| Summary: | 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 (χ2(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 (α=0.907; ω=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. |
