Abstract

Purposes

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure stigma during epidemics among adults in nursing care and validate its psychometric properties.

Methods

The preliminary items of the Tendency to Stigmatize Epidemic Diseases Scale scale were developed through a literature review, the Delphi technique, and content validity analysis. A total of 723 adults living in Turkey responded to the questionnaire from June to December 2021. The collected data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis and confirmative factor analysis using SPSS and AMOS programs.

Results

The experts agreed on 51 scale items, and 24 items were removed following exploratory factor analysis. On the 27-item scale, a five-factor structure was found with an eigenvalue >1, explaining 59.2% of the total variance. The overall Cronbach's α value was 0.88.

Conclusions

This scale is a reliable and valid measurement tool for adults to determine their level of stigma during epidemics in nursing care. This scale helps develop interventions to improve the psychological health of adults in nursing care.

流行病鄙视倾向量表（TSEDS）：量表开发与有效性研究

本研究的目的是开发一种量表，用于测量成人护理人员在流行病期间的耻辱感，并验证其心理测量学特性。方法通过文献综述、德尔菲技术和内容效度分析，开发了 TSEDS 量表的初步项目。2021 年 6 月至 12 月期间，共有 723 名居住在土耳其的成年人回答了问卷。专家们就 51 个量表项目达成了一致意见，并在探索性因子分析后删除了 24 个项目。在 27 个项目的量表中，发现了一个特征值为 1 的五因素结构，解释了总方差的 59.2%。总的 Cronbach's α 为 0.88。结论该量表是一种可靠有效的测量工具，可用于确定成人在护理流行病期间的污名化程度。该量表有助于制定干预措施，以改善护理中成人的心理健康。
