병원간호사의 한국어판 도덕적 고뇌 측정도구의 타당도와 신뢰도

Abstract

Purpose To develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (KMDS-R) to assess its applicability to Korean hospital nurses. Methods The KMDS-R was articulated through forward-backward translation methods. Internal consistency reliability, construct and criterion validity was calculated using SPSSWIN(19.0). Survey data were collected from 188 nurses from a university hospital in Gangwon-do, South Korea. Results The KMDS-R showed reliable internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of .69-.87 and a Guttman Split-half of .69-.82 for the total scale. Factor loading of the 21 items on the five subscales ranged from .41-.80. The KMDS-R was validated by factor analysis and explained 63% of moral distress for Korean hospital nurses. Criterion validity compared to Yoo's MDS showed significant correlation. Conclusion The results suggest promising evidence of the KMDS-R’s reliability and validity. It is used to measure moral distress for Korean hospital nurses. Keywords: Nurses, Moral distress, Validity and Reliability 주요어: 간호사, ë„ë•ì  ê³ ë‡Œ, 타당도와 ì‹ ë¢°ë„
