Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure person-centered perioperative nursing (PCPON) and validate its psychometric properties. METHODS: The preliminary items of the PCPON scale were developed through a literature review, in-depth interviews, and content validity analysis. A total of 459 nurses working in the operating rooms of 21 hospitals in Korea responded to the questionnaire from September to October 2017. The collected data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmative factor analysis (CFA) using SPSS and AMOS programs. RESULTS: The final PCPON scale consists of 20 items. Through EFA, five factors, compassionate interaction, respect, providing comfort, information sharing, and nursing expertise, were derived. The internal consistency of each factor of the PCPON scale, as represented by Cronbach α, was .76–.88. The model fit of the scale was satisfactory, and the items of the scale demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity. CONCLUSION: The evaluation of the new PCPON scale indicated good reliability and validity. The PCPON scale is easy to administer and implies factors of person-centered care. This scale can be used to assess the person-centered care in the perioperative nursing field.
