Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop a "Problem Diagnostic Scale - for Staff Nurses" for the creation of an "Improvement Guide for Problem Solving," and to identify measures taken by staff nurses to solve problems they faced in their profession.
The "Problem Diagnostic Scale for Staff Nurses" is a 4-point Likert-type scale consisting of 35 questions, which was examined for internal consistency and stability, content validity, and construct validity, and was found to have a certain degree of reliability and validity. Future work is to elucidate measures that can be used by staff nurses to solve problems they face in their profession and to complete the guide.
