Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a psychiatric nurses' image scale (PSYNIS) for evaluation on image of psychiatric nurses in Korean nursing students and to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. Methods: A methodological study design with an exploratory factor analysis, Pearson's correlation, confirmative factor analysis, and a fitness of the modified mode for validity. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability was used. The subjects of this study were a total of 426 nursing students, residing in Gwangju and Jeollanamdo. Data were collected during the period from Nov. 10 to Dec. 23, 2009. In developing this instrument, the researcher first established a conceptual framework based on the literature review and interview. Responses were obtained from the respondents through a self-reporting method and each item had a possible score of 5. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS-WIN 15.0 and LISREL 8.54 program. Results: The 26 items making up the instrument were classified into the following 4 factors: 'Professionalism', 'Communication competence', 'Activism', 'Coordination competence'. These factors explained 65.8% of the total variance. The fitness of the modified mode was good (χ2= 1052.30, RMSEA=.05, GFI=.90, AGFI=.86, NFI=.97, and CFI=.98). The reliability of the PSYNIS was .96 (Cronbach's alpha). Conclusion: The results of present study suggest that the PSYNIS may be useful for efficiently evaluation on image of psychiatric nurses in Korean nursing students.
