Development and psychometric evaluation of the nurses' Work Values Scale.

AIM This study aimed to develop the nurses' Work Values Scale (WVS) to determine how important certain values are for nurses and to psychometrically test the scale. DESIGN Instrument development and validation study. METHOD A two-phase scale development process comprising item generation, scale improvement and psychometric property evaluation was used. In the first phase, scale items were identified. In the second phase, item and exploratory factor analyses were performed in Study 1, and confirmatory factor analysis, validity verification and reliability verification of the nurses' WVS were performed in Study 2. RESULTS As a result of the analysis, a scale of 30 items with four subdomains was developed. In convergent validity and reliability verification, it was shown that the nurses' WVS has acceptable validity and reliability. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Patients or members of the public were not involved in this study.
