Objective:to develop and validate a scale to evaluate nursing attitudes in relation to
hospitality for the humanization of nursing care. Participants: the sample
consisted of 499 nursing professionals and undergraduate students of the final two
years of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. Method:the instrument has been developed and validated to evaluate the ethical values
related to hospitality using a methodological approach. Subsequently, a model was
developed to measure the dimensions forming the construct hospitality. Results:the Axiological Hospitality Scale showed a high internal consistency, with
Cronbach’s Alpha=0.901. The validation of the measuring instrument was performed
using factorial, exploratory and confirmatory analysis techniques with high
goodness of fit measures. Conclusions:the developed instrument showed an adequate validity and a high internal
consistency. Based on the consistency of its psychometric properties, it is
possible to affirm that the scale provides a reliable measurement of the
hospitality. It was also possible to determine the dimensions or sources that
embrace it: respect, responsibility, quality and transpersonal care.
The developed tool has shown sufficient validity and high internal consistency. Its adequate psychometric properties lead to the conclusion that the scale provides a reliable and valid measurement of academic support perceived by students during their placement.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the capacity of choral singing to improve human well-being and that, in certain sectors of society (including older adults, prison populations, underprivileged social groups, and mentally illness groups), choral singing bears several benefits. Thus, this descriptive study proposed a comprehensive structural model of the dimensions that comprise choral singing’s contribution to individual well-being and aimed to explain these benefits. The study was conducted in a non-random sample of 1,513 adult Spanish singers of both sexes and variable age. An instrument was developed to assess the psychosocial benefits of choral singing, as perceived by singers; it comprised five constituent dimensions: satisfaction, ability, group engagement, belonging, and optimism. The instrument enabled us to assess how choral singing contributed to well-being, with adequate reliability (Cronbach’s α = .917) and validity. The system of relationships proposed by the model represents a plausible explanation regarding the benefits of choral practice and singing for well-being.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
