Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to develop a nursing intervention list for family caregivers. The specific steps were as follows: 1. Analyze the concept, Soobal, based on literature review and case observation. 2. Generate an initial list of defining activities for 'Caregiver Support : Soobal'. 3. Validate the defining activities. 4. Complete the final list of defining activities. A two-round Delphi questionnaire with an adaptation of Fehring's methodology was used to establish the content validity of intervention, Caregiver Support : Soobal. The definition of 'Caregiver Support : Soobal' was provision of the necessary information advocacy, and support to facilitate primary patient care by someone other than a health care professional in Korean traditional manners. Ten nurse experts participated in Round I and II of this study. They were asked to rate activities that exemplified the interventions on a scale of 1(activity is not all characteristic) to 515 'critical' activities and 10 'supporting' activities, while round II contained 16 'critical' activities and 6 'supporting' activities. No activities were considered to be 'nonsupporting' in both round I and II. Finally, the definition and 25 defining activities were developed. Intervention, Caregiver Support : Soobal, attained an ICV score of .82. This study provides a protocol model to develop Korean nursing interventions.
