Abstract

Objectives

Civil environment in nursing education enhances achieving learning outcomes. Addressing incivility can be crucial to improve academic achievements. The purpose of this study was examining the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Incivility in Nursing Education-Revised scale regarding nursing faculty.

Methods

Results

Exploratory factor analysis confirmed the construct validity of the translated Arabic version of the Incivility in Nursing Education-Revised that are related to nursing faculty. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and a coefficient of 0.867 indicated strong scale reliability.

Conclusion

The Arabic version of the Incivility in Nursing Education-Revised scale that is related to nursing faculty is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to evaluate incivility among Arab-speaking nursing faculty.
