Description

The purpose of this study is to develop scale to measure stress recognition related to ethical problems among visiting nurses and examined for construct validity and reliability. The authors performed a self-completion questionnaire survey for visit nurses. Analysis subjects are 182. "Stress recognition in ethical problems" was structured in reference to Jameton's classification of the ethical problems (1984). For the analysis, "dilemma", "unclarity", "constraint by workplace environment", "constraint by involved parties" and "constraint by system and policy" were assumed for primary factors, a five-factor secondary factor model based on "Stress in ethical problems" was assumed and this model's compatibility for data was examined by confirmatory factor analysis. The result revealed that CFI=0.938 and RMSEA=0.062, indicating that the model was compatible with data. The coefficient of reliability (Cronbach α ) was 0.874. Therefore, the authors have confirmed construct validity and reliability of the scale to measure stress in ethical problems among visiting nurses.
