TL;DR
The Brazilian version of the instrument demonstrated evidence of internal structure validity among nursing students, contributing to the identification of gaps in patient safety education.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the internal structure validity of the Brazilian version of the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey among nursing students. Methods: a psychometric study was conducted with 402 final-year nursing students from 17 universities. Measurement properties were tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Item Response Theory, combined with cross-validation. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha and McDonald’s Omega indicators. Data analysis was performed using IBM® SPSS Statistics 20.0 and Factor® software. Results: the unidimensional 16-item model explained 60.76% of the variance in clinical practice and 55.25% in classroom settings. Factor loadings, communalities, and item discrimination were adequate, with stability and replicability maintained in cross-validation. Conclusions: the Brazilian version of the instrument demonstrated evidence of internal structure validity among nursing students, contributing to the identification of gaps in patient safety education.
Current research shows that the Turkish adaptation of SÇ-BYÖDÖ is a valid and reliable tool that suggests a practical method to assess informatics self-efficacy among health workers and may significantly contribute to the development of digital competency in Türkiye’s health system.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool. Methods: a methodological study conducted with 145 healthcare professionals from a hospital in the countryside of São Paulo. For data collection, a sample characterization form, the Brazilian version of the Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool, and sections B, C, and F of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture - Brazilian version were used. Confirmatory factor analysis and hypothesis testing (Spearman’s correlation coefficient) were used to assess validity. To assess reliability, composite reliability was calculated. Results: the six-factor structure with three items was confirmed. The correlation coefficient reached p<0.0001 for all hypotheses tested. Composite reliability ranged from 0.81 to 0.85. Conclusions: the Brazilian version of the tool showed evidence of validity and reliability, and is suitable for practical use.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Clinical Practicum Transition Shock Scale (CPT-Shock) for nursing students. Material and Methods: This methodological study was conducted with undergraduate nursing students between January 20 and February 20, 2025. Data were collected online through a Descriptive Information Form and the 19-item CPT-Shock. Linguistic equivalence was achieved by the translation–back translation process, and content validity was evaluated using the Davis technique and Content Validity Index (CVI). Construct validity was tested with the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) value, Bartlett’s test of sphericity, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Reliability was analyzed through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, split-half reliability, and item–total correlations. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. Results: The participants’ mean age was 21.81 ± 1.20 years, and 88.9% were female. The CVI value was 1.00. The data were suitable for factor analysis (KMO = 0.834; Bartlett’s χ² = 1970.949, p < 0.001). CFA confirmed the original six-factor structure (CMIN/DF = 2.103; RMSEA = 0.060; GFI = 0.902; SRMR = 0.072). The scale showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.852) and high split-half reliability (Spearman–Brown = 0.913; Guttman = 0.911). Conclusions: The Turkish version of the CPT-Shock is a valid and reliable tool for measuring transition shock among nursing students. Implication for nursing practice: The scale may support early identification of students’ adaptation needs and guide improvements in clinical education practices.

Introduction The communication skills of healthcare professionals directly influence interventions with patients and their families, and therefore, the quality of care provided. Aim To adapt and validate the CSAS questionnaire in a Spanish university sample of Health Sciences students: Nursing, Psychology, Physiotherapy, Medicine, among others. Materials and methods A cross-sectional design was employed with a sample of 792 participants (21.9% male) with a mean age of 21.12 years. The internal structure, internal consistency, factorial invariance, differential validity by sex, and convergent and discriminant validity of the instrument were analyzed. Normative data were also calculated. Results Two factors (positive and negative attitudes) with a correlation of −0.71 were obtained, demonstrating adequate fit (GFI = 0.967, NFI = 0.920, SRMR = 0.059) and with an internal consistency of 0.852 and 0.632, respectively. The factorial structure showed clear differences by sex, with different correlations between both factors: −0.77 for males and −0.68 for females. The test demonstrated adequate convergent validity with other similar measures. Differences in scores were observed by sex, with higher values on the scale for males. Conclusion The Spanish version of the CSAS is a valid instrument for evaluating interpersonal communication skills, both generally and specifically in the field of Health Sciences. The establishment of normative data for the CSAS will allow for the identification of the relative position of evaluated individuals in relation to a university sample.

Background: Evidence-based practice is an internationally accepted healthcare standard grounded in research utilisation. Validated instruments allow evaluation of nursing education against European Union competence requirements. Aim: To assess the psychometric properties of the Competence in Research Utilisation (CompRU) instrument among graduating nursing students using data from three European countries. Methods: Data were collected from graduating nursing students (n = 648) in Finland, Poland and Slovenia between 2012 and 2017. The CompRU instrument comprises a knowledge test and self-reported scales assessing skills and attitudes. Psychometric properties were assessed using Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, item-to-total correlation, Rasch analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: Internal consistency reliability was acceptable in all sections, despite two categories in the Knowledge section showing lower consistency. Rasch analysis supported the internal scale validity of the Knowledge section in terms of item infit and item separation. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the structure (Skills and Attitudes sections) and strength of the hypothetical model. Conclusion: The CompRU instrument is a promising tool for measuring nursing students’ research utilisation competence at graduation. Based on both classical and modern test theory approaches, the instrument demonstrates evidence of acceptable psychometric properties, although some items in the Knowledge section could benefit from future revisions.

Aim: This study aimed to develop the Student–Team Collaboration Scale in Healthcare and to test its psychometric properties.Material and Method: This study employed a methodological design. The study was conducted with 300 senior students studying in the field of health sciences (medicine, nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation). Scale validity was tested with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. In the reliability study, item-total correlation, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and test-retest method were used.Results: Factor analysis results showed that the scale consisted of three sub-dimensions and explained 79.3% of the variance. The Cronbach alpha value of the scale consisting of 25 items was found to be .94. Cronbach alpha values for the sub-dimensions were found to be .93 for professionalism and achievements, .92 for communication and .89 for the team, respectively.Conclusion: The findings indicate that the scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the level of team cooperation of students studying in the field of health sciences.
