Good Afternoon Brains-trust!
I have a question relating to conducting a pilot test - retest to examine rater reliability.
I sent a pilot test to a group of 19 nurses to ascertain the stability of the tool over time. The tool itself has three questions. Question one then is further broken down into 15 questions, Question 2 has 6 questions and Question 3 has 13 questions.
Do I have to complete a Spearman's rho on each of the questions or can I use a cumulative score for each group of questions. Not sure if I am making myself 100% clear with my question and I apologise in advance.
If there is an article that you can direct me to in relation to the approach I want to take which is only three tests per nurse rather than many more....I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you in advance
Carol
Testing and retesting reliability is to see if the questionnaire is reliable; for example, give the same questionnaire to the different students in the class simultaneously, and the result must be the same.
