One item loaded as passive protection motivation,which examined the emergency nurses' motivation to stay inactive by being hands-off (such as avoiding going to work) when confronted with a situation where a patient might have the Ebola infection. Each of the remaining survey constructs, that is, self-efficacy, response efficacy, response cost, knowledge, outcome expectation, perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, and fear yielded only 1 component with the PCA. To test the reliability of the instrument,internal consistencyand stability were evaluated using a convenience sample of emergency nurses (n= 23) to conduct Cronbach's alpha and Spearman rho correlation respectively. Cronbach's alpha ranged between 0.46 and 0.97, with 6 of the 8 survey constructs having an alpha of 0.80 or greater, which were within the recommended range.24Spearman rho correlation was conducted to assess the stability of responses in each construct at 2 different points in time by examining the statistical significance of the coefficient. Items that had aPvalue less than or equal to 0.05 were removed or modified. The survey had 10 sections comprising items for each construct and demographic questions. The instrument included 6 items on perceived vulnerability, 7 items on perceived severity, 4 items on response efficacy, 5 items on self-efficacy, 7 items on fear, 5 items on response cost, 5 items on protection motivation, and 6 items on outcome expectation, with each item having 5-point
