Validity and reliability of the Chinese translation of the attitude scale towards the use of artificial intelligence technologies in nursing (ASUAITIN)- a cross-sectional study
摘要
This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Scale (ASUAITIN) in Chinese culture.
MethodsA convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 499 clinical nurses from Sichuan Province, China. Following the Brislin model, the ASUAITIN scale underwent forward translation, synthesis, and back-translation. Cultural adaptation and revisions were conducted through expert consultation and pilot testing, resulting in the finalized ASUAITIN-C. The structural validity of the scale was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed through internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
ResultsThe ASUAITIN-C consists of 15 items and two factors, which account for 73.278% of the total variance. The overall Cronbach’s α coefficient of the ASUAITIN-C is 0.785, while the Cronbach’s α values for the two subdimensions are 0.920 and 0.948, respectively. The test-retest reliability over two months, measured by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), is 0.91.
ConclusionStudies have shown that this questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing nurses’ attitudes toward using artificial intelligence in the nursing field.
