“…Based on the results of the two PCAs described above, we can conclude that ID and PIFFS are potentially useful and psychometrically high-quality instruments for measuring PI in nursing and other students. Similar validation results of instruments in which the factor structure is different of original structure but it is stable were obtained on the Croatian sample during the validation of other instruments in nursing (Lovric ́et al, 2016;Lovric ́et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: The identification of nursing students with their profession, as well as gained professional competencies, are the crucial factors of the quality of their future work activities and the level of safety of the patient they are taking care of. Therefore, it is of utter importance to estimate the nursing students’ professional identity during their education. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to translate Professional Identity Five-Factor Scale and Identity questionnaire, to test their psychometric properties in Croatian practice and to identify more suitable instrument of measuring the level of nursing students' professional identity in Croatian context. Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional two-phase study was performed. In the first phase translated questionnaires were administered to a sample of 432 nursing students. Based on the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which revealed poor model fit, the principal component analysis was conducted. In the second phase, CFA was used to test the Croatian version of the instruments' factor structure on a sample of 222 students with different study orientations. Results: The CFA results, conducted in first phase, do not support the original version of the factor structures of the Professional Identity Five-Factor Scale and Identity models. The exploratory approach showed that the translated Professional Identity Five-Factor Scale had three factors with good psychometric properties explaining 49.35% of the variance. Translated Identity questionnaire had a two-factor structure (63.46% explained variance) with good reliability properties. In the second phase, on another heterogeneous sample of students, the described factor structure was found to have a good model fit obtained by CFA. Conclusions: According to the findings, Professional Identity Five-Factor is more appropriate for evaluating professional identity of nursing students, and Identity is probably better suited to measure professional identity among working professionals.

“…Other U.S. nursing research studies heralded similar results in that there were high incidences of cheating reported amongst nursing students, and these incidences were occurring both in the classroom and WIL settings (Krueger 2014;McClung & Gaberson 2020;McClung & Kraenzle Schneider, 2018;McCrink, 2010). Similar findings have been reported through the international nursing literature and amplify the need to understand how such behaviour and conduct impacts the effectiveness of nursing education locally and globally (Ali et al, 2018;Keçeci et al, 2011;Lovric et al, 2020;Macale, 2017;Rafati et al, 2020).…”

Work-integrated learning (WIL) is an educational approach that aims to support students’ integration of theory to practice. These rich learning opportunities provide students with real-world experiences and introduce practice and ethical situations that help consolidate and bridge their knowledge and skill. Academic integrity has been defined as the ongoing commitment to values that are consistent with ethical practice: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage (International Centre for Academic Integrity, 2021). It is important to understand what specifically influences students’ intentions to behave with integrity in WIL settings. This paper reports on one study that explored predictors to students’ intentions to behave with integrity across three different WIL settings in their upper years of studies. The findings and recommendations from the research may help to inform other professional programs that include WIL through their educational offerings.

“…In the second phase, the back-translation was conducted by an independent translator (a bilingual native English speaker living in Croatia). Finally, all the translators and authors of the article analysed and evaluated the original and back-translation of the questionnaire and agreed on the final version [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…Finally, several randomly selected volunteers reviewed the instrument, checking each item for precision and clarity of the questions asked. The volunteers were parents who were selected as the respondents but did not participate in this study [ 31 , 32 , 35 ]. After the selection process, parents assessed the comprehensibility of the introductory instructions and the complete content (all the items) in the instrument.…”

Hospitalization of a child in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is extremely stressful, both for the child and for his or her family. The purpose of this study was to gain deeper insight into the stressful experiences of parents of children hospitalized in the PICU. This study included 96 parents. The data were collected using a translated and standardized scale “The Parental Stressor Scale: Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PSS: PICU)”. This study confirms high exposure of parents to numerous PICU stressors. The most intense PICU stressor for parents was child’s breathing depending on the ventilator (4.22 ± 1.17), and the least intense was child’s demanding behaviour (1.17 ± 0.33). A significant positive correlation between the level of parents’ perceived stress and the number of their children was recorded (r = 0.240, p = 0.02), while there was no significant correlation between the level of stress and other sociodemographic variables. A significantly higher level of stress was experienced by parents with primary school education (p = 0.032) and parents who are not healthcare professionals (p < 0.01). It is necessary to establish a system that will enable continuous assessment of parents’ stress levels and timely prevention of stressful experiences for parents in the PICU.
