NATPGE: Understanding registered nurses' attitudes towards post graduate education
2015
Nursing education is a dynamic process designed to enable
nurses to competently meet the healthcare needs of society.
Health system restructuring has been associated with
diminishing postgraduate specialist nursing numbers
worldwide. Valid instruments that monitor and evaluate
nurses’ attitudes to gauge educational barriers and facilitators
are a central component in planning effective education, and
have been unavailable.
Overall both the CE and the RNs ranked the NATPGE, using
the CVI, as a realistic training platform that would be useful
for evaluating RNs’ attitudes towards postgraduate education.
The comments received from the CE resulted in some minor
changes to the wording of some items for better clarity and
simplicity. No particular concerns were raised about any of the
items by the CE. The CE was agreeable that the items were
arranged in a positively and negatively worded sequence,
which was intentional as to prevent response bias.
The present research indicates very good content and face
validity and whilst the test-retest reliability overall was
moderate, several individual questions did have poor kappa
values.
