Separates manager, work-condition and colleague support needs, helping a parent articulate concrete resources for a capable return.
Study context
Nurses returning after childbirth, with qualitative item development, expert consultation and psychometric testing.
Age / stage: Adult postpartum nurses.
Read with three questions
- How were 14 items developed across three support dimensions?
- What do the reported reliability and factor-fit statistics support?
- What additional validation would be needed before comparing different professions or cultures?
Keep the limits in view
Psychometric validity in the study samples is not evidence that using the scale improves retention or wellbeing; response patterns should not become a hiring or fitness test.
