Translation and psychometric validation of the Korean version of the academic nurse self-efficacy scale for Korean bachelor-level nursing students
Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to translate the Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy scale (ANSE), assess its appropriateness for use in Korean nursing students, and evaluate the Korean Version of the Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy scale’s (K-ANSE) validity and reliability.
Methods
The data of 444 nursing college students at 10 universities across the country were collected from November 1, 2020 to June 8, 2021. The K-ANSE was analyzed utilizing SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 25.0 programs. The K-ANSE’s content validity, construct validity, convergent/discriminant validity, criterion-related validity, and reliability were evaluated.
Results
Internal emotion management, auto-regulatory behavior, external emotion management, and sociality were established. The Cronbach’s α for the overall scale was 0.87, and that of the 4 subscales ranged from 0.70 to 0.89.
Conclusions
The Korean version of the ANSE seems to be a valid and reliable instrument to measure Korean bachelor-level nursing students.
