![]() ![]() PLoS ONE 10(6):Įditor: Kenneth Bond, Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health, CANADA (2015) Reliability and Validity of the Alberta Context Tool (ACT) with Professional Nurses: Findings from a Multi-Study Analysis. This study provides robust evidence forreliability and validity of scores obtained with the Alberta Context Tool when administered to professional nurses.Ĭitation: Squires JE, Hayduk L, Hutchinson AM, Mallick R, Norton PG, Cummings GG, et al. The mean values for each Alberta Context Tool concept increased from low to high levels of research utilization(as hypothesized) further supporting its validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysescoordinated acceptably with the Alberta Context Tool’s proposed latent structure. Item-total correlations exceeded acceptable standards for 56/59items. Cronbach’s alpha exceeded 0.70 for9/10 Alberta Context Tool concepts. Five separate studies (N = 2361 nurses across different care settings) comprised the study sample. The purpose of this study to examine the reliability and validity of scores obtained when the Alberta Context Tool is completed by professional nurses across different healthcare settings. The Alberta Context Tool, comprised of 59 items that tap10 modifiable contextual concepts, was developed to address this gap. Although organizational context is central to evidence-based practice, underdeveloped measurement hindersitsassessment.
