Converging evidence of high stress levels in the nursing profession as well as their detrimental effects on the execution of nursing actions, quality indicators of care, and self-reported job satisfaction justify the need for test environments that assess stress coping competences in dealing with domain-specific stress factors. Reliable and valid information on the test takers’ stress coping competence can help to identify individual deficits and supportive needs and thus, to design training measures that may contribute to job retention and a skilled workforce. This article describes the development and validation of a digital assessment that ensures authenticity by means of video-based situational judgement tests. Analyses of the performance data were conducted in four steps: (1) the scaling of the data with a partial credit model in order to identify items that are subject to measurement error, (2) differential-item-function analyses for different specializations in nursing education, (3) dimensionality tests, and (4) correlations between test performance and perceived psychological work stress in order to gauge criterion validity. The total sample consisted of n = 300 German nursing apprentices. The results show that the developed test instrument can be used for a reliable and valid measurement of coping skills of (prospective) nurses, covering two essential dimensions. Limitations of the current study and related objectives of future research are discussed together with questions of practical applicability.

开发并验证护理学徒压力应对能力的在线情境判断测试

综合证据表明,护理行业的高压力水平及其对护理行动执行、护理质量指标和自我报告的工作满意度的不利影响,证明需要测试环境来评估处理领域的压力应对能力。特定的压力因素。关于考生压力应对能力的可靠且有效的信息有助于识别个人缺陷和支持需求,从而设计有助于保留工作和培养熟练劳动力的培训措施。本文介绍了数字评估的开发和验证,该评估通过基于视频的情境判断测试来确保真实性。性能数据分析分四个步骤进行:(1) 使用部分学分模型对数据进行缩放,以识别存在测量误差的项目,(2) 护理教育不同专业的差异项目功能分析,(3) 维度测试,以及 (4) )测试表现与感知的心理工作压力之间的相关性,以衡量标准的有效性。总样本由 300 名德国护理学徒组成。结果表明,开发的测试仪器可用于可靠且有效地测量(未来)护士的应对技能,涵盖两个基本维度。当前研究的局限性和未来研究的相关目标以及实际适用性问题一起讨论。(2) 护理教育不同专业的差异项目功能分析,(3) 维度测试,(4) 测试表现与感知心理工作压力之间的相关性,以衡量标准有效性。总样本由 300 名德国护理学徒组成。结果表明,开发的测试仪器可用于可靠且有效地测量(未来)护士的应对技能,涵盖两个基本维度。当前研究的局限性和未来研究的相关目标以及实际适用性问题一起讨论。(2)护理教育不同专业的差异项目功能分析,(3)维度测试,以及(4)测试表现与感知心理工作压力之间的相关性,以衡量标准有效性。总样本由 300 名德国护理学徒组成。结果表明,开发的测试仪器可用于可靠且有效地测量(未来)护士的应对技能,涵盖两个基本维度。当前研究的局限性和未来研究的相关目标以及实际适用性问题一起讨论。总样本由 300 名德国护理学徒组成。结果表明,开发的测试仪器可用于可靠且有效地测量(未来)护士的应对技能,涵盖两个基本维度。当前研究的局限性和未来研究的相关目标以及实际适用性问题一起讨论。总样本由 300 名德国护理学徒组成。结果表明,开发的测试仪器可用于可靠且有效地测量(未来)护士的应对技能,涵盖两个基本维度。当前研究的局限性和未来研究的相关目标以及实际适用性问题一起讨论。
