〔Aims〕We developed a scale to measure learning achievement from on-site training in students of three-year nursing program, and assessed its reliability and validity.
〔Methods〕A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted from September 2014 and January 2015, with 533 third-year students of three-year nursing schools. We conducted a factor analysis and examined the scale’s content validity，criterion-related validity, construct validity， Cronbach’s alpha, and reproducibility.
〔Results〕The recovery rate of the survey was 81.2% and the effective response rate was 81.8%. The factor analysis led to the development of the “Learning Achievement Scale for On-site Training,” which comprised the following two factors: [acquisition of knowledge and actions toward development of the nursing process based on the individuality of patients] and [acquisition of a sense of self growth in those aiming to become nurses]. The Cronbach’s alpha ranged from .856 to .926. The group with a higher score on the scale had significantly higher scores on sense of satisfaction, motivation to learn, and learning activities. The correlation with reproducibility was .872.
〔Conclusions〕The Learning Achievement Scale for On-site Training revealed that nursing training is essential for the nursing process and for building relationships.
The present findings confirmed the reliability and validity of the scale.
