Psychometric evaluation of the Persian academic major satisfaction scale (P-AMSS) in Iranian nursing students
Background & Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the validity of the Persian version of the Academic Major Satisfaction Scale (P-AMSS) among Iranian Nursing Students. Material & Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out from January to March 2023.A total of 231 undergraduate nursing students completed demographic information and the P-AMSS.The data were analyzed using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results:The mean ( SD) score of academic major satisfaction among nursing students was 25.47 6.4.The EFA results revealed a single factor that accounted for 63% of the total variance.The CFA results indicated a good fit ( 2(6) = 8.53, p = 0.202, CMIN/DF = 1.422,CFI = 0.99, NFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.99, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.043 [ 0.00;0.1]).The P-AMSS demonstrated good internal consistency and reliability (=0.907;=0.921).Measurement invariance was confirmed across gender. Conclusion:The P-AMSS, consisting of 6 items, is a brief scale with strong psychometric properties suitable for evaluating academic major satisfaction among Iranian nursing students.
