Psychometric testing of the Persian version of the Nursing Care Quality Scale: A methodological study

AIM: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Cambodian Nursing Care Quality Scale. DESIGN: Methodological design. METHODS: This study was carried out in several steps: a forward‐backward translation was done, face and construct validity was measured using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and the reliability was evaluated. A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 350 nurses from May 2021 to March 2022. RESULTS: The exploratory factor analysis extracted six factors that explained 60.76% of the total variance. The six‐factor model is supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha and the intra‐class correlation coefficient were 0.94 and 0.85, respectively. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Evaluation of the quality of care can lead to the enhancement of the quality of nursing services and patient safety. This will subsequently increase the patients' and community satisfaction.
