Abstract:
Objective To develop an instrument for measuring family relocation stress scale during patient transferred from ICU. And to provide evidence for ICU health care personnel to assess and deal with the family member′s relocation stress. Methods A draft scale was developed based on the result of related scale abroad, literature review and semi-structured interviews. Delphi method and Classical test theory were used in item selection. Results The degree of experts′ authority in two rounds′consultation were 0.83. The Kendall′s coordination coefficients of importance were 0.36, 0.36 (P<0.05) in dimension and 0.35, 0.37 (P<0.05) in item. Five items were deleted by the statistical analysis with pilot investigation. 6 dimensions (transfer anxiety, environmental changes, disease severity, nursing model changes, the safety of transfer, self-efficacy of care ability) and 20 items consisted the scale. The Cronbach α coefficient was 0.882. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 6 items, accumulated variance contribution rate was 72.226%. Confirmative factor analysis showed χ2/df=1.677, comparative fit index=0.936, Tucker-Lewis index=0.921, root mean square error of approximation=0.061. Conclusions The scale is based on abundant theoretical evidence and reasonable design, with satisfactory reliability and validity. It can be used as the evaluation tool for family relocation stress during patient transferred from ICU.
