    Psychometric assessment of the Communication Skills Scale among Peruvian nurses and factors associated with job insecurity
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-12-22)
    Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Communication Skills Scale (CSS) among Peruvian nurses, as well as the factors associated with job insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We explored five models of confirmatory factor analysis for the CSS and its four subscales and assessed the convergent validity and criterion validity of the scale by analyzing its connection with job insecurity through stepwise multiple regression. We used insights from a focus group for the cultural adaptation of the scale. In the psychometric phase, 225 nurses participated through a virtual survey. Results: The psychometric analysis revealed that the CSS and its subscales have a robust internal structure—similar to the original questionnaire—and are optimally reliable in the Peruvian population. Furthermore, the results show that job insecurity was associated with contract type, communication skills, empathy, and job satisfaction. Conclusions: The CSS and its subscales are valid and reliable to be applied to Peruvian nurses. Initiatives should be undertaken to strengthen communication skills and increase job satisfaction among nursing professionals by improving their working conditions, especially in times of crisis, to reduce job insecurity and promote well-being.

    Psychometric Validation of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale 10 in Peruvian Nurses and Its Association with Stress and Empathy
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026-04-01)
    Background: This study aims to psychometrically validate the abbreviated version of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) in Peruvian nurses, evaluating its convergent validity through its association with perceived stress and empathy. Methods: A cross-sectional psychometric study was conducted in 374 Peruvian nurses to evaluate the psychometric properties of CD-RISC-10 through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Furthermore, concurrent validity was assessed through correlational analysis using Spearman's rho coefficient to evaluate the relationships among resilience, perceived stress, and empathy. Results: The CFA supported the predominantly one-dimensional model showing an adequate fit when the residual covariance between Items 4 and 7 was specified after correlating the residuals of Items 4 and 7 (CFI = 0.978, TLI = 0.971, RMSEA = 0.080, and SRMR = 0.044). Ordinal Cronbach's alpha of 0.89 and McDonald's omega of 0.81 were obtained. Concurrent validity showed significant correlations with perceived stress (rho = −0.53, p < 0.001) and empathy (rho = 0.31, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The CD-RISC-10 has adequate psychometric properties in Peruvian nurses. Future studies are needed to evaluate its factorial invariance between clinical specialties and establish normative thresholds.
