Abstract

The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory is an instrument which assesses the risk and protective factors behind resilience. However, there is no valid or reliable Persian instrument for measuring resilience amongst nursing students in Iran. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory among nursing students. This methodological study was done in 2017. The participants were 200 nursing students who were randomly recruited from Neyshabur city. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was also assessed through the internal consistency assessment method. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a three-factor structure for the Inventory which accounted for 48.21% of its total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the first-order model. The internal consistency values of the Inventory and its domains were good, confirming its great internal consistency and reliability. The Persian version of the Baruth Protective Factors Inventory was found to have acceptable validity and reliability to assess resilience amongst nursing students. Therefore, the Persian version of The Baruth Protective Factors Inventory can help nursing authorities identify non-resilient students, promote their resilience, and thereby improve their academic and clinical performance. Nursing students’ improved performance can positively affect both the quality of care and patient outcomes.
