Abstract

<p>Objective: To develop a scale for measuring stressors for nurses involved in children with pediatric oncology and their families, and to examine its reliability and validity.</p><p>Method: The constructs of the scale were defined and the items were selected from the literature. The surface validity and content validity were examined. Based on the results, the items were modified to create a draft scale of 59 items, and the reliability and validity of the draft scale were verified. A total of 1,246 nurses were asked to complete the questionnaire survey and the results were analyzed using factor analysis, Cronbach’s α, correlation analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis.</p><p>Results: There were 469 valid responses. The item analysis and exploratory factor analysis created a scale of 5 subscales and 20 items. Cronbach’s α was high. The external criteria did not correlate with the job satisfaction scale of nurses working in hospitals but were positively correlated with the Japanese burnout scale. Model fits were as follows: comparative fit index (CFI) = .925, goodness of fit index (GFI) = .882, adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) = .844, and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .075.</p><p>Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the scale were generally good, but there remained issues regarding criteria-related validity.</p>
