Abstract:
Objective:To develop a scale on hospice care perception and attitude in family members of critically ill patients, so as to provide a valid tool for measuring the cognition and attitude level of hospice care among family members of critically ill patients.Methods:During May 2022 to 2023, an initial pool of scale entries was formed through the literature analysis method and group discussion. The scale′s first draft was formed by applying the Delphi correspondence method and a small sample pre-survey. The developed scale was administered to 98 family members of critically ill patients in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University to test the reliability and validity of scale.Results:The results of exploratory factor analysis extracted 5 explanatory factors with a cumulative contribution rate of 77.65%. The developed Hospice Care Perceptions and Attitudes of Families of Critically Ill Patients Scale had 19 items. The content validity of 0.922 and a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.816 showed good validity and reliability.Conclusions:The scale has sufficient reliability and can be used to assess cognitive and attitudinal levels of hospice care in family members of critically ill patients.
