Abstract:
Objective:To develop a quality assessment scale of ICU transitional care based on patient-reported outcomes and test its performance.Methods:According to the guidelines of patient-reported outcomes development process, the item pool was established combining with analysis of relevant literatures and patients′ experience and needs in ICU transitional period based on the grounded theory about ICU transitional care. Cognitive test of patients and Delphi expert correspondence were utilized to amend the initial scale before pretest. One hundred and seventy-seven patients who had been transferred from ICU to general ward from March to August 2019 in Tianjin Third Central Hospital were recruited by convenience sampling method for project analysis.Results:The active coefficient and authority degree of expert were above 0.90 and 0.785 respectively for the two rounds of expert enquiry. The final scale consisted of 28 items, from which 4 principal factors, which were preparation for self-care, communication and coordination, psychological support and health belief, respectively, were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, explaining 78.307% of total variance. The content validity index of each item was 0.769-1.000, and the scale-level content validity was 0.896. The Cronbach α coefficients of the 4 factors and the scale were 0.844, 0.793, 0.897, 0.681 and 0.807, respectively.Conclusions:The patient-reported outcomes scale measuring ICU transitional care quality has good reliability and validity and can be used as an auxiliary tool measuring ICU transitional care quality in clinic.
