Outline of Final Research Achievements

Aim: This study aims to develop a novice nurse assertiveness scale to enable the provision of support of assertiveness.
Methods: We created a draft novice nurse assertiveness scale based on qualitative, previous studies and literature review, and examined the validity and reliability by administring a questionnaire survey to 1285 novice nurses working in twelve hospitals.
Results: Due to a possibility of influence of gender on mean, we determined to analyze 701 female novice nurses. Sixteen items and three factors were extracted using factor analysis that uses the maximum likelihood technique with promax rotation. Further, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis to test the fitness of the hypothetical model obtained from an explanatory factor analysis, and obtained the following confidence coefficients: a Cronbach's alpha of .81, a correlation coefficient of .60 from a test-retest, and a correlation coefficient of - .49 from the correlation coefficient with the J-RAS.
