在护士工作压力的研究中，护理压力量表（Nursing stress Scale， NSS）是最知名、应用最广泛的量表。本文概述了NSS及其使用，并描述了一种扩展仪器（ENSS）的发展，以测量护士感受到的压力的来源和频率。调查结果是基于安大略省2280名护士在各种工作环境中工作的随机样本。该研究的预测试表明，为了充分衡量护士的压力来源，有必要扩大NSS的版本。压力的来源包括九个子量表：死亡和临终、与医生的冲突、准备不足、与同伴的问题、与主管的问题、工作量、治疗的不确定性、患者及其家属和歧视。在随机选择的两半样本上进行的验证性因素分析接近于满足标准标准水平。其中8个分量表的alpha系数为。并发效度评估和建构效度评估为扩展后的NSS提供了强有力的支持。
In the study of work-related stress among nurses, the Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) is the best known and most widely used scale. This article presents an overview of the NSS and its use, and describes the development of an expanded instrument (ENSS) to measure sources and frequency of stress perceived by nurses. Findings are based on a random sample of 2,280 nurses in Ontario working in a wide range of work settings. Pretests for the study indicated that an expanded version of the NSS was necessary in order to adequately measure sources of stress among nurses. The sources of stress comprised nine subscales—death and dying, conflict with physicians, inadequate preparation, problems with peers, problems with supervisors, workload, uncertainty concerning treatment, patients and their families, and discrimination. Confirmatory factor analyses, run on two randomly selected halves of the sample, came close to meeting standard criteria levels. The alpha coefficients of eight of the subscales were .70 or higher, and concurrent and construct validity assessments provided strong support for the expanded NSS.
