as ¡®sustained persistence¡¯ (5 items), ¡®consistency of interest as a nursing professional¡¯ (5 items), and ¡®Patient oriented intrinsic motivation¡¯ (4 items). The grit for criterion-related validity showed that the correlation coefficient was .53 (p<.001), validating the developed scale. For internal consistency, Cronbach's ? coefficient was .91.
Conclusion: Through the development process for the instrument as described above, the clinical nurses¡¯ grit was shown to have validity and reliability. Improving the grit of clinical nurses may contribute to prevention of turnover.
