“…The categorical variables were counted using frequency and percentages, P<0.05 was considered to be statistically signi cant. Item analysis was conducted based on the following analysis: (I) extreme group comparison, items should discriminate between the scoring group of the upper 27% and lower 27% [21] and (II) item-total correlations the correlation between the score of each item and the total score of the scale. Items with a critical ratio (CR)>0.3 or an item-total correlation between 0.30 and 0.80 were retained [22].…”

Abstract Objective: to make the translation, cross-cultural adaption and content and face validation of Questionnaire of sleep health for use in Chinese elder, as well as measuring psychometric properties of the questionnaire. Methods: A methodological study carried out in six steps: translation of the instrument, consensus of the translations, back-translation, analysis by an expert committee, pre-testing and then evaluation of psychometric properties. Psychometric properties, including item analysis (the extreme group comparison and item-total correlations), content validity (item-level content validity index (I-CVI) and scale-level content validity index (S-CVI)), construct validity confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and internal consistency (Cronbach’s α and test–retest reliability) were measured.Results: The instrument was translated, transculturally adapted and its final version consisted of 12 items. The Q-USM has excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.76). The test–retest reliability coefficient was 0.97.The I-CVI ranged from 0.80 to 1.00, and the S-CVI was 0.98. CFA showed that the three-factor model explained 56.54% of the total variance, with a good model fit (likelihood ratio χ2/df=3.75, incremental fit index=0.86, comparative fit index=0.86, goodness-of-fit index=0.89, adjusted goodness-of-fit index=0.84, standardized root mean square error of approximation=0.09 and root mean square residual=0.02).Conclusion: The Q-USM was translated and adapted to Chinese elder, and the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the questionnaire presented satisfactory. It’s providing assessment instruments for community elderly health. As the questionnaire is applied for the first time in China, it needs to be continuously improved.

“…Selain itu, melalu analisis butir soal akan mendapatkan umpan balik yang nantinya dapat dijadikan acuan dalam pengambilan keputusan. Soal yang masuk kategori layak dapat langsung digunakan, soal dengan kategori kurang layak dapat direvisi, sedangkan soal dengan kategori tidak layak dapat digugurkan sehingga harus dihapus atau diganti dengan soal lainnya [18], [19]. Namun sayangnya, pengetahuan dan keterampilan guru dalam melakukan analisis butir soal masih tergolong rendah [20].…”

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kualitas dari soal tipe HOTS pada kompetensi sistem rem melalui pelaksanaan analisis butir soal. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian evaluatif. Sampel penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI TKRO 1 di SMKN 1 Labang Bangkalan sejumlah 32 siswa. Instrumen penelitian ini meliputi soal pilihan ganda tipe HOTS, kunci jawaban, dan lembar jawaban hasil pekerjaan siswa, yang kemudian dianalisis validitas, reliabilitas tingkat kesukaran, daya pembeda, dan efektivitas pengecoh menggunakan bantuan software Anates V4. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari total 50 soal pilihan ganda terdapat 80%soal yang masuk dalam kategori valid, sedangkan 20% soal masuk pada kategori tidak valid. Kemudian untuk reliabilitas mendapatkan nilai koefisien sebesar 0,917. Sementara itu soal yang masuk kategori mudah, sedang, dan sukar pada indeks tingkat kesukaran masing-masing sebesar 38%, 46%, dan 16%. Kemudian soal yang masuk kategori baik sekali, baik, cukup, buruk, dan tidak baik pada indeks daya beda masing-masing sebesar 10%, 42%, 28%, 6%, dan 14%. Selanjutnya pada indeks pengecoh soal yang masuk kriteria sangat baik, baik, kurang baik, buruk, dan sangat buruk masing-masing sebesar 28%, 29%, 19%, 17%, dan 7%. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa soal tipe HOTS pada kompetensi sistem rem layak digunakan sebagai alat penilai kompetensi siswa

“…The concurrent validity between the PCSCCS-M and the C-SCGS was assessed by Pearson's correlation coefficient. Item analysis was performed using the following analyses: (a) extreme group comparison (item discrimination, an item should be able to discriminate between the upper 27% and lower 27% scoring groups) [32]; (b) corrected item-total correlations; (c) factor loadings; (d) Cronbach's alpha if an item was deleted; (e) and communities. Items with a criterial value (CR) < 3.0, a corrected item-total correlation < 0.30, factor loading < 0.45, and a community < 0.20 and whose deletion caused an increase of 0.5 or more in the alpha coefficient for the overall scale were excluded.…”

Background: Spiritual care competencies are among the primary professional skills that enable best practices in nursing. Assessing these competencies and identifying those that are insufficient are important tasks. The traditional Chinese version of the Palliative Care Spiritual Care Competency Scale (PCSCCS) used in Taiwan is a well-validated tool to measure palliative caregivers' competencies in providing spiritual care. However, whether this scale is valid and reliable for use with nurses in other health-care contexts is unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine this version's validity and reliability for use with nurses in mainland China. Methods: The PCSCCS was first converted into a simplified Chinese version (PCSCCS-M) from the traditional Chinese version used in Taiwan such that mainland nurses could read and understand it easily. Then, the validity and reliability of the PCSCCS-M was evaluated with 400 Chinese nurses recruited using convenience sampling from three university-affiliated comprehensive hospitals, two cancer hospitals, one psychiatric hospital, two traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, one marital and child service care center, and one community health service center. Concurrent validity was assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficients of the PCSCCS-M and the Chinese version of the Spiritual Care-Giving Scale (C-SCGS). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to determine the construct validity. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted using another sample of 351 nurses to verify the quality of the factor structures of the PCSCCS-M. An internal consistency test based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient and a stability test based on the Guttman split-half coefficient were also conducted. Results: Useful data were obtained from 356 participants (response rate: 89%). EFA confirmed a three-dimensional structure of the scale after one item was deleted, and the three factors explained 63.839% of the total variance. Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the three subscales were 0.811, 0.889 and 0.896, and the Guttman split-half coefficient for the PCSCCS-M was 0.862. Modified CFA indicated a well-fitting model. The correlation between the PCSCCS-M and C-SCGS was 0.340 (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The PCSCCS-M is a brief, easy-to-understand, and psychometrically sound measurement tool to evaluate spiritual care competencies in nurses from mainland China.
