Revised and reliability and validity tests of clinical junior nurses emotional intelligence scale
Abstract：Objective:To revise the Chinese version of emotional intelligence scale (EIS) and to test its reliability and validity for clinical junior nurses.Methods:The Chinese version of EIS was conducted to 442 clinical junior nurses for exploratory factor analysis.Moreover,confirmatory factor analysis was carried out for 421 clinical junior nurses.Data were analyzed by SPSS19.0 and AMOS22.0 software about the reliability and validity.Results:The total average score of the scale was 3.82±0.31,and the average score of 33 item from 3.05 to 4.46.A new scale with 4 factors and 16 items was identified by using exploratory factor analysis.The cumulative contribution of variance was 58.665%.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fitness of the model was perfect(GFI=0.918,CFI=0.934,RMSEA=0.049,NFI=0.902,IFI=0.936,TLI=0.920).The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the Chinese version of EIS was 0.826 and the Cronbach's α coefficients of all factors were all above 0.6.Conclusion:The Chinese version of EIS was proved to be reliable and valid after amended.It could be used to assess the emotional intelligence of clinical junior nurses.
