Abstract:
Objective:To develop a scale of caregivers′ knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) on safety precautions of children′s falling from bed in hospital, and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the theory of KAP, the item pool was constructed by literature review and expert consultation. A convenient sampling method was used to investigate 380 caregivers of children admitted to Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in May 2021. The reliability and validity of the scale was tested. Critical ratio method and correlation analysis method were used for item analysis of the scale. Validity analysis was conducted by detecting content validity and construct validity; reliability analysis was conducted by detecting internal consistency reliability and split-half reliability.Results:The formal scale finally developed comprised 17 items in 3 dimensions on knowledge, attitude and practice. The Cronbach′s α coefficient and split-half reliability of the overall scale were 0.739 and 0.841. The content validity of the scale was 0.991, and the content validity of each item was 0.890-1.000. Exploratory factor analysis has extracted 3 common factors, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 60.57%.Conclusion:The scale of caregivers′ KAP on safety precautions of children′s falling from bed in hospital has good reliability and validity, and can be used as a tool to evaluate the knowledge, willingness or behavior of caregivers' participation in preventing falls.
