Abstract

Background

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration-Task Load Index (NASATLX) is a subjective instrument for measuring cognitive load. Originally designed for aviation, it has proven a valid and reliable instrument across disciplines. Despite extensive use, its ability to measure cognitive load in group and individual nursing simulation has yet to be explored.

Methods

This secondary analysis investigates NASA-TLX psychometric properties among 488 surveys completed by learners from a Bachelor's nursing program during individual and group simulation. Psychometric tests included item analysis, Cronbach's alpha, inter-item correlations, and exploratory factor analysis.

Results

NASA-TLX demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity in individual simulation; however, there was less reliability in group simulations.

Conclusion

Administration variances across individual and group simulation impact NASATLX validity and reliability.

对 NASA-TLX 进行心理测试，以测量学习者在个人和小组护理模拟中的认知负荷

背景美国国家航空航天局任务负荷指数（NASATLX）是一种测量认知负荷的主观工具。它最初是为航空业设计的，现已证明是一种有效、可靠的跨学科工具。尽管该工具已被广泛使用，但其在小组和个人护理模拟中测量认知负荷的能力仍有待探索。方法本二次分析调查了 NASA-TLX 的心理测量特性，调查对象是本科护理课程的学员在个人和小组模拟中完成的 488 份调查问卷。心理测试包括项目分析、克朗巴赫α、项目间相关性和探索性因子分析。结果NASA-TLX在个人模拟中表现出了可接受的信度和效度；但在小组模拟中的信度较低。结论个人和小组模拟的管理差异会影响NASATLX的效度和信度。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
