「The Development of the Attitude Toward Professional Autonomy Scale for Nurses in Japan.」

This study's aim was to develop and test the psychometric properties of the Attitude toward Professional Autonomy Scale for Nurses in Japan. In Study 1, the initial (26-item) version of the scale was pilot tested on 454 Japanese nurses; item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed. In Study 2, the revised version of the scale (19 items) was administered to 802 Japanese nurses. The scale had good internal consistency (α = .85). Correlations with the scale of the desire of self-determination supported its concurrent validity. The scale could facilitate the assessment of cognitive aspects of professional autonomy among nurses and contribute to assessment of the propensity to behave autonomously among nurses in various clinical settings.（本研究では、国内の看護師における専門職的自律意識尺度の開発を行った。26項目を用いて454名の看護師を対象に第1回目調査を行い、項目分析と探索的因子分析を行った。その結果をもとに、尺度を19項目に改定し、802名の看護師を対象に第2回目調査を行った。その結果、尺度の内的整合性が確認され (α = .85)、また自己決定欲求尺度との相関が高く基準関連妥当性も確認された。よって、本尺度により看護師の専門職的自律意識の認知面を評価することができたといえる。）
