The aim of this study was to develop a hand hygiene cognitive scale for novice nurses using the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA).
A questionnaire survey on hand hygiene was administered to 209 nurses working at university hospitals. There were 83 effective responses (39.7%). These were subjected to exploratory factor analysis using maximum likelihood method and Promax rotation, and the five factors structure comprising 20 items, which included the main elements of the HAPA, was obtained.
The cumulative contribution rate was 71.07%. Cronbach's α values for the factors "self-efficacy,""intention,""coping planning,""action planning," and "outcome expectancies" were 0.92, 0.91, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.77, respectively. "Self-efficacy" is related to self-efficacy for practicing hand hygiene, "Intention" is the intention to practice hand hygiene, "coping planning" and "action planning" are concrete plans for practicing hand hygiene, and "outcome anticipation" is the anticipated result of hand hygiene practice. Each item concerning the outcome was included. Confirmatory factor analysis of these factors provided the following results: goodness of fit index = 0.772, adjusted goodness of fit index = 0.703, comparative fit index = 0.910, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.090.
Although there is a need for improvement in the future, this study developed a hand hygiene cognitive scale for novice nurses that included the major elements of the HAPA.
