Objective To develop a clinical practice satisfaction scale for the nursing interns,and to test its reliability and validity.Methods Original scale was formed on the basis of literature review and existing clinical practice satisfaction measurement tools of nursing interns.Totally 270 nursing interns of six tertiary first-class hospitals were investigated with the clinical practice satisfacfion scale of nursing intern by convenience sampling.SPSS13.0 and AMOS 17.0 were used to test the reliability and validity.Then the original scale was modified and the eventual scale was formed.Results The Cronbach's Alpha between each entries and the total scale were 0.548～0.752.The Cranbach's Alpha of total scale was 0.965and the split-half reliability of Guttman was 0.885.Five factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis and they could explain 65.307％ of the total variance.The confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good model fit of the first and second order,and the fit indices x2/df,GFI,AGFI,RMR,RMSEA,NFI,CFI,TLI were 1.176/1.095,0.893/0.900,0.856/0.864,0.034/0.033,0.026/0.019,0.918/0.924,0.987/0.993,0.983/0.991.Conclusions The clinical practice satisfaction scale of nursing intern is reliable and valid,and can be used to assess the clinical practice satisfaction of nursing intern.
