Development and validation of measures of pharmacists' acceptability and willingness to screen for perinatal depression. Res Social Adm Pharm 2024; 20:995-1005. [PMID: 38972786 DOI: 10.1016/j.sapharm.2024.06.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While pharmacists' roles in mental healthcare are expanding, research exploring pharmacists' acceptability and willingness to provide mental health services is limited. This study developed and validated theory-driven measures of pharmacists' acceptability and willingness to screen for perinatal depression in community pharmacy settings. MATERIALS/METHODS Items were developed using published literature and the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA), then content validated using consensus methods with experts who completed the content validity index (CVI). The revised items were disseminated to pharmacists in Australia. Responses were analysed descriptively. Exploratory factor analyses (EFA) were used to explore the factorial structure and generate scales. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to explore predictors of willingness. RESULTS A 58-item questionnaire was developed, encompassing the 7 domains of the TFA and an eighth domain (willingness). The average CVI was 0.92, domain range (0.88-0.96). The universal CVI was 56/58. Expert feedback informed item revision, creation and deletion. Pharmacists' responses (n = 157) to the final 42-item questionnaire indicated overall acceptance and willingness to conduct PND screening. However, perceived knowledge was lacking. The EFA resulted a two-factor solution (1 = acceptance; 2 = self-efficacy). The measurement scales created had good internal consistency. In multivariate regression analysis, 'Acceptance' (Beta = 0.949 (0.760-1.103)) and 'Self-Efficacy' (Beta = 0.107 (0.036-0.174)) were significant predictors of 'Willingness' and the model predicted 77 % of the variation in 'Willingness'. CONCLUSIONS Psychometrically-sound measures of pharmacists' acceptability and willingness to screen for PND have been developed with stakeholder input. The questionnaire can be used for standardised measurement of these constructs across studies.

[PMID: 38734526 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmn.2024.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Nurses' Cancer Pain Management Competency Scale (NCPMCS) is a tool to explore nurses' competencies and subjective experiences in cancer pain management, and to help nurses understand their current shortcomings in cancer pain management. The scale, currently available only in English and translated into Chinese for wider adoption abroad, provides a tool for Chinese nurses to assess their level of cancer pain management. Furthermore, based on the scale's specific score, they can evaluate their lack of understanding about cancer pain management, advance research into this area, and enhance their capacity to control cancer pain while providing patient care. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to translate and localize the new scale, and to measure its reliability and validity. The study was also to provide a way to quickly and accurately measure the competency of cancer pain management among nursing staff in China. METHODS The Bristling translation approach was used to translate, translate back, and culturally modify the English version of the cancer pain management competency scale for nurses to create the Chinese version. A convenience sample was used for the study, 220 clinical nurses from three Grade III hospitals in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, were chosen by convenience sampling. The Chinese version of the scale was used for this investigation. RESULTS The Cancer Pain Management Competency Scale for Nurses has 14 items over 4 dimensions in its Chinese form. From the exploratory factor analysis, four common components were recovered; the cumulative variance rate was 81.994%, the scale's Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.902, and the Cronbach's α coefficient for each dimension ranged from 0.800 to 0.938. Retest reliability was 0.915, scale content validity was 0.865, and Spearman-Brown's broken half reliability was 0.808. CONCLUSION Nurses' cancer pain management competency in clinics can be assessed using the Chinese version of the Nurses' Cancer Pain Management Competency Scale, which has strong validity and reliability.

[PMID: 39374194 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pdig.0000626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 10/09/2024]
Abstract
Digital transformation has led to an abundance of digital health technologies (DHTs) readily available for Physiotherapists. In July 2020, the Physiotherapy department at a London NHS Trust implemented a mobile health (mHealth) exercise application (app), Physitrack. This service evaluation aims to evaluate patient experience and identify any barriers to using Physitrack/PhysiApp in musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy. An online experience survey was sent to 10,287 MSK Physiotherapy patients who had appointments between January 17th and April 9th 2022.The survey received 1,447 responses (response rate: 14.07%), with 954 (65.93%) respondents previously provided PhysiApp as part of their Physiotherapy management. Most participants used PhysiApp (83.06%), found it easy to use (82.20%) and had positive perceptions on how it added value to their Physiotherapy treatment through its functionality. However, negative impacts on patient-centred care and practical exercise demonstration were apparent in the qualitative results. Key barriers to use included suboptimal explanation, digital exclusion, registration/ login issues and opinion that PhysiApp was superfluous to Physiotherapy treatment. These differed to the main barriers of why participants stopped using/ used PhysiApp less: if they were confident exercising without it, their condition improved/ resolved, loss of motivation, their exercise programme ended or if they found their exercise programme was unsuitable. Despite multiple interdependent factors influencing patient experience and barriers of using PhysiApp, the survey results revealed the significant influence that is exerted by MSK Physiotherapists. The patient-physiotherapist interaction can positively or negatively impact upon many barriers of use and the subsequent potential added value of PhysiApp to MSK Physiotherapy treatment. Future research should focus on those at most risk of digital exclusion and health inequalities, exploring their barriers to using mHealth apps and other DHTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lupus nephritis (LN), a severe organ manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), significantly impacts health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) and Lupus Quality of Life (LupusQoL) have been validated to measure HRQoL in SLE, but not specifically in LN. Patient-reported symptoms of LN are not well-reported. We assessed the content validity and relevance of these measures in evaluating patients with LN and their LN-related experiences. METHODS This qualitative, interview-based study enrolled patients with LN from three US sites from a larger, retrospective survey study. The interview comprised an open-ended concept elicitation part and a more structured cognitive part. Concept elicitation was used to identify relevant themes describing the patients' experiences. Patients were asked to describe their LN-related symptoms, the severity and impact of those symptoms and their satisfaction with treatment. A cognitive interview approach evaluated the appropriate understanding of the items, instructions, and response options and asked patients about their understanding of the FACIT-Fatigue or LupusQoL measures, their relevance to the condition, and any aspects of confusion or need for better clarity of the questionnaires. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. The concept elicitation data were coded, while the cognitive interview data were tabulated to present the participants' responses next to the interview questions to support the evaluation of their understanding of the questionnaire items. RESULTS Overall, 10 patients participated in FACIT-Fatigue and another 10 in LupusQoL interviews; 18 patients were female, 10 were Black (self-reported) and 17 were receiving maintenance treatment for LN with stable disease activity. When patients recalled their symptoms, 670 expressions of varying symptoms were reported. All patients described pain, discomfort, and energy-related symptoms. Urinary frequency and non-joint swelling were most frequently attributed to LN rather than SLE. Patients felt the questions asked in the FACIT-Fatigue and LupusQoL surveys were relevant to their LN experience. CONCLUSIONS The symptoms reported by patients with LN were consistent with symptoms reported by the overall SLE population. However, patients indicated that some symptoms of LN were more profound than symptoms of SLE alone, affecting a broad range of areas of daily life activity and resulting in a higher burden on their HRQoL. FACIT-Fatigue and LupusQoL demonstrated content relevance as meaningful tools for patients with LN. However, further quantitative data collection is needed to ensure that these patient-reported outcome tools demonstrate good measurement properties in an LN population.

Abstract
The Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) Questionnaire could help investigate whether there are misconceptions, positive attitudes, and adequate practice in people with gout about exercise and exergames. The study aims to develop and validate the KAP questionnaire regarding exercise and exergames for obese patients with gout to understand gout 'patients' awareness level of exercise and perception of exergames. The development and validation of the questionnaire involved two phases: (1) development of the instrument and (2) judgment of the instrument through calculating the content validity by the expert panel and using SPSS version 28 to examine the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and structural validity of the instrument. After the first phase of instrument development, an initial questionnaire consisting of six parts with 35 items was identified. After the content validation of the second phase, 11 items with a content validity ratio (CVR) value below 0.99 were eliminated, 3 items were rephrased, 2 items that mixed two statements were divided, and 15 items were added based on the original instrument. In addition, in the factor analysis, five items within the knowledge domain with factor loadings below 0.4 were removed. The final questionnaire was examined and demonstrated acceptable content validity, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity.

A survey of individuals seeking private primary care for a musculoskeletal disorder. Musculoskelet Sci Pract 2024; 74:103195. [PMID: 39348727 DOI: 10.1016/j.msksp.2024.103195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/25/2024] [Indexed: 10/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physiotherapists often inconsistently adhere to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) when managing musculoskeletal disorders (MSKDs), potentially due to discrepancies between patient-valued interventions and guideline recommendations. Since patients' expectations are important predictors of outcome, this disparity between CPGs recommendations and patient preferences could be problematic for the effective care of MSKDs. OBJECTIVES To assess patients' expectations and preferences for the interventions used in their MSKD management and to establish correspondence rates between patients' preferences and recommendations from CPGs. DESIGN Survey. METHOD This cross-sectional descriptive study included a survey on sociodemographics, preferences, and expectations towards interventions for their MSKD, acceptable cost of care, number of treatment sessions required, and their involvement in their MSKD management. RESULTS One hundred and fifty participants (94 women and 56 men; mean age: 51 ± 17) responded to the survey. Eighty percent of respondents expected their involvement in their MSKD management to be equal to or superior than that of the physiotherapist. Sixty-nine percent of respondents expected to receive exercises, and 67% expected to receive education. Based on preference ratings, 95% of respondents chose recommended interventions, 57% chose interventions with uncertain levels of recommendation, and 48% chose interventions not recommended by CPGs. CONCLUSION Less than 70% of participants expected to receive education and exercises, the two most frequently recommended interventions by CPGs. On the other hand, the majority of respondents indicated that their involvement should be equal to or superior than that of the physiotherapist. This aligns with CPGs, which advocate for active and self-management strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder in pediatrics. Depression is an often underdetected comorbidity in childhood epilepsy. This study aimed to adapt the Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory-Epilepsy for Youth (NDDI-E-Y) to the Indonesian language and population, as well as to validate the Indonesian version of NDDI-E-Y (NDDI-E-Y[ID]). METHODS This three-stage study comprised instrument translation, cultural verification, and content validity testing (first stage), pilot testing (second stage), followed by concurrent validity and reliability testing (third stage) of the NDDI-E-Y(ID). Validation was done against the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale - Revised (CESD-R). Content validity, assessed by six experts, was quantified using the content validity index for items (I-CVI) and scale (S-CVI). Participants were adolescents aged 12-17 years diagnosed with any type of epilepsy who completed both instruments. Concurrent validity was evaluated using Spearman's correlation and reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS The first stage produced a culturally appropriate NDDI-E-Y(ID). Thirty healthy adolescents and 10 adolescents with epilepsy participated in the second stage. In the third stage, another group of 30 adolescents with epilepsy took part. We obtained I-CVI and S-CVI values averaging 1. The NDDI-E-Y(ID) showed a positive and significant correlation with CESD-R (Spearman's rho = 0.671, p < 0.001). A Cronbach's alpha of 0.928 reflected a high internal consistency. SIGNIFICANCE Based on the results, the NDDI-E-Y(ID) was found to be a valid and reliable screening instrument for detecting depression in youth with epilepsy. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY Depression is an under-recognized problem in youth with epilepsy. Currently available depression screening tools are in English, making it less suitable for detection purposes in Indonesia. This study developed and validated the Indonesian version of the NDDI-E-Y, a depression screening tool for youth with epilepsy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The diversity of authors in orthopaedic literature is fundamental to the distribution of unique discoveries, innovations, and advancements. The purpose of the current study was to create and validate a comprehensive Author Diversity Scoring System (ADSS) to quantify authorship diversity in orthopaedic manuscripts. METHODS Six items were included in the initial ADSS. The ADSS and associated survey were sent to 120 experts to evaluate the clarity, simplicity, and relevancy its components. Responses were used to validate the ADSS using Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI). RESULTS The initial ADSS contained author gender, ethnicity, academic rank/title, country of origin of the article, affiliated institution, and the publication history of the senior/corresponding author as representative items. Subsequently, 21 experts completed the survey (response rate 17.5%). Following validation, the final ADSS included author gender, ethnicity, and region of article origin, scored cumulatively on a 0-30 point scale with increasing scores indicating greater author diversity. CONCLUSION The validated ADSS scoring system quantitatively assesses manuscript author diversity.

Abstract
There is a recognized need to improve inclusive learning environments for autistic children in primary school settings in Sweden. This study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and assess the content validity of the Swedish primary school version of the Autism Program Environment Scale (APERS), originally developed to evaluate autism program quality in educational settings in the United States. Following the translation into Swedish and the first cultural adaptation of the APERS, a content panel group of 14 professionals rated its content validity. Four of the content panel members also participated in individual interviews that provided a qualitative evaluation of the instrument's content validity. Finally, the authors piloted the APERS in 10 Swedish primary school classrooms to assess its feasibility. The ratings and qualitative information from the content panel members indicated a substantial need for the Swedish APERS in primary school, resulting in the culturally adapted APERS-Primary-Sweden (SE). The instrument demonstrated a high level of cross-cultural content validity for assessing the quality of the learning environment for students with autism in Swedish primary school settings. The pilot testing of the instrument resulted in further cultural adaptations. In conclusion, APERS-Primary-SE is a comprehensive scale that can be used to assess the quality of primary school learning environments for children with autism in Sweden. Further research is needed to evaluate the adapted instrument's effectiveness in improving the learning environment in Swedish primary school classrooms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Global fertility rates are declining due to metabolic and mental health challenges in women trying to conceive. The Healthy Early Life Moments in Singapore (HELMS) program aims to address these challenges through mobile health (mHealth)-enabled lifestyle interventions. However, the lack of validated evaluation tools for such programs makes it difficult to assess their feasibility and acceptability. To tackle this, a comprehensive evaluation questionnaire was developed and validated to determine if the HELMS preconception program's implementation outcomes were achieved. METHODS The questionnaire development process included a literature review and a two-step validation process: content validation by five content experts and face validation by 20 HELMS participants. Content validation was assessed using the scale content validity index (S-CVI) based on relevance, clarity, simplicity, and ambiguity. Face validation with participants evaluated these criteria and the ease of completing the questionnaire. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha among 49 participants. RESULTS The questionnaire achieved good S-CVI values for relevance (0.93), clarity (0.91), simplicity (0.94), and ambiguity (0.71). After expert feedback, the revised version scored highly among HELMS participants for relevance (100%), clarity (95%), simplicity (95%), and non-ambiguity (90%). A Cronbach's alpha of 0.93 indicated good internal consistency. CONCLUSION The HELMS evaluation questionnaire shows promise for evaluating similar mHealth-based lifestyle intervention programs globally.

[PMID: 39288121 PMCID: PMC11407639 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0310555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The cervical cancer (CC) incidence rate is increasing among young women aged <50 years despite early screening is proven effective. Electronic health (e-health) has great potential for disseminating health education. METHODS This study validated a newly developed e-health tool "SeDAR®" and assessed its usability via evaluations by health experts (HE), media experts (ME), and women. The SeDAR® content was developed based on protection motivation theory (PMT) using the nominal group technique and in-depth interviews that involved HE and women, respectively. Content validation was performed among the HE (n = 12) and ME (n = 5) using the content validation index (CVI) to identify their agreement. Subsequently, the Video Engagement Scale (VES®) was used to validate SeDAR® among women of different ethnicities (n = 11) to achieve ecological validity. The experts and women also commented on the presentation of the video. RESULTS The validation yielded a good CVI among the HE (scale-level CVI-average [SCVI/Ave] = 0.986; scale-level CVI-universal agreement [SCVI/UA] = 0.900) and ME (SCVI/Ave = 0.979, SCVI/UA = 0.897). The highest VES® score [mean (±SD) = 92.90(±3.46)] proved the ecological validity of SeDAR®. The experts' feedback established that SeDAR® conveyed a clear message about awareness of performing CC screening and was suitable for public viewing. The women considered SeDAR® easy to understand, and it advised early exposure for early CC screening. CONCLUSIONS SeDAR® was valid and could constitute an important e-health tool to improve motivation and uptake of CC screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the relevance of a set of clinical elements to represent the content domain of the nursing diagnosis Ineffective Protection. DESIGN AND METHODS This study employed content validation, using expert judgment to assess the appropriateness of clinical indicators, etiological factors, and conceptual and operational definitions, integrating the collective wisdom framework, the theory of predictive diversity, and the determination of rater skill level. RESULTS From the middle range theory, 28 clinical indicators and 17 etiological factors were identified, which were rated by 34 raters. The analysis showed that the clinical indicators restlessness and insomnia and the etiological factors ambient temperature and humidity were not considered relevant for the nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Protection, because the median content validity index was lower than 0.9. CONCLUSIONS Content validation verified that most of the components of the nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Protection were considered relevant by judges. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS It is believed that the data obtained can help nurses to more easily evaluate the related factors and clinical indicators of Ineffective Protection presented by adolescents with cancer, which favors the process of diagnostic inference.

Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Early and comprehensive risk identification is essential for identifying individuals at high risk for stroke. This study aimed to evaluate each question in the new Stroke Risk Screening Scales (SRSS) and assess the domains for content relevance and representativeness. Initially, six stroke experts were invited to evaluate the SRSS questions. The content validity index (CVI), including the item-CVI (I-CVI) and the average-CVI (Ave-CVI), was then calculated. In our study, the acceptable standards for I-CVI and Ave-CVI were ≥0.78 and ≥0.9, respectively. The results showed that all invited experts accepted the invitation and evaluated the SRSS questions. The previous version of the SRSS consisted of 33 questions. Of these, 30 questions reached an I-CVI of ≥0.78, indicating good content validity. Three questions had an I-CVI of 0.67 and were considered invalid; thus, they were deleted. The overall instrument achieved an Ave-CVI of 0.95. Comprehensive SRSS are essential for effective stroke prevention planning. By facilitating the early identification of individuals at high risk for stroke, these scales help reduce the incidence and impact of stroke. The high content validity found in this study supports the reliability of the SRSS as a screening tool. In the future, implementing such validated scales in clinical practice can improve early intervention strategies, ultimately enhancing health outcomes and optimizing the use of healthcare resources.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to develop the Quality of Life in Pregnancy Scale (PREG-QOL) as a new instrument to evaluate the quality of life during pregnancy and test its psychometric properties. DESIGN An instrument development study and psychometric testing of the content and construct validity, factor structure and reliability. METHODS The study was conducted in three stages: (1) creating an item pool, (2) preliminary evaluation of items, and (3) refining the scale and evaluating psychometric properties. Instrument development guidelines were used to evaluate content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and stability of the instrument over time. Data to evaluate psychometric properties of the PREG-QOL were collected between April and August 2021. RESULTS Items were developed using in-depth interviews with pregnant women and extensive literature review. Scale-content validity index was 0.98. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 26-item instrument with 6 factors, which explained % 56.2 of variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that factors 3 and 5 should be combined into the factor of physical domain since they included items about the same theme. Fit indices obtained by CFA were at sufficient levels. Parallel test method was employed to evaluate the correlation of the PREG-QOL with the SF-36. The findings indicated that the PREG-QOL had high internal inconsistency and stability over time. CONCLUSION The PREG-QOL is a valid and reliable instrument in terms of its psychometric characteristics. The 26-item instrument was composed of the five factors of perception of general satisfaction, emotional domain, physical domain, health support systems and social domain. IMPACT Displaying good psychometric properties, the PREG-QOL may be used to evaluate multiple dimensions of the quality of life during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Determining the self-efficacy perceptions of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients has a key role in health care practices. With further evaluation, the Self-Efficacy Measure for Sleep Apnea (SEMSA) could serve as a useful scale to develop specific interventions to increase self-efficacy in patients with OSA during the acceptance and maintenance of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to translate the SEMSA into Turkish and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the translation. METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of patients recently diagnosed with CPAP-naïve OSA. Linguistic and content validity of the scale were evaluated, while exploratory factor analysis and 2-level confirmatory factor analysis were used for validity. Internal consistency and test-retest methods were used in reliability analyses. RESULTS The mean (SD) age of the patients with OSA was 51.36 (11.29), and 68% were male. The item factor loads obtained as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis ranged from 0.44 to 0.94, confirming the three-factor structure of the instrument. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.90. Measurements made within the scope of test-retest analysis were found to be related and consistent results were obtained in the intervening time (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS In this study, the Turkish version of SEMSA was found to be a valid and reliable tool and it could be used to evaluate the adherence-related cognition in Turkish patients with OSA on CPAP therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient prioritization is a effective strategy to identify high risk patients for targeted Clinical Pharmacy Service (CPS) in hospital pharmacy. However, there is a paucity of patient prioritization tool to use in clinical practice. OBJECTIVES Describe the development, content validation and standardization of an adult patient prioritization tool for hospital CPS named, PrioFarClinH. METHODS The tool was developed using a stepwise design multi: Scoping Review to identify prioritization criteria/sub-criteria; Delphi technique to obtain consensus under the identified criteria/sub-criteria; Survey with pharmacists evaluating applicability of the criteria/sub-criteria obtained from Delphi; Definition of criteria/sub-criteria to be included in PrioFarClinH attribution of scores. Content validation was performed by a panel of experts evaluating relevance, feasibility, clarity and adequacy of the score. Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated. Standardization occurred through a retrospective observational study carried out at 24 and 72 h and median of the patient's hospital stay. An intragroup norm was performed, determining percentile ranks of the instrument's total scores. Patients with a P90 score were classified with a high level of prioritization for CPS. RESULTS PrioFarClinH is divided into three sections, with prioritization criteria for health issues; therapeutic classes; laboratory parameters. It comprises 51 criteria with specific scores with simple total calculation. None of the criteria presented CVI <0.78, maintaining the items from the initial version of PrioFarClinH. The scores were adjusted per suggestions from the panel of judges. Data were collected from 393 patients. The P90 percentile in the three hospitalization stages (24 h, 72 h, and median) was found, respectively, in the following scores: 18.0, 20.0, and 22.6. CONCLUSIONS PrioFarClinH is a comprehensive tool to target and to prioritize adults patients most likely to benefit from CPS. Evidence for adequate content validity was provided. However, further validation of this tool is necessary to establish tool performance.

Abstract
PURPOSE This cross-sectional study aimed to create and evaluate a care needs scale for mothers of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) to determine its psychometric properties. DESIGN AND METHODS This methodological research was conducted with 155 mothers whose children were diagnosed with CHD and were treated at a university hospital. The study's methodology included scale development, specialist opinions, and a pilot test. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and reliability assessments. RESULTS The 11-item scale was created using component analysis, expert comments, and pilot testing. It was divided into two categories: Information Needs Regarding Disease and Treatment and Needs Regarding Care. The Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a 2-factor structure, explaining 41.5% of the variance. Reliability analysis showed reliable dimensions, and Tukey's scalability test indicated the scale requires separate dimension evaluation. The model fit indices were obtained as CMIN/DF (72.751/41) = 1.774, GFI = 0.925, IFI = 0.923, TLI = 0.893, CFI = 0.920, RMSEA = 0.071, SRMR = 0.063. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for subdimension 1 was 0.758, and for subdimension 2 was 0.678, indicating reliable dimensions. CONCLUSION The developed scale provides a valuable tool for assessing the care needs of mothers of children with CHD, contributing to enhancing maternal support programs in pediatric cardiology clinics. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Assessment of the care needs of mothers who have children with CHD is promising for the development of educational programs on this subject and to ensure the competence of mothers for care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Cervicogenic headache (CGH) is a complicated and common headache disorder that may present itself with cervical spine dysfunction, irritation of the nerves, central sensitization, and muscular tension. Theoretically, this diagnosis should be an exclusionary diagnosis, considering the fact that it requires extended clinical assessment of the cervical spine and an evaluation for other primary headache types. CGH represents a clinical challenge as they habitually present with an array of nonspecific manifestations highly variable among patients. Management of CGHs is properly based on accurate diagnosis and sound understanding of the complaints of the individual. The development of CGH still carries with it a palpable gap in meaningful literature related to really effective assessment tools for the condition. The aim of the current study was to develop and investigate the validity of the content of the Cervicogenic Headache Patient Questionnaire. This questionnaire is designed especially to measure pain intensity, its impact on daily activities, disturbance in sleep, and the overall quality of life in subjects with CGHs. METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS The content validity ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI) have been used to thoroughly examine the content validity. Each item was rated by 10 experts for relevance and clarity. The scale consists of two main parts: demographic information and symptoms. Under the demographic section, the patient is asked for their age, sex, occupation, and any relevant medical history. The Symptom Checklist contains 10 questions concerning headache frequency, intensity, duration, location, and contributing factors, as well as how headaches affect daily activities, sleep, and quality of life. Item-CVI scores ranged from 0.60 to 1.00, and Scale-CVI/Ave was 0.95, which indicates strong overall content validity. The Scale-CVI/Universal Agreement was 0.83, meaning that most items are of high relevance. The clarity assessments resulted in I-CVI ratings of 1.00 for the majority of items. Using CVR analysis, items 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 10 all had a CVR of 1.00, whereas all the rest ranged from 0.40 to 0.80, suggesting unanimous agreement among the experts. CONCLUSION The results underline the strength of the questionnaire in covering all the critical dimensions of cervicogenic headaches, such as pain, daily functioning, sleep, and quality of life. The scores provided by experts for content validity and clarity were high; hence, it is suitable for use as a comprehensive tool both in clinical and research applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) as a chronic disease requires treatment adherence such as controlling the blood glucose level and adopting a healthy lifestyle. The present study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate a questionnaire based on the Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM) to measure treatment adherence and the associated factors among T2D patients. METHODS The present study was conducted in qualitative and the quantitative phases between March 2022 and March 2023. The participants were T2D patients visiting Shahid Mohammadi hospital Diabetes Clinic in Bandar Abbas in the south of Iran. The first draft of items was extracted from the qualitative phase. The present study used interviews with T2D patients, item construction, validity and reliability evaluation of the instrument, and the relevant statistical analyses. It emphasized the significance of content, face, and construct validity, along with reliability testing using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest method. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, V16 and AMOS, V23. RESULTS A 97-item questionnaire was developed through the qualitative phase and, after content validity, it was reduced to 86 items. Five items were removed in face validation, and after the test-retest method, 79 items were retained. The confirmatory factors analysis confirmed a 65-item model with appropriate fitness of data. Cronbach's alpha coefficient showed an acceptable reliability of the diabetes treatment adherence questionnaire (α = 0.92). CONCLUSION The questionnaire developed based on the HPM model provides a standard and comprehensive measurement of the degree of adherence to treatment and the associated factors among Iranian T2D patients. This is especially valuable in the Iranian healthcare context, where effective management of chronic diseases such as diabetes is of a top priority. Questionnaires can help identify barriers and facilitators of treatment adherence to inform systematic and goal-oriented interventions. The proposed questionnaire had good psychometric properties, and can be used as a valid and practical instrument to measure the factors related to treatment adherence behaviors.

[PMID: 39228469 PMCID: PMC11368552 DOI: 10.1155/2024/1467773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Retirement resources are considered one of the key determinants of well-being and coping with the challenging situations of retirement courses. Therefore, due to the lack of a valid questionnaire for research and practice at the national level as well as international comparisons, this study was conducted to translate the original retirement resources inventory into Persian and assess the validity and reliability of the Persian version. Materials and Methods The research employed a cross-sectional descriptive methodological approach, beginning with translating the questionnaire into Persian. Psychometric properties were evaluated through face, content, construct validity, and reliability tests. 335 participants were involved in assessing construct validity, while 30 participants contributed to the internal consistency test, and 20 took part in the test-retest reliability test. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Version 26 and AMOS 24 software. Results The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed eight components with eigenvalues greater than 1, accounting for 46.68% of the variance, with no questions being removed. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated that all items had a factor loading above 0.3, resulting in a final model with 35 items and eight factors, supported by fit indices (χ 2/df = 1.95, TLI: 0.87, IFI = 0.88, RMSEA = 0.05, GFI: 0.85). Reliability measures showed Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.71 to 0.83 and an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.93. Conclusion The study concludes that the Persian version of the RRI, encompassing 35 items across eight dimensions, is a valid and reliable tool for the Iranian retiree population. This validated inventory can be utilized in future national and international studies, particularly experimental ones, to develop well-being and retirement adjustment programs, thereby aiding in understanding and supporting Iranian retirees.

Abstract
Fluoride exposure is a global public health concern. Understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of affected populations is essential for effective community management. This study aimed to develop and validate a KAP questionnaire to assess fluoride and its risk in general population. An extensive literature review and focus group discussions were conducted to construct the questionnaire. Content validity was assessed using the Content Validity Index (CVI) based on expert feedback. Factor analysis was performed for final tool validation, and item characteristics were analyzed using IBM SPSS v. 27 and IBM AMOS v. 26. A total of 300 responses were collected. Initially, 41 items were included in the questionnaire, which were reduced to 25 after expert review. The final version included 19 items, with an I-CVI ranging from 0.80 to 1.00, indicating no issues with item difficulty or discrimination. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.88 to 0.90, demonstrating good internal consistency. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value was 0.848, and Bartlett's test (χ2 = 6860.978, df = 156, p < 0.01) confirmed data suitability for factor analysis. Three constructs were extracted with factor loadings greater than 0.5. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit. This study developed and validated a robust 19-item KAP questionnaire for assessing knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to fluoride exposure. The tool demonstrated excellent reliability, validity, and internal consistency, supporting its use in guiding effective community-level management and public health interventions in fluoride-endemic areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-centered care aims to prevent disease and promote well-being by actively involving patients in treatment and decision-making that is based on respecting the patients and their families. However, no scales have been developed to assess patient-centered care from the nurse's perspective. This study aimed to develop a scale to measure nurses' level of patient-centered communication and confirm its validity and reliability. METHODS A methodological cross-sectional study was adopted to develop and validate the Patient-Centered Communication Scale (PCCS). The items were developed through a literature review and online interviews with nurses. Content validity was assessed by experts and the content validity index was calculated. A pretest of the questionnaire was conducted with 10 clinical nurses. To evaluate the factor structure and internal consistency reliability, the PCCS was administered online to 325 nurses in South Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, explanatory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). RESULTS The final instrument consisted of 12 items and three factors: (1) information sharing, (2) patient-as-person, and (3) therapeutic alliance. EFA revealed a distinct three-factor structure, explaining 59.0% of the total variance. CFA confirmed the adequacy of the model fit and validated the inclusion of the final items. The Cronbach's alpha values ranged from 0.60 to 0.77, indicating acceptable internal consistency. Convergent validity was evidenced by the correlation between the PCCS and a measure of interpersonal communication competence. CONCLUSIONS The 12-item PCCS showed good reliability, construct validity, and convergent validity. The scale has utility for measuring the level of patient-centered communication skills in nurses.

Abstract
Blood transfusion is a life-saving procedure widely used in healthcare. However, complications such as transfusion reactions may occur. Knowledge of these reactions is essential for patient safety. Nurses play a crucial role in this process by identifying complications and adverse reactions early on. A lack of professional competence in blood transfusion can lead to errors and serious complications, such as death. The aim of this study was to present evidence of the content validity of a simulated clinical scenario on transfusion reactions for teaching and learning for nursing students. This methodological study was carried out in three phases: (1) development of the simulated scenario of a transfusion reaction; (2) analysis of evidence of content validity by experts (n = 11); and (3) determination of satisfaction and self-confidence in the use of the simulated scenario by the nursing students (n = 45). The Content Validity Index was 94%. After the scenario had been developed, the content was validated and approved by 100% of the experts. All the items in the simulated scenario obtained agreement scores above 0.90. The simulated scenario was validated in terms of content and can be used to teach the management of transfusion reactions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As hemodialysis is a long-term treatment method requiring significant self-management skills, it affects both the patient and the caregiver in many ways. It is inevitable that changes in the burden perceived by the caregiver over time will not affect the patient's health care outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop an up-to-date scale by examining the psychometric properties of items created specifically for the care burden perceived by individuals who provide care for patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. METHODS This study is a methodological study with the use of the COSMIN Checklist. The sample of the study included 404 individuals who were the primary caregivers of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Data were collected using descriptive characteristics form and the draft form of the Primary Caregiver Burden Scale Individuals Receiving Hemodialysis Treatment. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and predictive validity were used to evaluate validity. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, item analysis, and test-retest method were employed to evaluate reliability. RESULTS According to exploratory factor analysis, a scale structure with four subdimensions was determined, and goodness of fit was achieved using confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the final form of the scale consisting of 34 items was found to be 0.95 for the total scale, 0.93 for the self-management support subscale, 0.91 for the psychological support subscale, 0.91 for the caregiver symptom subscale, and 0.93 for the caregiver individual coping subscale. CONCLUSION The Primary Caregiver Burden Scale Individuals Receiving Hemodialysis Treatment, which was found to meet the validity and reliability criteria, has a four-point Likert-type scoring structure, 34 items, and four subdimensions. It is thought that the scale can make significant contributions to the international literature if its validity and reliability are established with nursing practices and research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the motivational factors that influence breastfeeding behavior is critical for addressing suboptimal breastfeeding outcomes. Self-determination theory has been used as a framework to understand these factors. RESEARCH AIM The aim of this article is to identify and critically review breastfeeding instruments derived from self-determination theory and their subsequent uses in the literature. METHOD This critical review was guided by Grant and Booth's typological description. Eligibility criteria included full-text, peer-reviewed original instrument development and validation articles, written in the English language without limitation to specific years. Articles describing the use of the eligible instruments were also included. There were 164 articles identified initially, and four instruments were included in the final sample. Finally, five articles, including subsequent uses of the instruments were critically analyzed and an overview, assessment of validation, and analysis of subsequent use of each instrument is presented. RESULTS All instruments examine the degree of autonomy underlying breastfeeding motivation. The extent and quality of validation varied. Two instruments have been used in subsequent studies; one was adapted and translated into Turkish and used in three other studies, and another was used in full in one subsequent use and in part in another study. Three of four were initially developed for prenatal administration. CONCLUSIONS Instruments derived from self-determination theory hold promise in exploring the autonomy underlying breastfeeding motivations. Researchers who wish to use or adapt these instruments should consider the instruments' domains, validity, and administration. New measures are needed to explore other constructs from self-determination theory related to breastfeeding.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiotherapy (RT) clinical trials allow patients to access cutting-edge innovative cancer treatments. Clinical Research Therapy Radiographers (CRRs) play an important role in the management and care of RT trial patients. The COVID-19 pandemic caused major disruption to RT trial delivery. Measures to mitigate COVID-19 risk continue to have an effect on patient contact and communication within cancer centres in the United Kingdom (UK). This study aimed to explore patient perspectives regarding their recent RT trial experience in Northern Ireland (NI), UK. METHODS A single centre service evaluation was conducted in NI. Patients who were recruited into a RT clinical trial from January 2020 to January 2023 were invited to participate. Surveys were posted to 50 participants in April 2023. Quantitative and qualitative data was captured and analysed using descriptive statistics and Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis framework respectively. Ethical approval was obtained through Ulster University and the NHS Trust. RESULTS Forty-three of the 50 invited participants responded (86%). Forty-two respondents (79%) had a prostate cancer diagnosis. Forty-one (98%) participants indicated that CRRs were always approachable, polite and courteous and would recommend taking part in a RT trial to friends and family. Identified areas for improvement included aspects regarding consent and participant decision-making. CONCLUSION This study suggests that despite the implemented measures to suspend research and mitigate COVID-19 risk, patients remained highly satisfied with the quality of care that they received through their participation in RT trials. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The results of this service evaluation will facilitate maintenance and improvement of patient focused delivery of cancer trials within the host centre. This study builds on evidence highlighting the importance of the CRR role and role development for radiographers.

Abstract
CONTEXT Inequities and gaps in palliative care access are a serious impediment to health systems especially in low- and middle-income countries and the accurate measurement of need across health conditions is a critical step to understanding and addressing the issue. Serious Health-related Suffering (SHS) is a novel methodology to measure the palliative care need and was originally developed by The Lancet Commission on Global Access to Palliative Care and Pain Relief. In 2015, the first iteration - SHS 1.0 - was estimated at over 61 million people worldwide experiencing at least 6 billion days of SHS annually as a result of life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. OBJECTIVES In this paper, an updated methodology - SHS 2.0 - is presented building on the work of the Lancet Commission and detailing calculations, data requirements, limitations, and assumptions. METHODS AND RESULTS The updates to the original methodology focus on measuring the number of people who die with (decedents) or live with (non-decedents) SHS in a given year to assess the number of people in need of palliative care across health conditions and populations. Detail on the methodology for measuring the number of days of SHS that was pioneered by the Lancet Commission, is also shared, as this second measure is essential for determining the health system responses that are necessary to address palliative care need and must be a priority for future methodological work on SHS. CONCLUSIONS The methodology encompasses opportunities for applying SHS to future policy making assessment of future research priorities particularly in light of the dearth of data from low- and middle-income countries, and sharing of directions for future work to develop SHS 3.0.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to assess validity evidence of an educational video on safe sexual activity after acute coronary syndrome. METHOD study in three phases: video development; content validity analysis by 11 experts; and analysis of validity based on response processes by seven people with coronary disease. The content validity ratio (CVR) was calculated with critical values for the second phase of 0.63 and for the third of 1.0. RESULTS the video addressed the importance of resuming sexual activity and positions that consume less energy, clinical warning signs, the importance of adhering to treatment and a welcoming environment for sexual practice. A CVR above the critical value was obtained with a total of 4 minutes and 41 seconds. CONCLUSION the educational video brings together adequate content validity evidence and can be used as a tool for patients after acute coronary syndrome.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric validation of the Malay version of the Assessment of Quality of Life-6 Dimensions (Malay-AQoL-6D) instrument among Malaysians living with chronic heart failure. J Patient Rep Outcomes 2024; 8:79. [PMID: 39052204 PMCID: PMC11272755 DOI: 10.1186/s41687-024-00763-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL)-6D into Malay (Malay-AQoL-6D), and assesses the instrument's acceptability, reliability, and validity among Malaysians living with chronic heart failure (HF). METHODS The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process adhered to international guidelines. The Malay-AQoL-6D underwent content and face validity assessments via expert review, and pretesting among healthy individuals and patients with chronic conditions. Subsequent psychometric validation utilised clinico-sociodemographic data and paired AQoL-6D and EQ-5D-5L data from a health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) survey involving Malay-speaking patients with HF, which encompassed assessments of Malay-AQoL-6D acceptability, internal consistency and test-retest reliability, as well as its construct, concurrent, convergent and divergent, and known-group validity. RESULTS The Malay-AQoL-6D was deemed acceptable among clinicians and local patients, achieving a 90.8% completion rate among 314 patients surveyed. The instrument demonstrated strong content validity (item-level content validity index [CVI]: 0.83-1.00, average CVI: 0.98), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.72-0.89; MacDonald's omega: 0.82-0.90, excluding the Senses dimension), and test-retest reliability (average intraclass correlation coefficients: 0.79-0.95). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the instrument's two-level, six-factor structure (Satorra-Bentler [SB]-scaled χ2(df: 164): 283.67, p-value < 0.001; root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA]: 0.051; comparative fix index [CFI]: 0.945, Tucker-Lewis index [TLI]: 0.937; standardised root mean-squared error [SRMR]: 0.058). The Malay-AQoL-6D's concurrent validity was evident through its good agreement with EQ-5D-5L. Multiple hypothesis tests further affirmed its construct and known-group validity. The Malay-AQoL-6D's psychometric properties remained consistent across different missing data techniques. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that Malay-AQoL-6D could be a culturally acceptable, reliable, and valid HRQoL measure for quantifying HRQoL among the local HF population. Future studies are necessary to further validate the instrument against other measures and confirm the instrument's test-retest reliability and responsiveness, which are possible with the availability of the Malay-AQoL-6D.

[PMID: 39052614 PMCID: PMC11271870 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0292563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
This study culturally adapted and validated a Nepalese version of the Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) tool for identifying domestic violence among pregnant women in Nepal, creating the Nepalese Abuse Assessment Screen (N-AAS). International and national topic experts reviewed the initial N-AAS version using the Delphi method, and pregnant women participated in cognitive interviews, providing feedback on the N-AAS as user experts. Subsequent pre-testing of a comprehensive questionnaire, which included the translated version of the N-AAS, occurred in two tertiary care hospitals using an electronic format known as Color-Coded Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (C-ACASI). The study assessed the content validity index, compared the concurrent validity of the N-AAS with the gold standard interview, estimated the prevalence of domestic violence from two hospitals, and calculated the Kappa coefficient. The reliability of the entire questionnaire was also evaluated through a test-retest analysis, with content validity rated as "good to excellent" by topic and user experts and high test-retest reliability (91.2-98.9%), indicating consistency across questionnaires completed at two different time points, with 12% of participants reporting any form of violence. The N-AAS demonstrated ≥91.7% specificity for all forms of abuse, accurately identifying non-abuse cases. In addition, moderate to excellent sensitivity was observed for emotional abuse (52.5%) and physical abuse since marriage (50%), while sensitivity for physical abuse in the past 12 months was 100%. Thus, the N-AAS demonstrated reliable test-retest results with a good Kappa coefficient and specificity, as well as showing excellent sensitivity for detecting recent physical abuse and moderate sensitivity for detecting emotional abuse and physical abuse since marriage. Because cultural context often leads women to normalize and tolerate abuse from spouses and family members and women are thus reluctant to report abuse, the results imply that the N-AAS can serve as a valuable screening tool for domestic abuse in antenatal care settings in Nepal.

Abstract
Despite the availability of various tools for measuring medication adherence, efficiently identifying non-adherence levels and reasons at the point of care remains challenging. Existing tools often lack the ease of use needed for practical clinical application. This study aimed to develop and validate a user-friendly tool to provide healthcare professionals with a concise yet comprehensive means of identifying adherence behaviors. The methodology consisted of two phases: tool items were first developed using the nominal group technique with healthcare professionals, followed by a cross-sectional pilot study involving community-dwelling adults in Croatia. Validation analysis indicated acceptable face and content validity and satisfactory criterion validity, with Attitudes towards meDication adHErence self-Reported questionnairE (ADHERE-7) scores correlating with both the self-reported five-item Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5 tool) (ρ = 0.765; p < 0.001) and an objective measure of the proportion of days covered (PDC) from pharmacy prescription claims data (G = 0.586; p = 0.015). Construct validity revealed three factors: Aversion, Comfort, and Practical Non-Adherence, with Cronbach's alpha values of 0.617 for Aversion and 0.714 for Comfort Non-Adherence. The mean total score for ADHERE-7 was 26.27 ± 2.41 (range 17 to 28). This robust validation process confirms the ADHERE-7 tool as a reliable instrument for assessing medication adherence, addressing aversion, comfort, practical issues, and both intentional and unintentional nonadherence.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study, by applying the feedback process of the organizational learning model, examined the relationships among group learning, individuals' and groups' internalization of institutionalized evidence-based practice (I-EBP), and nurses' sustainment of I-EBP. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Twelve hospitals were included in this cross-sectional study, with 1,741 nurses from 59 wards. Anonymous questionnaires were administered from October to December 2021. Participants self-reported their wards' group learning, internalization of I-EBP, sustainment of I-EBP, EBP beliefs, intra-hospital transfers, and nursing research experiences. The number of nurses and I-EBP introduction length and type of I-EBP were assessed. Internalization of I-EBP of nurses and groups was considered the mediating variable, while group learning and nurses' sustainment of I-EBP were the independent and dependent variables, respectively. Significant variables in bivariate analyses were used as control variables. Multi-level Mediation Analysis and a significance test of indirect effect using the bootstrap method were conducted. FINDINGS Responses from 360 nurses in 48 wards from 12 hospitals were analyzed. Groups' internalization of I-EBP significantly mediated the relationship between group learning and nurses' sustainment of I-EBP. In contrast, no significant mediating effect of nurses' internalization of I-EBP was observed. ORIGINALITY/VALUE In the feedback process of organizational learning, group learning and its subsequent effects on individuals and groups have not been previously examined. Regardless of the nurses' degree of internalization of I-EBP, those who belong to the ward with a high degree of internalization of I-EBP are more likely to sustain it. Conducting group learning may prevent superficial practice, resulting in its sustainability.

Abstract
PURPOSE To validate the content of the "Health Literacy Behaviour" nursing outcome (NO). METHODS A content validation study was conducted during 2022. Each indicator was included in the NO, and its response levels were operationally defined. The initial version of each indicator and its response levels were refined and validated through the Delphi method. A panel of health literacy (HL) and nursing taxonomies experts evaluated the content through two content validity indicators. The content validity of the NO and each index was determined by calculating the content validity index (CVI). A qualitative analysis of the recommendations provided by the experts was carried out to improve the understanding of the indicators and their levels. FINDINGS A total of 108 experts participated in this study. Mostly females with more than 10 years of professional experience. The results demonstrated a high CVI of the indicators and the NO "Health Literacy Behaviour." All indicators achieved excellent (CVI ≥ 0.80) relevance and clarity. The CVI universal average method (CVI-p) of the NO achieved an excellent result of 0.90. CONCLUSIONS The indicators included in the NO "Health Literacy Behaviour" have content validity. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE These findings provide evidence-based indicators to measure the patient's actions to obtain, process, and understand information about health and disease, interact with the health system, and make informed health decisions. The validation of this NO would identify populations with low HL, allowing the health of this community to be promoted. Health literacy should be a priority objective of health management and policies.

Abstract
Background Most instruments available to screen for anxiety in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not disease specific. Therefore, the Anxiety Inventory for Respiratory Disease (AIR) was developed to measure anxiety for this patient group; however, it requires cross-cultural adaptation for use in non-English speaking countries. Purpose To carry out cross-cultural adaptation of the AIR scale for Brazilian patients with COPD and to analyze its semantic validity. Patients and Methods This methodological study followed six stages: 1) Initial translation by two independent translators fluent in English; 2) Synthesis of translations; 3) Back translation by two English first language translators; 4) Expert committee review (eight healthcare professionals, a methodologist, the translators, and back-translators); 5) Pre-final version evaluation with 30 patients with COPD through a cognitive interview; and 6) Submission of documents. Semantic validity was analyzed by agreement rate and content validity index (CVI) for the committee equivalence assessments. Results 1) Initial translation: the two translated versions presented eight divergences; 2) Synthesis of translations: the differences were discussed to reach consensus; 3) Back-translation: there were no important inconsistencies; 4) Expert Committee: the experts proposed eight and the instrument developer proposed three changes, which were analyzed and voted on, resulting in the pre-final version; 5) Evaluation of the pre-final version: data collection allowed for other changes and the formulation of instructions by applying the adapted instrument in an interview format. Patients rated the questions as clear or very clear; 6) The expert committee and the developer approved the final documents. The agreement rate and CVI were ≥ 0.80 for all items of the scale final version. Conclusion The process of cross-cultural adaptation followed all necessary stages and the semantic validity results were adequate, providing the Brazilian version of the AIR to assess anxiety symptoms in patients with COPD.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study was to identify and synthesize the contents and the psychometric properties of the existing instruments measuring home-based care (HBC) nurses' competencies. DESIGN A hybrid systematic narrative review was performed. REVIEW METHODS The eligible studies were reviewed to identify the competencies measured by the instruments for HBC nurses. The psychometric properties of instruments in development and psychometric testing design studies were also examined. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument and COSMIN checklist accordingly. DATA SOURCES Relevant studies were searched on CINAHL, MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, PsychINFO and Scopus from 2000 to 2022. The search was limited to full-text items in the English language. RESULTS A total of 23 studies reporting 24 instruments were included. 12 instruments were adopted or modified by the studies while the other 12 were developed and psychometrically tested by the studies. None of the instruments encompassed all of the 10 home-based nursing care competencies identified in an earlier study. The two most frequently measured competencies were the management of health conditions, and critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while the two least measured competencies were quality and safety, and technological literacy. The content and structural validity of most instruments were inadequate since the adopted instruments were not initially designed or tested among HBC nurses. CONCLUSION This review provides a consolidation of existing instruments that were used to assess HBC nurses' competencies. The instruments were generally not comprehensive, and the content and structural validity were limited. Nonetheless, the domains, items and approaches to instrument development could be adopted to develop and test a comprehensive competency instrument for home-based nursing care practice in the future. IMPACT This review consolidated instruments used to measure home-based care nurses' competency. The instruments were often designed for ward-based care nurses hence a comprehensive and validated home-based nursing care competency instrument is needed. Nurses, researchers and nursing leaders could consider the competency instruments identified in this review to measure nurses' competencies, while a home-based nursing care competency scale is being developed. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION No patient or public contribution was required in this review.

[PMID: 37468369 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A discrepancy between dentists' assessments and patients' expectations during prosthodontic treatment is inevitable. Incorporating dental patients' concerns about their prosthodontic treatment needs is essential during treatment planning, yet studies assessing these needs in adult dental patients are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a novel instrument, termed the questionnaire on perceived prosthodontic treatment needs (PPTN), that assesses perceived prosthodontic treatment needs in adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS The PPTN was developed following a literature review, consultation with healthcare workers, and patient interviews. It included 15 questions and a self-rated need for prosthodontic treatment, categorized on a Likert scale. A cross-sectional descriptive study was completed on 193 dental patients seeking or receiving prosthodontic treatment. RESULTS Three perceived prosthodontic treatment need factors were identified (psychosocial impact, esthetic concern, and function) by using exploratory factor analysis. A higher PPTN score indicated greater perceived prosthodontic treatment needs. The identified factors represent 67.8% of the variance with eigenvalues of >1. The PPTN had a high degree of internal consistency and reliability, as the final questionnaire received a Cronbach alpha of 0.75 and an intraclass coefficient of 0.75 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.68 to 0.80 (F(192, 576)=3.94, P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The newly developed questionnaire was valid and will help understand patients' perceived treatment needs and benefit further prosthodontic research and clinical application.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Adolescent Asthma Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for the Turkish population. DESIGN AND METHOD This study involved 198 adolescents aged 12-18 who had been diagnosed with asthma. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Information Questionnaire and the Turkish version of the Adolescent Asthma Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. The validity of the scale was evaluated using the content validity index, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach's alpha reliability score, split-half method, item-total score correlation, and test-retest. RESULTS The Turkish version of the Adolescent Asthma Self-Efficacy Questionnaire has a total explained variance of 63%. Factor loadings were found to be higher than 0.40 in both explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses. The test-retest reliability coefficient is 0.91, and the total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale is 0.93, with all subscales having a Cronbach's alpha value >0.84. The model fit indices of the scale were found to be at an acceptable level. CONCLUSION The Adolescent Asthma Self-Efficacy Questionnaire is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the Turkish population. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The AASEQ can be a useful tool for healthcare professionals in the assessment of self-efficacy in adolescents who have had a diagnosis of asthma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In Spain, Quality Units play a key and unique role in advising healthcare centers on the methodology of healthcare quality. The objectives of the study were to develop computer algorithms to obtain a synthetic indicator of standard compliance for Quality Units and to pilot its functioning in these units. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Excel program was used to establish evaluation algorithms, and quantitatively interrelate and weight various categories of standards, as a computer evaluation tool, to build a continuous improvement cycle system, and offer a global synthetic indicator of compliance. The tool was tested in a prospective multicenter pilot study, in which coordinators of Quality Units from different health centers and care settings participated, to evaluate the usefulness of the tool and compliance with the standards, in addition to analyzing the content validity of each standard. RESULTS The formulas for the structured computer algorithms were developed, consecutively, in a «PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT» improvement cycle for the 9 categories of standards, resulting in a single synthetic indicator of compliance. Twenty-one Quality Units participated in the piloting. The overall average compliance rate for the synthetic indicator was 55.63% with differences between centers (P=.002) and between categories (P<.0001), but not by autonomous communities (P=.86) or by areas (P=.97). Content validity was ensured through the variable of «understanding» of the standards (P<.001), and through their «justification» with documentary evidence (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The computer tool with the synthetic indicator have allowed for the evaluation of standard compliance in Quality Units of healthcare centers.

Abstract
Since its recognition as a plausible direction to assure food safety, food safety culture research has evolved with several commercial and scientific assessment tools developed to evaluate the food safety culture in food businesses. However, existing research does not specify the validity and reliability checks required to demonstrate rigor in the tool development process and there is no unified methodology to confirm robustness of the tools to ensure trustworthiness and usefulness of findings and inferences generated. The purpose of the study was to develop a method to evaluate food safety culture assessment tools and to assess the reliability and validity of existing food safety culture assessment tools using the developed method. Eleven elements were found to be key in validating food safety culture assessment tools. Of the eight tools assessed, only one tool (CT2) was validated on each of the elements. The depth of validation strategies differed for each tool. Three out of the five commercial tools published peer reviewed publications that demonstrated the validation checks that were done. Face validation, and pilot testing were evident and appeared to be done the most. Whilst content, ecological, and cultural validity were the least validated for scientific tools, factor analysis and reliability checks were the least evaluated for commercial tools. None of the tools were assessed for postdictive validity, concurrent validity and the correlation coefficient relating to construct validity. Having an established science-based approach is key as it provides a way to determine the trustworthiness of established assessment tools against accepted methods.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the content validity evidence of the nursing outcome "sexual functioning" from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS A multi-method study, including a methodological study analyzing the content validity evidence of the NOC outcome and sexual functioning, and a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study. In the first phase, a literature review was conducted to map and identify clinical indicators associated with sexual functioning to construct the conceptual (CD) and operational definitions (ODs) of each outcome indicator. In the second phase, experts assessed the CD and OD for clarity, theoretical relevance, and theoretical pertinence. The critical validity ratio (CVR) was calculated for each indicator. In the third phase, a pilot test of sexual functioning measurement was conducted with 33 patients hospitalized for coronary artery disease. Internal consistency was calculated through Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS The CD and OD were constructed based on 120 articles and analyzed by 13 experts; four rounds were required to achieve the critical CVR in each phase. In the pilot test, the nursing outcome achieved a Cronbach's alpha of 0.95, and the mean assessment time was 26 min. Indicators with the highest mean scores were related to knowledge of personal needs and capabilities and comfort with one's own body. CONCLUSION The CD and OD developed for the NOC outcome, sexual functioning, had adequate evidence of content validity. The outcome content has high internal consistency. Further studies on the validity of the nursing outcome should be conducted to increase its validity. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The nursing outcome, sexual functioning, can be a tool used by nurses to evaluate the effect of nursing education and interventions on sexual functioning in the adult population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recognized as the most exhaustive multidimensional evaluation of women's person-centered experiences during childbirth, the Person-Centered Maternity Care (PCMC) Scale offers domain-specific insights into facets of care. This instrument has yet to be translated into Persian. Hence, this study purposed to translate and ascertain the reliability and validity of a Persian version of the PCMC scale for postpartum women in Iran. METHODS A cross-sectional study was facilitated at multiple comprehensive health centers within Tehran, Iran, from February 2022 until July 2022. Postpartum women within seven days after childbirth who were referred to selected comprehensive health centers for newborn thyroid screening were conveniently sampled. The validation process for the questionnaire utilized confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while it gauged convergent validity via factor loads, average variance extracted (AVE), along with composite reliability (CR). Discriminant credibility was evaluated utilizing HTMT alongside the Fornell-Larcker Criteria. Data analysis procedures were conducted through IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows Version 16 and SMART PLS Statistics for Windows Version 4.0.9.9. RESULTS All the items were within the acceptable range of factor loading, except for questions 3 of the facility and 6 of dignity, which were removed from the model. The AVE values for all the variables were above 0.50, and the CR values were above 0.78, indicating convergent validity. On the horizontal loading table, all of the indicators met the conditions. Additionally, the findings validate that the HTMT indicator associated with all constructs remained below 0.9, which confirms divergent relevance about the survey tool under consideration. The composite reliability values also indicated good overall reliability for all the constructs, ranging from 0.78 to 0.91. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study indicate that the Persian version of the PCMC is a reliable and valid tool for measuring person-centered maternity care in Persian-speaking populations.

Abstract
Purpose This research seeks to ascertain the impact of mobile marketing antecedents on the purchase intention of staple products among BoP consumers to create a viable digital-commerce channel that serves this segment. To achieve this, the paper proposes that mobile marketing antecedents, such as service quality and price sensitivity, influence trust and satisfaction, which, in turn, influence the purchase intention of staple products. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was collected from 385 BoP consumers. Smart PLS 4 was used to analyse data using Structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings Service quality positively influences trust towards mobile marketing. In contrast, a similar positive trend was observed for satisfaction, price sensitivity, service quality, and purchase intentions. Surprisingly, satisfaction and trust did not influence purchase intentions. Originality/value Through the Value-Based Adoption Model (VAM), original contributions to the literature have been established, which have received little attention from consumer behaviour researchers, particularly in the context of emerging economies, to explore several mobile marketing antecedents that motivate or demotivate BoP consumers, who are mainly untapped, to make online purchases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transition of care from hospitalisation to home is a complex process with potential patient safety risks, especially for patients with multimorbidity. Traditionally, the quality of transition of care has been evaluated primarily through readmission rates. However, interpreting the readmission rates presents challenges, and readmission rates fail to capture the patient's perspective on the quality of the care transition. Insight into the patient's experience with their care or a health service can be provided through the use of patient-reported experience measures (PREMs), and the two PREMs Care Transitions Measure 15 (CTM-15) and Partners at Care Transitions Measure part 1 and 2 (PACT-M1 and PACT-M2) assess on the quality of transition of care from the patients' perspective. The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and assess content validity of CTM-15, PACT-M1, and PACT-M2 for Danish-speaking patients with multimorbidity. METHODS A two-step approach was used for content validation, involving cognitive debriefing and interviews with patients, representing the target group, as well as quantitative data collection from healthcare professionals representing all three sectors of the Danish healthcare system. The patients were systematically interviewed regarding the aspects of content validity; comprehensibility, relevance, and comprehensiveness. The healthcare professionals assessed the relevance and comprehensiveness of each item through questionnaires, allowing the calculation of a content validity index (CVI). An item CVI ≥ 0.78 is considered good. RESULTS The results of the qualitative data indicated that both CTM-15 and the PACT-M questionnaires were considered relevant, and comprehensible, and comprehensive to the target group. The CVI computed at item level determined that PACT-M1 and PACT-M2 demonstrated excellent content validity among the healthcare professionals, whereas the CVI for two items of the CTM-15 fell below the threshold value for "good". CONCLUSION The Danish versions of the PACT-M questionnaires demonstrated good content validity, and the CTM-15 demonstrated acceptable content validity based on qualitative data from patients and quantitative data from healthcare professionals. Further validation of the questionnaires, by assessing their construct validity and reliability is recommended.

Abstract
Background Thai pharmacists' roles have increasingly shifted to a system-focused role in providing public health services. A competency framework in this area is essential to workforce development. Objective This study aimed to summarize and synthesize the literature on pharmaceutical public health competencies of Thai pharmacists. Methods The Scopus, MEDLINE, and Web of Science (Clarivate) databases were searched. The search criteria included "public health", "health promotion", "primary care", "community pharmacy", "pharmacy" and "pharmacist". Documents published in English and Thai between January 2011 and December 2020 were also examined. Unpublished documents were included. A 3-step inductive coding technique was used to develop the competency framework. To validate the findings, a 2-round, modified Delphi method was employed with 20 Thai pharmaceutical specialists between August 2022 and January 2023. The Scale-level Content Validity Index (S-CVI) was used to assess validity. Results The database search yielded 1429 articles. Fifty-seven articles were selected. The analysis identified 5 competency domains. The domains, along with their related competency elements and behavioral statements, were provided for expert assessment. The S-CVI scores in the first and second rounds were 0.78 and 0.93, respectively. The terminology and categories of competencies have been improved. This outcome resulted in a pharmaceutical public health competency framework for Thai pharmacists. The framework consists of 5 competency domains: 1) individual and family health promotion (3 competency elements with 10 behavioral statements), 2) community empowerment for well-being communities (6 competency elements with 23 behavioral statements), 3) information management and evidence-based practice (3 competency elements with 10 behavioral statements), 4) communication for health promotion (3 competency elements with 6 behavioral statements), and 5) pharmacoepidemiology and support for public health emergencies and epidemics (2 competency elements with 5 behavioral statements). Conclusion Pharmaceutical public health competencies for Thai pharmacists were developed through extensive literature review and expert consultation.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The principal instructional leadership describes how school principals oversee the curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The main aims of the current study were translation and evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Principal Instructional Leadership Scale (PILS) in a Saudi Arabian population. METHODS The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process has been conducted in five stages, including forward translation, translation synthesis, backward translation, expert committee, and pilot testing. Face, content, construct, and convergent validity were used to establish validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and McDonald's omega (Ω) were used for internal consistency. RESULTS To validate the PILS structure, the total sample (N = 724) was randomly split into two subgroups, each comprising 362 individuals, for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Five factors obtained from EFA explain 71.07 % of the variance in PILS. The PILS encompasses domains of improving curriculum quality, teaching, and enhancing the effectiveness of adaptive learning, adding to the dimensions covered by previous instructional leadership measures. The five components show strong internal consistency (0.93 to 0.97). Both first-order and second-order CFAs confirmed the 5-factor model, meeting criteria (CFI > 0.91, GFI > 0.9, IFI > 0.9, RMSEA<0.05). All 21 items displayed suitable internal consistency (Cronbach's α > 0.8, McDonald's omega >0.7). Second-order average variance extracted validity (0.50) indicated PILS validity. Gender invariance analysis revealed no significant differences (∆CFI < 0.01, ΔRMSEA<0.01) in PILS structure between genders. CONCLUSION The reliability and validity of the Arabic rendition of PILS are commendable, making it suitable for evaluating principal instructional leadership in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract
Parental socialization strategies are critical in explaining adolescents' online behavior. This study examined the relationships between parental restorative discipline, observed justice sensitivity, and cyber-bystander defender intervention (constructive and aggressive) in cyberbullying. The sample comprised 900 Mexican adolescents (40.2% male and 58.8% female), of which 450 were from secondary school (M age = 13.6, SD = 0.8) and 450 were from high school (M age = 15.4, SD = 1.3). Structural equation modeling with latent variables was performed. Overall, the results indicate that parental restorative discipline positively relates to the observer's justice sensitivity and the adoption of constructive interventions by cyber-bystander defenders. However, restorative discipline had no significant direct relationship with aggressive intervention. Observers' justice sensitivity mediates the association between restorative parenting discipline and aggressive or constructive defender interventions. Gender does not moderate the relationship proposed in the structural model. These findings suggest that parental restorative discipline explains constructive and aggressive cyber-bystander defender interventions in cyberbullying.
