CHANT Timeline

2017 Development of CHANT

• Drafted items based on review of the literature and researchers’ experience
• Interviewed 10 content experts from across the US and Canada, asking about their reflections on the drafted items and additional input
• Revised items based on feedback

2018 Psychometric Testing of CHANT

• We tested the revised items in 2018 by gathering responses from 600 nurses across the nation through on-line and snowball recruiting.
• Respondents were asked to add comments, which we considered in the revision
• We performed exploratory factor analysis on the 5 scales
• We did not further change the scales, but we edited some of the demographic and frequency questions for clarity
