ABSTRACT
Background and

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to describe the process for developing a reliable and valid survey instrument guided by the protection motivation theory (PMT) to evaluate nurses' health behaviors toward an infectious disease such as Ebola.

Methods:

The instrument was developed and tested through a systematic process that included a literature review, focus group, validity testing, and reliability testing.

Results:

The outcome variable, protection motivation, contained two elements, determined by principal component analysis. The instrument's internal consistency had a Cronbach's alpha of .80 or greater.

Conclusion:

The development and testing of an instrument based on PMT constructs as the theoretical framework have demonstrated a relationship between the perceived threat toward the disease and the proposed coping process needed to address the disease.
