Ethical Awareness Scale: Replication Testing, Invariance Analysis, and Implications.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the EAS is a psychometrically sound and meaningful measure of EA in critical care nurses with item difficulty estimates that are invariant across samples. A raw score on the EAS can be practically interpreted, given the theoretical description of what a nurse at each level of the scale's continuum may "look" like in terms of EA using the diagnostic interpretation table. These findings have implications for nursing education and practice. PMID: 31580779 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
