Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the nursing students' perception of instructor caring (NSPIC) scale developed by Wade and Kasper for nursing students. We collected data from 219 nursing students in the 3rd to 4th year at three nursing colleges from June 4 to June 20, 2018. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0. An exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation was performed, resulting in five factors (respectful sharing, confidence through caring, control versus flexibility, supportive learning climate, appreciation of life's meanings) with a total of 27 items. Confirmatory factor analysis supported good convergent and discriminant validities. In addition, the concurrent validity test confirmed that the K-NSPIC scale was a validity tool as the correlation of the clinical learning environment (CLE) scale appeared as r=.64 (p<.001). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the K-NSPIC was .88, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for each of the five factors was .91, .86, .80, .76, and .85; internal consistency was confirmed. It is significant that the K-NSPIC proved applicable as a useful tool for assessing instructor caring. It is also expected that it will assist in the design of programs to improve the caring ability of instructors.
