Abstract EN
Background and Purpose.
In this paper, we present a protocol for advanced psychometric assessments of surveys based on the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing.
We use the Alberta Context Tool (ACT) as an exemplar survey to which this protocol can be applied.
Methods.
Data mapping, acceptability, reliability, and validity are addressed.
Acceptability is assessed with missing data frequencies and the time required to complete the survey.
Reliability is assessed with internal consistency coefficients and information functions.
A unitary approach to validity consisting of accumulating evidence based on instrument content, response processes, internal structure, and relations to other variables is taken.
We also address assessing performance of survey data when aggregated to higher levels (e.g., nursing unit).
Discussion.
In this paper we present a protocol for advanced psychometric assessment of survey data using the Alberta Context Tool (ACT) as an exemplar survey; application of the protocol to the ACT survey is underway.
Psychometric assessment of any survey is essential to obtaining reliable and valid research findings.
This protocol can be adapted for use with any nursing survey.
