      of the Work Environment in a National Sample of Infection Preventionists.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Health care-associated infections (HAIs) are leading causes of 
      morbidity and mortality. Prevention of HAIs requires multifaceted approaches that 
      consider the work environment in which interventions are implemented. PURPOSE: 
      This study assessed the construct validity of the Relational Coordination Survey 
      (RCS) as a measure of the work environment in infection prevention departments. 
      METHODS: Data were obtained from 614 infection preventionists (IPs). Factor 
      analysis and structural equation modeling tested the hypothesized model. RESULTS: 
      Cronbach's alpha for the 28-item RCS was .91. Factor analyses confirmed a 
      four-factor solution that explained 58.17% of the variance. The fit indices for 
      the model indicated an adequate fit, chi(2)(346) = 699.38, p < .00; comparative fit 
      index = .94; root mean square error of approximation = .06. CONCLUSIONS: The RCS 
      may be a useful tool for measuring aspects of the work environment for IPs.
