Abstract: (214 Views)
Determining the attitude of nursing and midwifery students regarding information and communication technology requires the use of valid tools in this field. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of psychometrically determining the attitude scale of nursing and midwifery students towards health information and communication technology in Iran.
180 nursing and midwifery students of Torbat Heydariyeh University of Medical Sciences participated in this research. The study units were selected by random sampling. To collect data, the Persian language version of the attitude scale of nursing and midwifery students towards health information and communication technology was used. To determine the factor analysis of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis was used with LISRES software version 8, and CFI, GFI, NFI, RMSEA and X2/df indices were used to check the goodness of fit of the model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and SPSS version 16 software were used to check reliability.
The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that items 11 and 14 were not significant in the Persian scale. After removing the above items, the CFA model was re-fitted. Since CFI, GFI, and NFI indexes were more than 0.9, RMSEA index was less than 0.1, and X2/df was less than 3, the fit of the above model was appropriate. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.7 and confirmed.
The results showed that the health information and communication technology attitude scale for nursing and midwifery students has good validity and reliability. This tool can be used in future studies.
