Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index Revised for Air Force Nurses (READI-R-AFN) and READI-R-AFN Short Form (SF): Psychometric Evaluation

Abstract

The Air Force (AF) mandates Medical Service maintain readiness for potential deployments. Reineck (1996; 1998) developed, tested and revised the Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index (READI) to assess Army nurses' preparedness for short-notice deployments. Six dimensions of Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) include: Clinical Competency; Operational Competency; Soldier Survival Skills; Personal/PsychosociaI/ Physical Readiness; Leadership and Administrative Support; and Group Integration and Identification. No instrument was available to assess preparedness of Air Force nurses. Purpose: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index Revised for Air Force Nurses (READI-R-AFN), and from analyses, derive and evaluate the READI-R-AFN Short Form SF in a large sample of Air Force nurses.
