Abstract:
Objective:To develop the Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) Nursing Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Scale for Primary Caregivers of Patients with PICC, and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:Taking the theory of knowledge, attitude and practice as the basic framework, the item pool was initially constructed through literature review, group discussion, and semi-structured interviews from March to April 2021. From May to July 2021, the initial scale was formed through Delphi expert consultation, and the items of the scale were pre-tested and adjusted through cognitive interviews. From June to October 2021, convenience sampling was used to select the primary caregivers of 450 patients with PICC in a cancer hospital in Hunan Province for a formal survey to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The formal scale consisted of 53 items in 3 dimensions, including 19 items in the knowledge dimension, 8 items in the attitude dimension, and 26 items in the practice dimension. The Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension and the total scale were 0.949, 0.962, 0.972, and 0.981, respectively, and the test-retest reliability coefficients of each dimension and the total scale were 0.951, 0.935, 0.972, and 0.967, respectively. The split-half reliability coefficients of each dimension and the total scale were 0.889, 0.954, 0.889, and 0.882, respectively. The content validity index of the item ranged from 0.82 to 1.00.Conclusions:The reliability and validity of the PICC Nursing Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Scale for Primary Caregivers of Patients with PICC is good, and it can be used as a tool to evaluate the PICC nursing knowledge, attitude, and practice of primary caregivers of patients with PICC.
