South Africa construct validity nursing students perceived stress scale reliability.Īedh, A.I., Elfaki, N.K. The results confirm the construct validity and the internal consistency of the PSS for South African nursing students. Overall the PSS had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93. The model fit was a good fit and supported the six-factor latent structure as stress from (1) taking care of patients, (2) teachers and nursing staff, (3) assignments and workload, (4) peers and daily life, (5) lack of professional knowledge and skills and (6) clinical environment. The internal consistency of the PSS was measured using Cronbach's alpha. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the hypothesised six-factor latent structure and determine the construct validity of the PSS. Questionnaires were distributed and collected during classes. This research aimed to test the construct validity and reliability of the PSS for South African nursing students.Ī cross-sectional survey was conducted at a Central South African University, and 471 of the 685 registered nursing students (68.8% response rate) participated in the study. However, it has not been widely validated for this purpose. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), developed by Sheu and colleagues, is one of the most cited instruments for measuring stress and sources of stress amongst nursing students in international studies. Increased levels of stress in nursing students are negatively related to caring behaviours and also result in poorer job proficiency and nurses who are more inclined to leave the profession.
