The aim is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Nursing Bodywork Instrument used by registered nurses in acute care settings.
Administered the Nursing Bodywork Instrument via email to a convenience sample of registered nurses.
Used a descriptive design with a seven-point response scale for 121 bodywork items.
Collected 82 completed instruments for analysis of item and subscale scores.
Test-retest reliability showed no significant differences across all items.
Strong positive correlations among the 19 subscales indicate good internal consistency.
Discriminative validity demonstrated significant experience-related differences between new and seasoned nurses on three subscales.
