Mashup Score: 5What is construct validity? - 2 day(s) ago
Quantitative nursing research is often reliant on measurement of phenomena. In some studies, there may be measurement of objective data such as height, weight and heart rate. In others though, researchers may have to develop bespoke measurement tools or scales that seek to quantify more abstract phenomena. For example, nurse researchers have previously developed tools that measure health professionals’ compassion for caring1 or the stigma of COVID-19 infection in healthcare workers.2 In these cases, those ideas at the heart of the studies—compassion and stigma—are constructs , terms that we use to describe concepts within broader theories. When researching constructs such as compassion or stigma, any measurement tools we use need to demonstrate high levels of validity —that is, they need to measure what they are designed to measure. A failure to ensure—or insufficient evidence of—the validity of measurement tools is a common source of bias in published research.3 The more subjective an

J Adv Nurs , 00, 1–13. (2023) https://doi.org/10.1111/jan.15947 ### Implications for practice and research High-secure mental health hospitals, also known as high-secure forensic hospitals, are a specialism within mental healthcare.1 They have the dual role of providing a safe healthcare environment and a secure setting for individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions and behaviour that is considered extremely dangerous or high risk.2 Mental health nurses (MHNs) play a key role in providing healthcare and maintaining a high level of security within secure mental health services. However, the setting …
