Abstract
Aim
The purpose of this study was to verify the validity and reliability of the resilience
scale for nurses (RSN).
Methods
27 preliminary items were extracted from previous research. The subjects were 339
nurses who worked at 2 hospitals in South Korea in 2016. Collected data were analyzed
using explanatory factor analysis (EFA). EFA was performed with principal axis factoring
with oblimin rotation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with SPSS 25.0 and AMOS
25.0 version program. Also, data were examined by construct, discriminant, and convergent
validity, and internal consistency reliability.
Results
Resilience scale for nurses showed CFA supported the four-factor structure (Philosophical
pattern, Relational pattern, Dispositional pattern, and Situational pattern) of the
measure. The 19 items for 4 factors identified that explained 67.329% of the total
variance in RSN. A total the internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.938)
was stable.
Conclusion
Psychometric properties of RSN show that it is a useful and reliable scale to assess
Resilience in Korean nurses. Based on these results, effective resilience intervention
programs for nurses can be developed.
