Abstract
ObjectiveTo develop an evaluation index system of reputation for higher medical institutions and to test its reliability and validity.
MethodsUsing literature method and small-group discussion to collect the evaluation indexes, the data was collected by the questionnaire survey and the 1 493 effective questionnaires were collected with effective recovery rates of 61.90%. And the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods were conducted to develop evaluation index system with using the SPSS 17.0 software for statistics analysis.
ResultsThe evaluation index system of reputation for higher medical institutions included six dimensionalities: social responsibility, opinion direction, social image, management quality, emotional attract and environmental facility. The Cronbachs'α coefficients of evaluation index system were greater than 0.7, RMSEA is 0.063<0.08, χ2/df is 3.933<5, therefore, the structural equation model fitting was good and evaluation index system had good validity.
ConclusionThis article has developed an evaluation index system of reputation for higher medical institutions, which has a good reliability and validity. To test the model’s reliability and validity, the suggestion that the future research will be performed between more other medical universities has been given.
