Abstract

The objectives of this study were 1) to explore the antecedents concerning nursing instructors’ attitude and behavior in strengthening zero tolerance practices in nursing students, 2) to analyze the paths of hypothetical and empirical model of the antecedents concerning nursing instructors’ attitude and behavior in strengthening zero tolerance practices in nursing students, and 3) to examine the canonical correlation between the behaviors in strengthening zero tolerance practices in nursing students and the nursing students’ attitude and behavior of zero tolerance practices. The samples were 104 nursing instructors and 104 nursing students. The instruments consisted of 7 scales for nursing instructors adapted from Keskomon et al.1 and 2 scales for nursing students written by the researchers following Fishbein and Ajzen2. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s product moment and canonical correlation coefficients, and path analysis.

The results were as follows: 1) the mean scores of all variables were quite high, 2) the hypothetical model of the antecedents concerning nursing instructors’ attitude and behavior in strengthening zero tolerance practices in nursing students was fitted with the empirical data (gif.latex?\chi&space;^{2} (df = 10, n = 104) = 12.79, p = .24, NFI = .98, GFI = .97, AGFI = .90, CFI = 1.00, SRMR = .05, RMSEA = .053). 3) There was no statistically significant relationship between the behaviors in strengthening zero tolerance practices in nursing students and the nursing students’ attitude and behavior of zero tolerance practices at the level of .05 (r = .11; R2 = .01)
