The effects of group discussion and self-learning on nursing students' civility

Aim Student's uncivil behaviour is one of the most common problems in the educational setting, including nursing schools. It is essential to develop tools for measuring the uncivil behaviour of nursing students to solve this problem. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate psychometric properties of perceived nursing student's incivility questionnaire among the Iranian community. Design In this methodological study, perceived nursing student's incivility questionnaire was completed by 360 nursing students and 121 nursing faculty members. Methods Sampling was done from October 2019–November 2019. Content and construct validity of the questionnaire were evaluated. Reliability was estimated using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients and composite reliability. The construct validity of nursing student's perceived incivility was investigated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Results Content validity index 0.88 for the whole instrument. The three factors of violent behaviours, irresponsible behaviours and unsound behaviours explained more than 51.485% of the variance. Factor structure extracted using model fit indices (PCFI = 0.763, PNFI = 0.732, CMIN/DF = 2.501, RMSEA = 0.056, GFI = 0.941, AGFI = 0.918, CFI = 0.935) and convergent validity were also confirmed. Internal consistency and composite reliability were estimated to be more than 0.7. The results showed that Iranian perceived nursing student's incivility questionnaire is a three‐dimensional construct with good validity and reliability.

Objective Faculty incivility is a growing problem in nursing schools that disrupts the learning process and affects nursing care of patients. Fostering and managing faculty incivility requires knowing this problem using a valid and reliable instrument. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire in the Iranian community. Methods In this methodological study, the participants involved were 357 nursing students. They were selected between October and December 2019. The faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire was evaluated in terms of content and construct validity. McDonald’s omega and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were calculated. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to evaluate the construct validity of the questionnaire. Results The content validity index (CVI) was 0.86–0.91 for the items and 0.87 for the whole instrument. In factor analysis, two factors of violent and irresponsible behaviors were extracted. These factors explained >41.769% of the variance. Model fit indices (Parsimonious Comparative Fit Index [PCFI] = 0.783, Parsimonious Normed Fit Index [PNFI] = 0.756, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.051, Goodness-of-Fit Index [GFI] = 0.955, Adjusted Goodness-of-Fit Index [AGFI] = 0.932, Comparative Fit Index [CFI] = 0.955, χ2/df = 2.26) indicated the proportion of factors. Internal consistency was 0.87–0.93. Conclusions Faculty’s perceived incivility questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool with two factors that can be used to evaluate the incivility in Iranian faculty members.

Background: Incivility in nursing education is a complex concept that is not exactly defined in nursing. The purpose of this study was to clarify the concept of incivility in nursing education in the Iranian cultural context. Materials and Methods: Concept analysis was performed based on hybrid model in three steps. In the theoretical phase, a review of studies was conducted from 2000 to 2020. During the fieldwork, 7 nursing faculty members and 9 nursing students were interviewed. The third phase included the comparison of the themes that were extracted from the two previous phases. Results: From the 1250 titles, 45 articles were analyzed. Review of literature showed that incivility has several attributes: unconventional communication, irresponsible and disrespectful behavior. The fieldwork phase added unmanaged behavior and being contrary to academic goal. Conclusions: Defining the concept of incivility in nursing education refers to an unconventional, disrespectful, unmanaged behavior that is contrary to the academic goal of nursing education and results from individual differences, stress, improper application of technology, and inappropriate role models which, by creating an unsafe learning condition leads to harming the individual, organization and profession. Here, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the incivility in nursing education that can be used in instrumentation, model building, and development of theory.
