Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals valid performance of two stress scales in nursing students, suggesting the Chinese Student Nurse Stress Index is preferable.

Key Points

To test and compare the reliability, validity, sensitivity, and specificity of the Chinese versions of the Student Nurse Stress Index Scale (SNSI-CHI) and the Stressors in Student Nursing Scale (SINS-CN) among nursing students in China.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey across two nursing schools in Henan Province, China, between August 2017 and January 2018.
Administered questionnaires including SNSI-CHI, SINS-CN, and the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) to evaluate psychometric properties via exploratory factor analysis and ROC curve analysis.
SNSI-CHI showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.90; item-to-total correlations 0.35–0.66), while SINS-CN showed Cronbach's α = 0.93 (item-to-total correlations 0.19–0.61).
Both scales demonstrated good construct validity, with Pearson correlations against CPSS of 0.38 (P < 0.01) for SNSI-CHI and 0.39 (P < 0.01) for SINS-CN.
Using CPSS as criterion, the area under the ROC curve was 0.77 for SNSI-CHI and 0.66 for SINS-CN, indicating superior diagnostic accuracy for SNSI-CHI.
