- Abstract
Objective: Psychometric validation of the Assessment Instrument of Nursing Graduates. Methods: Cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted in three Nursing Undergraduate Courses located in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Acre, Brazil, with 446 participants. Reliability was tested by Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency and reproducibility) and construct validity was obtained by exploratory factor analysis and principal component analysis. Results: The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the instrument was 0.98; the overall intraclass correlation coefficient (94%) showed strong agreement between measurements. In factor analysis, KMO was 0.971 and the Bartlett's sphericity test showed significant results (p<0.001) for all constructs and correlation matrices between the items of each construct. Conclusion: The psychometric analyzes showed favorable results and a strong internal consistency of the instrument. The Assessment Instrument of Nursing Graduates is valid and reliable to evaluate the professional education of Nursing graduates.
