Key Points

The research aims to translate and culturally adapt the Index of Professional Nursing Governance (IPNG) for the German nursing context and validate its psychometric properties.
Conducted a two-phase study with translation, cognitive debriefing, and a cross-sectional survey.
Phase 1 involved forward-backward translation and interviews with clinical nurses.
Phase 2 included a survey of 1090 registered nurses assessed for structural validity and consistency.
CFA affirmed the six-factor model with good fit indices, and most items had factor loadings above 0.70.
Internal consistency was strong, with Cronbach's alpha greater than 0.80.
Significant differences were found in known-groups validity based on age and commitment levels.
