Abstract

Stoltz's AQP is a tool to estimate the level of adversity. The purpose of study is to test the reliability and validity of AQP. The participants were 297 nurses of tertiary hospital in Korea. Data were collected from Aug. to Oct. 2013. Resilience Scale was used as criterion of AQP. Cronbach's alpha test, item total correlation, exploratory factor, correlation analysis, and ANOVA test were used. In result, factor analysis was accounted for four factors explaining 56.256% of total variance and corresponding factors were factor 1 (Control, 10.7%), factor 2 (Ownership, 13.7%), factor 3(Reach, 17.4%), factor 4 (Endurance, 14.9%). The internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha=.84). Four factors were positively correlated with RS. AQP is a reliable and valid instrument to measure for adversity quotient in Korean nurse.

AQP는 Stoltz(1997)가 개발한 역경지수 측정도구로 본 연구의 목적은 AQP의 신뢰도 및 타당도를 검증하는데 있다. 연구방법은 방법론적 연구로 상급종합병원 간호사(297명) 대상으로 2013년 8월~10월까지 자료수집을 실시하였다. 준거도구로 Wagnild와 Young(1993)의 Resilience Scale을 이용하였고, 분석방법으로 Cronbach's alpha 계수, item total correlation계수, 요인분석, 상관관계분석, ANOVA test가 실시되었다. 연구결과, 전체 20문항의 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$는 .840으로 나타났으며 KMO 값(.804)과 Bartlett's test of sphericity 결과(${\chi}^2$=2271.915, p=.000)에서 통계적 유의성을 보였다. 요인 추출 결과, 4개가 추출되었고, 총 누적 변량은 56.256%였고 제1요인(개인의 통제력) 10.7%, 제2요인(개인의 주도성) 13.7%, 제3요인(상황의 영향범위) 17.4%, 제4요인(상황의 지속성)이 14.9%의 설명력을 보였다. 준거타당도 검증에서 준거도구와 양의 상관관계가 나타났다. 개인의 역경 극복력을 측정하는데 있어서 AQP가 보다 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대해본다.
