“…The K-NPSE and general self-efficacy had a significant positive correlation with a correlation coefficient of 0.43, thereby meeting the standard of 0.40-0.80 for establishing criterion-related validity [15,24]. In each dimension, there were significant positive correlations for the professional situation (r = 0.42, p < 0.001), advocating situation (r = 0.26, p < 0.001), and caring situation (r = 0.41, p < 0.001) ( Table 3).…”

“…This study tested the validity and reliability of the K-NPSE in an attempt to develop a nursing profession self-efficacy scale suitable to Korean culture. It is important to present reasonable evidence with various logical analyses for using the scale [15,24]. Thus, we recruited nurses from multiple regions in Korea in consideration of the features of the clinical setting and adhered to systematic procedures.…”

Background: The Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy (NPSE) scale was developed to reflect the characteristics of nursing tasks. This study was conducted to validate the Korean version of the NPSE (K-NPSE) scale. Methods: The NPSE scale with nineteen items was translated into Korean after forward and backward translation according to Devellis’ guideline. For the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), 298 nurses participated and criterion-related validity and reliability were verified. For the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), 218 other nurses participated. Content validity, criterion-related validity, and internal consistency reliability were examined. Additionally, construct validity was examined. SPSS and AMOS were used for the data analyses. Results: Nineteen items were selected after evaluating the content and cognitive validity and comprised three factors: “Professional (10 items)”, “Advocating (4)”, and “Caring (5)”. Construct validity was supported by the CFA. Criterion-related validity was supported by comparison with the General Self-Efficacy Test (r = 0.43, p < 0.001). Cronbach’s alpha of the K-NPSE was 0.93. Conclusions: Study findings indicate that the K-NPSE could be useful for assessing nurses’ self-efficacy. The K-NPSE may be used as a valuable reference for developing programs or policies that promote nursing professionals. It is expected that continued use of this scale in various clinical settings to further generalize and validate the scale.

“…In recent years, researchers have been more inclined towards tool development because of demand as they gave a scientific and valid estimation. So, the need here is to develop tools by following a more systematic way (Kumar, 2015). From generating the initial item pool to the construction of validity and reliability criterion sampling was used.…”

Purpose: The present study aimed to develop an indigenous valid and reliable scale to measure the readiness to change in patients with drug addiction. Design/Methodology/Approach: approach in which theories behind the transtheoretical model of change and drug addiction were examined along with semi-structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions. Phase one of the present study was scale construction, for this purpose initial items pool was generated from literature, focus groups of ward boys and nurses, interviews of psychologists, and in-depth interviews of diagnosed patients of drug abuse. Major themes were extracted by using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis and transformed into statements. For content validity, three experts were requested to rate items on a Likert-type scale and items were included or excluded by 1/3 ratio. For construct validity scale was administered on 100 diagnosed patients with drug addiction. Findings: Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with the Varimax rotation method and Kaisar Normalization extracted three factors. The factors were named after stages of readiness for change including pre contemplation, contemplation and action stage. Implications/Originality/Value: This study contributed to psychometric research through the development of an indigenous scale to assess readiness to change on the transtheoretical model of behavior change in Pakistan. No such tool was found available presently to measure this and readiness was being measured on an international scale.

“…The sample size must, however, relate to the question and the type of qualitative research. Kumar (2015) accordingly claimed that it is an approach in which a few carefully selected cases are intensively studied. Bearing this in mind, the sample size selected is given in Table 6.1.…”

“…According to Kumar (2015), the first step in tool development is a careful examination of the extant theory, which is current or existing theory relating to the construct the researcher decides to measure. In social research, there are three main forms of data collection, namely questionnaires, interviews and observation or study documents.…”

Peer review declarationThe publisher (AOSIS) endorses the South African 'National Scholarly Book Publishers Forum Best Practice for Peer Review of Scholarly Books'. The manuscript underwent an evaluation to compare the level of originality with other published works and was subjected to rigorous two-step peer review before publication, with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the editor(s) or author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s), and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's editor(s) or author(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revision and improvements, the editor(s) or author(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published.v Research justificationThis book focuses on the environmental ergonomics of restaurant kitchens and the challenges related hereto in a semi-tropical city, Durban, from a chef's perspective. It establishes the urgent need for commercial kitchens to be conducive to the wellbeing of kitchen workers, as heat illness is unreported in this industry. This research is relevant from occupational health and safety point of view. It evaluates the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters such as heat, ventilation and humidity, noise and lighting in kitchens, and it is cognisant that with different cuisines, the kitchen loads are different. The goal of occupational safety is health intervention for worker comfort to enhance work performance. The book generates new knowledge regarding the factors affecting the body mass index of kitchen workers, prediction of heat and humidity near cooking stoves, discomfort near ovens, lighting in preparation areas and factors affecting reaction to stove noise. The book implements an exploratory design with multiple-case studies. The manuscript is structured into broad chapters on heat, ventilation and humidity, noise and lighting. Data analysis is an essential component of new knowledge, and a detailed description will promote certain research concepts among scholars to acquire research skills. The themes move from the hospitality industry in general and narrow down to commercial kitchens and specifically aim at students learning and training in culinary skills. The book accordingly scrutinises theory in respect of the relationship between individual differences and contextual components, and it factored these into controlled heat in a work environment and other IEQ parameters. This book advances existing physical conditions, as well as physiological and psychological influences of these parameters in commercial kitchens on worker relief-seeking behaviour adaptations. A ground-breaking new framework that optimises workstation comfort levels of kitchen workers is presented, hence offering insightful environmental contributions to improve commercial kitchen design and awareness among kitchen designers, erg...
