AIMS: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Perceived Implicit Rationing of Nursing Care (PIRNCA) instrument and to report the prevalence of rationed care at university and faculty hospitals. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. METHODS: The study was carried out at two university and five faculty hospitals in the Slovak Republic. Participants were 895 Registered Nurses recruited by the purposive sampling method between December 2017-July 2018. Data were collected using the PIRNCA instrument. Construct validity and reliability of the instrument were tested. RESULTS: The prevalence of rationed care at university and faculty hospitals was identified as being 42.1%. Furthermore, 87.6% of nurses reported rationing one or more nursing care activities. Using both statistical methods when evaluating the PIRNCA resulted in the confirmation that the tool is valid and reliable. CONCLUSION: Rationed care is a common phenomenon at university and faculty hospitals. The PIRNCA is a suitable instrument to measure the phenomenon in adult acute care units because of its high reliability and validity. We recommend using the instrument in different contexts, not only for specific conditions that were presented for this study. IMPACT: Rationed care at university and faculty hospitals has never been reported. Psychometric properties of the instrument that measures nurses ́ perception of rationed care have never been evaluated by using different approaches. The most frequently rationed nursing care activities are those that nurses are competent to initiate on the basis of their knowledge and skills - the independent ones. The PIRNCA is a valid and reliable instrument. Hospital management can use the instrument to explore the prevalence of rationed care, followed by the application of prevention strategies. Our findings represent the base for further exploration of rationed care using the PIRNCA.

Cíl. Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences (C-NIP) představuje nejnovější a slibný nástroj určený k měření preferencí klientů ve vztahu k psychoterapii. Psychometrické zhodnocení tohoto nástroje je však zatím sporé a u české verze zcela chybí. Cílem této studie bylo ověřit faktorovu strukturu české verze C-NIP, ověřit invarianci měření a stanovit hraniční skóry. Metody. N = 772 dospělých respondentů vyplnilo C-NIP v online průzkumu. K ověření faktorové struktury a invariance měření mezi pohlavími a napříč různými úrovněmi zkušenosti s psychoterapií byla použita konfirmační faktorový analýza. Výsledky. Původní faktorová struktura nebyla podpořena. Namísto toho byl navržen pětifaktorový model, který vykazoval adekvátní shodu s daty a byl striktně invariantní ve vztahu k pohlaví i úrovni zkušenosti s psychoterapií. Závěr. Českou verzi C-NIP lze považovat za validní a reliabilní nástroj na měření preferencí klientů ve vztahu k psychoterapii. Je zapotřebí replikovat navrženou faktorovou strukturu.

Objective. The Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences (C-NIP) is a new and promising tool for measuring clients’ preferences regarding psychotherapy. However, the psychometric evaluation of this measure is scarce in general and completely missing for the Czech adaptation of the measure. This study aimed to test the Czech version of the C-NIP factor structure, test its measurement invariance, and establish cut points. Methods. N = 772 adults answered the C-NIP in an online survey. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses were used to test the factor structure and assess the C-NIP measurement invariance between men and women and across several levels of psychotherapy experience. Results. The original four-factor model was not supported. Instead, a five-factor model was suggested that fit the data adequately and was strictly invariant with respect to gender and levels of experience with psychotherapy. Conclusions. The Czech C-NIP can be considered a valid and reliable measure of clients’ preferences regarding psychotherapy. The replication of the new factor model is needed.

Cílem této studie je ověřit psychometrické vlastnosti české adaptace zkrácené osmipoložkové Škály vytrvalosti (Grit-S) na základě analýzy položek, reliability ve smyslu vnitřní konzistence, obsahové a souběžné validity. Výzkumný soubor čítal 338 respondentů, z nichž bylo 209 (61,8 %) ženského a 129 (38,2 %) mužského pohlaví ve věkovém rozpětí 15–76 let (M = 28,39; sd= 10,5). Výsledky svědčí o uspokojivé reliabilitě i validitě škály. Zároveň byl nalezen signifikantní pozitivní vztah skóru této škály s věkem. Výsledky jsou konfrontovány s psychometrickými vlastnostmi originální škály a diskutovány ve světle zahraničních výsledků. Česká adaptace Grit-S je součástí tohoto příspěvku.

Aim: To report the development and psychometric testing of the Factors Affecting Patient Aggression Scale (the FAPAS), a new attitude scale constructed to measure nurses' perception of miscellaneous factors in terms of their potential to increase the risk of patient aggression against nurses. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The study was conducted according to the STROBE checklist. Data were collected using the FAPAS between November 2014 and May 2015. Registered nurses (n = 1,220) from nine teaching hospitals across Slovakia were included in the study. Construct validity and reliability of the instrument were tested using SPSS 18.0. Results: Resulting from the factor analysis, a six-factor structure was revealed. Six subscales representing specific groups of factors affecting patient aggression against nurses can be conditioned by Gender aspects, Situations of physical and emotional distress of a patient, Nurse-related factors, Factors of nursing shift organization, Patient-related factors, Factors of the nursing workplace environment. The Cronbach's alpha of the instrument was 0.91, ranging from 0.63 to 0.88 for subscales. Conclusion: Based on psychometric testing in the Slovak sociocultural context, the FAPAS showed acceptable reliability and construct validity and thus is considered a promising instrument for measuring nurses' perception of miscellaneous factors of patient aggression.

Úvod: Spiritualita je integrální součástí lidského života. V sekulárním prostředí dochází k přehlížení spirituálních potřeb zejména v akutní ošetřovatelské péči. K objektivnímu zhodnocení lze využít Spiritual Needs Assessment for Patients (SNAP), jež existuje i v české verzi (SNAP-CZ).Cíl: Zjistit psychometrické vlastnosti dotazníku SNAP-CZ.Metody: Průřezová pilotní studie s dotazníky hodnotícími spirituální potřeby (SNAPCZ), úzkost (Beck anxiety inventory; BAI), depresi (Beck's depression inventory; BDI), bolest (Vizuální analogová škála; VAS), soběstačnost (Barthel index; BI), doplněné o sociodemografická data. Spolehlivost SNAP-CZ byla ověřena metodou test-retest. Pro statistické zpracování byly použity Spearmenův korelační koeficient, Pearsonův korelační koeficient, Cronbachova α, Mann-Whitneyův U test a Kruskal-Wallisova ANOVA.Výsledky: Zúčastnilo se 50 traumatologických pacientů z Fakultní nemocnice v Ostravě. Reliabilita dotazníku SNAP-CZ byla velmi dobrá (Cronbachova α = 0.91). Korelace testretest dosáhla vysokých hodnot (Pearsonova korelace r = 0,940; Spearmanova korelace r = 0,917). Pozitivní korelace s celkovým skóre SNAP-CZ byla zjištěna u BDI (r = 0,368; p < 0,05) a víry (p = 0,025).Závěr: Psychometrické vlastnosti dotazníku SNAP-CZ lze považovat za velmi dobré.

Introduction: Spirituality is an integral part of human life. In a secular environment, spiritual needs are overlooked, especially in acute nursing care. Spiritual Needs Assessment for Patients (SNAP), which also exists in the Czech version (SNAP-CZ), can be used for objective evaluation. Aim: Measure the psychometric properties of the SNAP-CZ.Methods: Cross-sectional pilot study with tools assessing spiritual needs (SNAP-CZ),anxiety (Beck anxiety inventory; BAI), depression (Beck's depression inventory; BDI), pain (Visual Analogue Scale; VAS), self-sufficiency (Barthel index; BI) and Socio-demographic data. The reliability of SNAP-CZ was verified by the test-retest. Spearmen's correlation coefficient, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Cronbach's alfa, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA were used for statistical processing. Results: 50 trauma patients from the University Hospital in Ostrava took part. The reliability of the SNAP-CZ questionnaire was good (Cronbach's α = 0.91). The testretest correlation reached high values (Pearson correlation r = 0.94, Spearman correlation r = 0.917). Positive correlations were found between BDI (Spearman's correlation coefficient; r = 0.368; p < 0,05) and the question of faith (Mann-Whitney U test; p = 0.025) with the total SNAP-CZ score.Conclusion: The psychometric properties of the SNAP-CZ questionnaire appear to be very good.

Motivácia žiakov k učeniu je významnou súčasťou edukačného procesu. Hlavným cieľom štúdie je realizovať psychometrické overenie slovenskej verzie dotazníku AMS – HS28 (Academic Motivation Scale – High School version), ktorá bola navrhnutá autormi Vallerand et al. (1992). Výskumný nástroj obsahoval sedem škál, tri boli zamerané na vonkajšiu motiváciu, tri na vnútornú a jedna na amotiváciu. Výskumného šetrenia sa zúčastnilo 201 žiakov stredných škôl. Štatistické spracovanie zahrňovalo stanovenie vnútornej konzistencie dotazníka prostredníctvom koeficientu Cronbachovo alfa, a ďalej konfirmačnú faktorovú analýzu. Konfirmačná faktorová analýza potvrdila sedemfaktorový teoretický model a hodnoty koeficientu alfa poukázali na vnútornú konzistenciu tak celého dotazníka, ako aj jednotlivých faktorov.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The quantitative study focuses on the psychometric properties of the Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients (REAP) tool for assessing dietary habits. The aim of the study was to validate REAP and its factor structure, reliability, and validity. REAP was used for the first in patients with hypertension. METHODS: Language validation of REAP measurements into Czech language, test, retest, and pilot testing were performed. In addition, 420 patients were investigated, and exploratory confirmation factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha and Split-half coefficients were used. RESULTS: Five models with different number of items and identified factors were created. Reliability coefficients are satisfactory. The best results were achieved through the model created for a group of patients with hypertension. There were five factors extracted and described in words: Factor F1 was named "Meat consumption," factor F2 "Inappropriate food and activities for with hypertension (WH) patients," factor F3 "Consumption of dairy and fatty foods, "factor F4 "Consumption of sweet foods," and factor F5 "Appropriate food and activities for WH patients." CONCLUSION: The REAP questionnaire is a suitable tool for clinical practice use when assessing dietary habits in patients with hypertension.

Cieľom štúdie je overenie psychometrických vlastností škál ARIS – Škály zámeru k aktivizmu a radikalizmu. Škála je tvorená ôsmimi položkami, ktoré sýtia 2 faktory: Zámer k aktivizmu AIS a Zámer k radikalizmu RIS. Škála bola administrovaná študentom (n = 946) vo veku od 14 do 21 rokov. Z celkového počtu respondentov bolo 74,0 % žien. Za účelom overenia nástroja bola použitá konfirmačná faktorová analýza CFA, metódou ML, s posudzovaním fit indexov. Spoľahlivosť nástroja bola overená pomocou koeficientov Cronbachova α a McDonaldova ω. Na základe štatistických analýz bolo zistené, že dáta primerane opisujú model, a výsledky podporili dvojfaktorovú štruktúru slovenskej verzie nástroja, χ2 (58) = 94,406; p < 0,002; RMSEA = 0,052 (90 % CI 0,032–0,071); CFI = 0,981 a TLI = 0,982. Reliabilita nástroja bola vysoká a jednotlivým škálam boli namerané nasledovné hodnoty: AIS: α = 0,840, ω = 0,839; RIS: α = 0,820, ω = 0,818. Na základe výsledkov bolo zistené, že slovenská verzia škály ARIS dosahovala primerané psychometrické vlastnosti pre účely výskumu.

The aim of the study is to verify the psychometric properties of the ARIS scales - The Activism and Radicalism Intention Scales. The scale consists of eight items that saturate 2 factors: Activism Intention AIS and Radicalism Intention RIS. The scale was administered to students (n = 946) aged between 14 to 21 years. Of the total number of respondents, 74.0% were women. In order to verify the tool, a confirmatory factor analysis CFA, using the ML method, was used, with assessment of fit indices. The reliability of the tool was verified using Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω coefficients. Based on statistical analyses, it was found that the data adequately describe the model, and the results supported the two-factor structure of the Slovak version of the tool, χ2 (58) = 94.406; p < 0.002; RMSEA = 0.052 (90% CI 0.032-0.071); CFI = 0.981 a TLI = 0.982. The reliability of the tool was high, and the following values were measured for individual scales: AIS: α = 0.840, ω = 0.839; RIS: α = 0.820, ω = 0.818. Based on the results, it was found that the Slovak version of the ARIS scale achieved adequate psychometric properties for research purposes.

AIM: To develop and psychometrically evaluate a skin tear knowledge assessment instrument (OASES). DESIGN: Prospective psychometric instrument validation study. METHOD: The skin tear knowledge assessment instrument was developed based on a literature review and expert input (N = 19). Face and content validity were assessed in a two-round Delphi procedure by 10 international experts affiliated with the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP). The instrument was psychometrically tested in a convenience sample of 387 nurses in 37 countries (April-May 2020). Validity of the multiple-choice test items (item difficulty, discriminating index, quality of the response alternatives), construct validity, and test-retest reliability (stability) were analysed and evaluated in light of international reference standards. RESULTS: A 20-item instrument, covering six knowledge domains most relevant to skin tears, was designed. Content validity was established (CVI = 0.90-1.00). Item difficulty varied between 0.24 and 0.94 and the quality of the response alternatives between 0.01-0.52. The discriminating index was acceptable (0.19-0.77). Participants with a theoretically expected higher knowledge level had a significantly higher total score than participants with theoretically expected lower knowledge (p < .001). The 1-week test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.83 (95% CI = 0.78-0.86) for the full instrument and varied between 0.72 (95% CI = 0.64-0.79) and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.81-0.89) for the domains. Cohen's Kappa coefficients of the individual items ranged between 0.21 and 0.74. CONCLUSION: The skin tear knowledge assessment instrument is supported by acceptable psychometric properties and can be applied in nursing education, research, and practice to assess knowledge of healthcare professionals about skin tears. IMPACT: Prevention and treatment of skin tears are a challenge for healthcare professionals. The provision of adequate care is based on profound and up-to-date knowledge. None of the existing instruments to assess skin tear knowledge is psychometrically tested, nor up-to-date. OASES can be used worldwide to identify education, practice, and research needs and priorities related to skin tears in clinical practice.
