Nursing Motives for Helping Scale: Further Psychometric Investigation Using a Large Sample of non-European Nurses.
Abstract
AL-Dossary Reem Nassar.
Background: The nursing Motives for Helping Scale (N-MHS) is an easily administrable and reliable measure of prosocial helping behavior in nurses. The psychometric validity of this tool needs to be established in non-European nurses including Asians.
Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional sample (simple random) survey, 361 nurses (age: 23-62 years; male: 66 and female: 294) working in three cities in Saudi Arabia participated. N-MHS, Scale of Attitude towards the Patient (SAtP), and a tool for socio-demographic information were used.
Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) findings were inconsistent, which favored both a 1-Factor as well as a 2-Factor solution for the N-MHS. Fit indices did not favor any model (1-Factor, 2-Factor, and a 3-Factor). However, both multidimensional models had divergent validity issues (inter-factor correlation coefficient>0.9). Internal consistency (Cronbach alpha: 0.87) and convergent validity (correlation coefficient between N-MHS and SAtP: r = 0.19 to 0.64; p<.01) were adequate.
Conclusion: The findings support the psychometric validity of N-MHS in non-European nurses.
