Application evaluation of work-life balance scale in evaluating nurses'work-life balance status
Objective To explore the reliability and validity of work-life balance scale for evaluating the work-life balance status of nurses,and to provide a scientific and rigorous evaluation tool for investigating the work-life balance status of nurses.Methods From February 1,2023 to March 1,2023,the work-life balance scale was used to measure 526 nurses with clinical work experience of one year or more in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University and Wuming Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi Medical University.The results were tested for reliability and validi-ty.Results The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.940,and the split-half reliability was 0.881.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the three factors ranged from 0.819-0.930,and the split-half reliability ranged from 0.796-0.899.The reliability of the scale was good.The scale contained three factors,and the cu-mulative explained variance variation was 68.857%.The factor loading values of each item ranged from 0.468-0.862,while the specific attribution of the item was different from the previous research conclusions.The correlation coefficient between the three subscales ranged from 0.515-0.663,and the correlation coeffi-cient of the total scale ranged from 0.731-0.949,indicating that the scale structure and content validity were good.After the theoretical model of the confirmatory factor analysis scale removed two items,the standardized residual root mean square was 0.070,and the comparative fit index was 0.904.Conclusion The work-life bal-ance scale has good reliability and construct validity in evaluating the work-life balance status of nurses,but the model fitting degree is slightly worse.It is suggested to expand the sample size for further verification..
