  • Title: Preliminary Psychometric Analysis of the Modified Perceived Value of Certification Tool for the Nurse Educator.
    Author: Barbe T.
    Journal: Nurs Educ Perspect; 2015; 36(4):244-8. PubMed ID: 26328293.
    Abstract:
    AIM: The purpose of this study was to examine psychometric properties of the Perceived Value of Certification Tool© with a focus on nurse educator certification (PVCT-NE) in a sample of nurse educators. BACKGROUND: Greater understanding of faculty perceptions of certification is necessary to facilitate a strong cadre of nursing faculty; however, research around nurse educator certification is limited by a lack of reliable and valid instruments to measure such perceptions. METHOD: Twenty-four nursing faculty from one university participated in the psychometric study, which involved completion of the PVCT-NE in a web-based survey format. RESULTS: Internal consistency reliability was excellent. Cronbach's alpha for the total PVCT-NE was .94 (.93 for the intrinsic subscale and .86 for the extrinsic subscale). A content validity index of .95 was obtained. CONCLUSION: There is preliminary evidence that the PVCT-NE is a reliable and valid instrument to measure perceived value of certification in nurse educators.
