Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin savurgan davranışlarına yönelik tutumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yeni bir ölçüm aracı olarak Hemşirelere Yönelik Savurgan Davranışlar Tutum Ölçeğinin geliştirilmesini amaçlamaktadır.

Yöntemler: Üç fazdan oluşan bu çalışmanın, son aşamasında, kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapılarak, ölçek maddelerindeki olası yanlılıkları en aza indirmek ve hemşirelik profesyonelleriyle etkili bir şekilde iletişim kurmak için 52 maddeden oluşan yeni bir madde havuzu oluşturuldu. Kapsam geçerliliği sonuçlarının ardından 50 maddelik ölçek taslağı elde edildi. Şubat-Eylül 2023 tarihleri arasında 500 hemşireden online olarak veri elde edildi.

Bulgular: Ölçeğin kapsam geçerlik indeksi 0,96’dır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda ölçeğin beş alt boyuta dağılmış 30 maddeden oluştuğu ve bunların toplam varyansın %58,17'sini açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca Cronbach alfa katsayısı .93 değerini vermiştir.

Sonuç: Ölçek yüksek iç tutarlılığa, zamanla değişmezliğe ve yüksek uyum indekslerine sahiptir. Bu ölçek, hastanelerde savurgan davranışlarının önlenmesine ve sürdürülebilirliğin sağlanmasına yönelik girişimlerde bulunulmasına yardımcı olabilir.

Ethical Statement

Bu çalışma Helsinki Bildirgesi kılavuz ilkelerine uygun olarak yürütülmüştür. Brezilya 2013'te revize edilmiştir). Son aşama için bir vakıf üniversitesinin etik kurulundan etik onay alınmıştır (Onay Numarası: 152, Tarih: 02/12/2021). Araştırma daha önce "Sağlık Çalışanlarında İsrafa Yönelik Tutum Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi ve Geçerlilik Çalışması" başlığı altında bir konferansta sunulmuştur. Ancak örneklemin ağırlıklı olarak hemşirelerden oluştuğu yönündeki öneriler üzerine ölçek, hemşirelerin tutumlarını tam olarak ölçecek şekilde revize edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, hemşire olmayan 3 sağlık personeli örneklemden çıkarılmıştır. Bu değişiklik etik kurul onayının yenilenmesini gerektirmiştir. Başlık revizyonundan sonra ek onay alınmıştır (Onay Numarası: 520, Tarih: 06/03/2024). Etik izin, çalışmanın tüm aşamalarını kapsamaktadır. Katılımcılara çalışmanın içeriği hakkında detaylı bilgi verilmiş ve bilgilendirilmiş onam formları onaylatılmıştır.

Thanks

Araştırmamızı büyük ölçüde zenginleştiren katkıları ve değerli görüşleri için tüm katılımcı hemşirelere en içten şükranlarımızı sunmak istiyoruz. Katkılarınız çalışmamızın başarıyla tamamlanmasında etkili olmuştur.

Development of the Attitude Scale for Wasteful Behaviors Towards Nurses and Examination of Its Psychometric Properties

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to develop the "Nurses’ Wasteful Behaviors Attitude Scale" as a new measurement tool to evaluate the attitudes of nurses’ wasteful behaviors.

Methods: In the final phase of this three-phase study, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to create a new item pool of 52 items to minimize potential biases in the scale items and to communicate effectively with nursing professionals. Following the content validity results, a 50-item scale draft was obtained. Data were obtained online from 500 nurses between February and September 2023.

Results: The content validity index of the scale stands at 0.96. Following the exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that the scale comprises 30 items distributed across five sub-dimensions, which collectively account for 58.17% of the total variance. Moreover, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient yielded a value of .93.

Conclusion: The scale has high internal consistency, time invariance, and high fit indices. This scale can help take initiatives to prevent wasteful behaviors in the hospitals and ensure sustainability.

Ethical Statement

This study was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki. Revised in Brazil 2013). Ethical approval was obtained from the ethics committee of a foundation university for the final phase (Approval Number: 152, Date: 02/12/2021). The research was previously presented at a conference under the title "Development and Validity Study of the Attitude Scale Towards Waste in Healthcare Workers." However, upon the suggestion that the sample consisted mainly of nurses, the scale was revised to measure nurses' attitudes fully. As a result, 3 health personnel who were not nurses were excluded from the sample. This change required renewal of the ethics committee approval. Additional approval was obtained after the title revision (Approval Number: 520, Date: 06/03/2024). Ethical approval covered all stages of the study. Participants were given detailed information about the content of the study, and informed consent forms were approved.

Thanks

We want to express our sincere gratitude to all the participating nurses for their contributions and valuable insights, which greatly enriched our research. Your input was instrumental in the successful completion of our study.
