Abstract
In order to test the reliability and validity for Chinese version of Information System Use Behavior Scale for nurses.,680 registered nurses from 7 general tertiary hospitals in Chengdu were enrolled by a convenience sampling method. 654 returned the questionnaires and 617 were valid. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17.0 to evaluate the structure validity, internal consistency and split-half coefficient of the scale. Finally, two factors were identified (including the expanding use behaviors and the exploratory use behaviors) using the exploratory factor analysis. These two factors contributed to 83.43% of the cumulative variances. The item factor loading in its respective dimension ranged from 0.62 to 0.91(P<0.05). The coefficient of internal consistency (Cronbach’а value) reached 0.918 and the split-half coefficient was 0.798. From the analyzed outcomes we can know that the Chinese version of Information System Use Behavior Scale for nurses has demonstrated good construct validity and reliability in this study. It can be utilized to assess nurses’ Hospital Information System use behaviors.
