Abstract

<p>Objective: This study develops a scale for measuring career plateau in mid-career nurses and examines its reliability and validity.</p><p>Method: A draft of a career plateau measurement scale for mid-career nurses was developed based on previous research. A questionnaire survey was administered to 1,409 non-positioned nurses with between 3 and 25 years of clinical experience working at 9 hospitals with 500 or more beds in the Kinki region, and the reliability and validity of the survey were verified.</p><p>Results: Valid responses were received from 497 respondents (35.3%). Exploratory factor analysis using the main factor method and promax rotation yielded 26 items and 4 factors. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the robustness of the hypothesized model obtained in the exploratory factor analysis. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for scale reliability was .94; the intraclass correlation coefficient for the test–retest method was .82; and the correlation coefficients with the trait self-efficacy scale of criterion-related validity and job satisfaction measurement scale for nurses working in a hospital were –.47 and –.63, respectively.</p><p>Conclusion: A scale measuring career plateau in mid-career nurses was verified for reliability and validity.</p>
