Using Data

The main purpose of this study is to identify the underlying dimensions of consumer complaining and recovery effort and to develop a multidimensional scale to measure this construct. Literature suggests that the consumer complaining and recovery effort is a four-dimensional construct consisting of procedural, cognitive, time-related, and affective components. Using data collected from hotel guests, a measurement scale is developed to assess this four-dimensional construct. First, a factor analysis is conducted on one set of data. Afterward, the underlying dimensions identified by the exploratory factor analysis are confirmed by conducting a confirmatory factor analysis on a separate set of data. Findings suggest that the scale developed in this study presents substantial convergent validity, discriminant validity, predictive validity, and reliability.

Abstract Background Given the importance of screening pregnant women’s distress, it was intended to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale (TPDS-P) for screening pregnancy distress. Methods This methodological psychometric study was conducted with participation of 360 pregnant women. The TPDS was translated into Persian. Factor analysis was used to investigate the construct validity. The results of the correlation test between the results of the two questionnaires, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) and TPDS-P, were used to determine the criterion validity of TPDS-P. Internal consistency of the items was calculated by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Stability of the results was examined by test-retest method and Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was calculated. Examining the structure of the factors derived from exploratory factor analysis, fitness of the model was done through confirmatory factor analysis. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. Results Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was 0.846 (p = 0.001). Sixteen items of TPDS-P accounted for 51.42 percent variances. The TPDS-P exhibited appropriate fitness. There was poor to moderate but significant direct correlation between the subscales of DASS-21 and TPDS-P. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the TPDS-P was 0.81 and ICC was 0.70. Conclusions TPDS-P, with appropriate validity and reliability, can be used as a practical scale to evaluate women's distress during pregnancy in Farsi-speaking societies.

Abstract Background: Oral presentations are an important educational component for nursing students. However, there are no reliable tools for objective evaluations of presentations. We aimed to develop a measurement scale for nursing students’ oral presentations and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods: A literature review and face-to-face interviews with university tutors in oral presentations and students generated 28 scale items. The validity and reliability of the scale was evaluated with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Results: Nursing students provided data for exploratory factor analysis (n = 325), which resulted in 20 items. Three factors explained 64.75% of the total variance: accuracy of content, effective communication, and clarity of speech. The Cronbach's α value was .94 for the total scale and the three factors ranged from .84 to .93. Construct validity was examined with confirmatory factor analysis using data from another 325 students. Five items were deleted, and fit indices of the model were acceptable, with the exception of the adjusted goodness of fit index, which was below the minimum criteria. The final 15-item oral presentation scale (OPS) was significantly correlated with the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension scale (r = -.51, p < .001) and Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale (r = .45, p < .001) indicating excellent criterion-related validity. The intra-class correlation coefficient for a 3-week test-retest (r = .681, p < .001) indicated the OPS was stable over time. Conclusions: The OPS could be adopted to help nursing programs prepare for and improve students’ oral presentations.

Background: Substance users are among the most highly stigmatized individuals by both the public and health care providers. However, no multidimensional scale for measuring substance use stigma for substance use disorders (SUDs) currently exists in Turkey. Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Substance Use Stigma Mechanism Scale (SU-SMS). Method: The study was conducted at the AMATEM (Alcohol and Substance Addiction Treatment Center Clinic). The sample group of this methodological study consisted of 156 participants with SUDs who met the inclusion criteria. “Social-demographics Questionnaire,” “The Substance Use Stigma Mechanism Scale,” and “Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale” were used for data collection. In the validity–reliability analysis of the scale, language and content validity, explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-concurrent validity, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, item–total score correlation, split-half reliability analysis, and test–retest reliability methods were used. Results: Using exploratory factor analysis, it was found that the SU-SMS has five factors. Its five-factor structure was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis. Its Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was .828, and factor loading was between .402 and .971. Analyses indicated that each of the factors of the Turkish version of the scale had high internal consistency. The test–retest correlation value was .752, p = .000. Conclusions: It was concluded that the Turkish version of the SU-SMS is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing substance use-related stigma in individuals with SUDs.
