Short Version of the Work Values Scale for Registered Nurses, Midwives, Public Health Nurses, and Licensed Practical Nurses: Development and Evaluation
2025
Overview
Elucidating nurses’ work values will contribute to creating a work environment consistent with individual nurses’ work values and help them overcome challenging situations. This study aimed to create a short version of the Nurses’ Work Values Scale and verify its psychometric properties and usability among nurses, public health nurses, midwives, and licensed practical nurses. The short version was developed in three steps. In Step 1, a 12‐item scale was created from the original 30‐item Nurses’ Work Values Scale via a multidimensional item response theory based on data obtained from 1587 nurses. In Step 2, we modified the wording of the items and verified the scale’s content validity. In Step 3, we obtained new data from 1220 nurses, public health nurses, midwives, and licensed practical nurses who worked in various settings. Subsequently, we verified the psychometric properties of the 12‐item scale. The developed scale made it possible to measure work values among nurses working in hospitals, nursing care facilities, visiting nursing settings, and public health nurses. Simultaneously, the burden of responding to surveys was reduced. In the future, it is hoped that this scale will be used on a large longitudinal cohort of nurses working in various workplaces to track life events and changes in family background, thereby clarifying changes in work values and the factors that influence them. In addition, by knowing nurses’ values, nursing managers can take measures such as adjusting work to match each nurse’s work values. This could help promote alignment between the values of individuals and organizations and reduce turnover rates.
