Psychometric Evaluation of the Nurses Professional Values Scale-3: Indonesian Version

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Congratulations on the research

The introduction is not well thought out. Much of the content of the introduction refers to information about the questionnaire, which should be covered in the methods section. There is insufficient substantiation of the indications for the use of the questionnaire, it is based mainly on the psychometric properties of the questionnaire and its versions.

 

The initial questionnaire explained in the text was validated in different groups of nurses (students, baccalaureate, professionals,...) Is there any difference in this respect in this current questionnaire that has been validated with a sample of 600 nursing professionals?

Line 75 is written in the future, and is not correct.

What is the possible explanation proposed by the authors for the three factors that finally make up the questionnaire after the factor analysis? Why these three factors? What significance do the authors give to this fact?
