Abstract

Objective The purpose of the study was to develop an instrument to measure nursing professional values held by Chinese nurses.Methods 381 nurses were enrolled for the survey on their professional values by the draft of nursing professional values assessment tool(NPVAT).With the item analysis,such as dispersion degree,correlation efficient,discriminability,alpha coefficients index and exploratory factor analysis,the items were selected.Results As a result of the item analysis,the final version of NPVAT was composed of 20 items selected from a total of 32 items.Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a four-factor solution explaining 51.99％ of the common variance.Conculsions The NPVAT developed in this research can be used for measuring the nursing professional values among nurses. Key words: Nursing professional values; Nurses; Assessment tool
