Abstract
Background and Purpose: Nursing students and graduates experience grief when not achieving curricular benchmarks or passing the NCLEX-RN. This study developed the perceptions of academic grief (PAG) instrument for baccalaureate nursing program completers experiencing academic failure. Methods: Content analysis methods generated items and achieved face validity. Focus group interview and experts' judgment of item relevance established content validity. A purposeful sample of registered nurses (RNs) and nursing students (N = 70) completed the pilot test on the 40-item instrument. Results: The highest ranked items included being disappointed, trying again to prove they could become a nurse, life investment in nursing school, and fear of failing again. The coefficient α was .94. Conclusions: The instrument was developed to measure nursing students' and RNs' academic grief. The PAG showed beginning reliability and validity and needs additional testing.

The Journal of Nursing Measurement specifically addresses instrumentation in nursing. It serves as a prime forum for disseminating information on instruments, tools, approaches, and procedures developed or utilized for measuring variables in nursing research, practice, and education. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence for the reliability and validity or sensitivity and specificity of such instruments. The journal includes innovative discussions of theories, principles, practices, and issues relevant to nursing measurement.
