Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the reliability and validity of Chinese version of Postoperative Pain Assessment Nursing Practice Questionnaire (PPA-NPQ).MethodsA forward-backward translation procedure was followed to develop the Chinese version of PPA-NPQ.A total of 258 surgical nurses were investigated by the revised Chinese version dimensions of PPA-NPQ,then the results were tested on reliability and validity by SPSS17.0.ResultsThe cronbach's α of the Chinese version of PPA-NPQ was 0.889.The split- half coefficient and testretest reliability of PPA-NPQ were 0.729,0.875 respectively ; the Cronbach's a,split- half coefficient and test-retest reliability of each sub-scale were ranged from 0.820-0.857,0.797-0.862,0.846-0.902 respectively.The correlation between each sub-scale and total scale were ranged from 0.704-0.818 (P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionThe revised Chinese PPA-NPQ is reliable and valid,and can be used to test the level of postoperative pain assessment practice by surgical nurse.
