Abstract:
Objective To develop a Self-Report Scale of Symptoms for Post Intensive Care Syndrome-Family(PICS-F)and validate its reliability and validity,providing a scientific tool for healthcare professionals to comprehensively assess post intensive care syndrome-family.Methods Based on the symptom experience dimension of Symptom Management Theory,a preliminary version of the scale was developed through literature analysis,semi-structured interviews,expert consultations,and a pilot survey.A convenience sampling method was used to conduct the pre-trial version of the scale questionnaire survey on 442 family members of ICU patients at a tertiary A comprehensive hospital in Wuhan from June to September 2024.The test of the validity and reliability was conducted.Results The developed scale consists of 4 dimensions and 20 items.Exploratory factor analysis identified 4 factors,with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 70.921％.The content validity index at the scale level was 0.941,and the content validity indices for individual items ranged from 0.809 to 1.000.Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model fit indices were within acceptable ranges.The overall Cronbach's αcoefficient for the scale was 0.941,and the split-half reliability was 0.832.Conclusion The Self-Report Scale of Symptoms for PICS-F demonstrates good reliability and validity.It can comprehensively reflect the primary symptoms of PICS-F,and can serve as an effective measurement tool for clinicians to assess PICS-F in family members of ICU patients.
