| Popis: | Background and Purpose:Factors influencing work-life balance of regional hospital nurses are different from other professions. This study aimed to develop an instrument to measure work-life balance, and examine its psychometric properties.Methods:Psychometric properties were tested with content validity, construct validity using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability with 598 professional nurses recruited using multi-stage sampling.Results:The Nurses’ Work-life Balance Scale (NWLBS) had 38 items and seven components, explaining 64.46% of total variance. Content Validity Index was 0.94. CFA results indicated good fit with empirical data. Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.53 to 0.94 for the seven subscales in 30 professional nurses.Conclusions:NWLBS demonstrated good content validity, construct validity, and reliability for assessing nurses’ work-life balance. |
