RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To construct the structure equation model for the burden of chronic disease inpatients in primary hos-pital before and after the implementation of zero price policy,and analyze the changes of burden factor loading. METHODS:6 pri-mary hospitals were randomly selected in Danyang,Jiangsu province. The data of hospitalization expenses for chronic diseases(hy-pertension,diabetes,bronchitis)were collected before and after the implementation of zero price policy. Using drug cost,nursing fees,inspection fees and treatment fees as independent variables,hospitalization burden as latent variable,SPSS and AMOS 24.0 software were adopted to establish the model. RESULTS:The burden factor loading of inpatients changed greatly before and after the implementation of zero price policy. χ2=24.586,χ2/df=1.446, RMSEA=0.019,GFI=0.995,AGFI=0.989,CFI=0.988,NFI=0.963 manifested good model fitting. Factor loading of drug cost increased greatly,indicating the burden of inpatients was reduced after the implementation of zero price policy. Factor loading of inspection fees and treatment fees increased significantly,the charac-terization effects of them to the burden of inpatients were enhanced. Factor loading of nursing fees was the lowest,and it had the weakest effects on the burden of inpatients,of which the government should enhance the regulation. CONCLUSIONS:Established model has good reliability and validity. It can reflect the change of burden factor loading of inpatients before and after the implemen-tation of zero price policy.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to provide researchers with a simplified approach to undertaking exploratory factor analysis for the assessment of construct validity. METHODS: All articles published in 2010, 2011, and 2012 in Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing were reviewed and other relevant books and articles were chosen for the review. RESULTS: In this paper, the following were discussed: preliminary analysis process of exploratory factor analysis to examine the sample size, distribution of measured variables, correlation coefficient, and results of KMO measure and Bartlett's test of sphericity. In addition, other areas to be considered in using factor analysis are discussed, including determination of the number of factors, the choice of rotation method or extraction method of the factor structure, and the interpretation of the factor loadings and explained variance. CONCLUSION: Content validity is the degree to which elements of an assessment instrument are relevant to and representative of the targeted construct for a particular assessment purpose. This measurement is difficult and challenging and takes a lot of time. Factor analysis is considered one of the strongest approaches to establishing construct validity and is the most commonly used method for establishing construct validity measured by an instrument.

The principle of corresponding analysis was introduced.The relationship between the content of trace elements and the efficacy of eleven kinds of Chinese materia medica(CMM) was analyzed by the corresponding analysis.The result showed that the corresponding analysis could reveal the relationship between the efficacy of eleven kinds of CMM and the trace elements content that they contain.According to the analysis,the efficacy of CMM was classified.The result shows that the corresponding analysis is a good method for the efficacy analysis of CMM.
