Abstract
Background and Purpose: Factors influencing work-life balance of regional hospital nurses are different from other professions. This study aimed to develop an instrument to measure work-life balance, and examine its psychometric properties. Methods: Psychometric properties were tested with content validity, construct validity using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability with 598 professional nurses recruited using multi-stage sampling. Results: The Nurses' Work-life Balance Scale (NWLBS) had 38 items and seven components, explaining 64.46% of total variance. Content Validity Index was 0.94. CFA results indicated good fit with empirical data. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.53 to 0.94 for the seven subscales in 30 professional nurses. Conclusions: NWLBS demonstrated good content validity, construct validity, and reliability for assessing nurses' work-life balance.
