Introduction: The healthcare system is currently facing significant human resource challenges. Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare Leadership (SBNH-L), a unique, value-driven leadership approach, holds great potential in creating healthy workplaces in healthcare. Objective: To develop and validate a scale to measure SBNH-L. Methods: The development and validation of the SBNH-L scale followed a rigorous process including 3 stages: 1) Item generation, 2) Scale development, and 3) Construct validation. For construct validation, a quantitative psychometric design, with two cross-sectional samples, was used (the first sample in February 2021, n = 194 North American healthcare managers and the second sample in April 2022, n = 357 Canadian healthcare workers). Results: The scale showed good psychometric properties (notably, Cronbach’s alphas ranged from .73 to .96) as well as evidence of construct validity; data showed satisfactory fit with the hypothesized 8-factor structure (χ2 = 747.43, df = 224, p |
