Abstract:
Objective:To develop a Pediatric Nursing Care Deficiency Scale (PNCDS) and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on theories of nursing care deficiency and considering pediatric nursing characteristics, the scale was developed following standard procedures and principles. This included semi-structured interviews, expert evaluations, a pilot survey, and a large-scale survey to finalize the scale.Results:The final version of the PNCDS comprised four dimensions with 25 items. The content validity index (CVI) of the overall scale was 0.937, with item-level CVIs ranging from 0.857 to 1.000. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the factor loadings for all items were greater than 0.5, and the four factors accounted for a cumulative variance of 66.456%. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good model fit for the final scale. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient for the scale was 0.917, while the Cronbach's α coefficients for the four dimensions were 0.861, 0.923, 0.881, and 0.909, respectively.Conclusions:The PNCDS demonstrated good reliability and validity and provides a useful tool for assessing pediatric nursing care deficiencies and aiding in the development of intervention strategies.
