Abstract:
Objective:To translate the Providing Mouth Care Scale (PMCs) into Chinese, and apply it to nurses to test its reliability and validity.Methods:From November to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 250 nurses from six ClassⅢ hospitals in Hebei Province as research objects to participate in the survey. The scale was translated according to the Brislin process, and the scale was culturally adjusted on the basis of expert consultation and pre-investigation to form the Chinese version of PMCs. The Chinese version of PMCs was used to survey nurses to measure the reliability and validity. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 223 questionnaires were effectively recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 89.2% (223/250) .Results:The Chinese version of PMCs consisted of two subscales, self-efficacy (SE-PMC) and attitude (A-PMC) . SE-PMC contained three dimensions, and A-PMC contained two dimensions, a total of 21 items. The content validity index of PMCs was 0.930, and the Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.807, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.893. A total of 5 common factors were extracted, and the cumulative variance contribution rates were all >50%.Conclusions:The Chinese version of PMCs has good reliability and validity, and can be used to measure nurses' attitudes and self-efficacy towards oral health management.
