Abstract
ObjectiveTo develop and establish the role adaptation scale (RAS) in new nurses.
MethodsWe analyzed and evaluated the cultural differences, validity and reliability of RAS by interviewing 5 nursing experts and investigating 307 new nurses.
ResultsThere were good face validity, content validity and construct validity (0.96) . The positive correlation had been observed between role adaptation of new nurses and their factors (r=0.307-0.781, P<0.01) . The correlation among four factors were good (r=0.340-0.714, P<0.01) . The Cronbach′s α was between 0.600-0.903. The correlativity among factors and their items were >0.4 (all P<0.01) .
ConclusionsRAS has good validity and reliability and it is suitable as a scale to evaluate the role adaptation in new nurses.
