J Clin Nurs 2024; 33:1820-1829. [PMID: 38054584 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To develop a Chinese version of a chronic wound health-related quality of life (QoL) instrument and to examine the psychometric properties of this instrument. BACKGROUND Existing QoL instruments are not tailored to the linguistic and cultural characteristics of Chinese-speaking patients; a version addressing this gap will increase clinical understanding of their healthcare experience and may help guide chronic wound care. DESIGN A methodological study. METHODS The method advanced by DeVellis (2017) was used to develop the instrument. An initial pool of 38 items was created. To optimize scale length and test reliability and validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. A total of 23 items formed the final pool. After two rounds of expert discussions, the average content validity index of the final 23 items was .89. RESULTS A total of 226 patients completed the instrument and were divided into two groups for further analysis. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that 15 items remained in four factors (social activity restrictions, physical and psychological disturbance, wound burden and daily life limitation), which accounted for 64.87% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an acceptable fit of the hypothesized factor structure and the convergent and discriminant validities were achieved. Cronbach's α coefficients for each factor were .807, .773, .799 and .713, respectively. CONCLUSION The Chinese version of a chronic wound health-related QoL instrument consists of 15 items in four subscales and demonstrates good reliability and validity. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This instrument can be used intermittently or continuously to evaluate the treatment effect of chronic wounds by assessing health-related QoL. Scholars in Chinese-speaking regions may find this culturally compatible instrument useful when conducting studies related to chronic wounds. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Two hundred twenty-six participants provided their perspectives on health-related QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergency nurses are experienced specific stress factors. To evaluate stressors of emergency nurses effectively is useful to improve quality of nursing care. This study aimed to translate the stressor scale for emergency nurses into Chinese (C-SSEN) and carry out the reliability and validity test among Chinese emergency nurses. METHODS A total of 358 emergency nurses from four hospitals in Tianjin, Henan, and Shandong province of China are recruited through a convenience sampling. The C-SSEN was translated into Chinese applying a classic 'forward-backward' translation method. Reliability (internal consistency, test-retest reliability) and validity (content validity, construct validity) were assessed. RESULTS The final version of C-SSEN was rated by the expert panel, indicating good content validity (I-CVI ≥ 0.83, S-CVI = 0.96). The scale had satisfactory content validity, internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficient = 0.958), and test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.824). CONCLUSION The C-SSEN is a useful and reliable scale to evaluate stressors among emergency nurses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety disorder is a common non-motor symptom among individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). At present, there are no specific tools in China for assessing the anxiety level of patients with PD. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Parkinson Anxiety Scale (C-PAS) in Chinese patients with PD. METHODS A total of 158 patients with PD at one hospital in Nanjing were recruited through convenience sampling. The C-PAS was translated into Chinese using a classic 'forward-backward' translation method. Reliability tests included internal consistency and test-reliability. And in addition to content, structure and criterion-related validity were performed for the validity tests. Criterion-related validity was evaluated with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety Subscale (HADS-A). RESULTS Results confirmed the three-factor structure of the original C-PAS with 12 items, including persistent anxiety (5 items), episodic anxiety (4 items) and avoidance behavior (3 items). Significant and positive correlations were obtained between C-PAS and HADS-A (r = 0.82, P<0.01). The Cronbach's α and test-retest reliability of the total scale were 0.89 and 0.84, respectively. CONCLUSION The C-PAS has demonstrated good psychometric properties. Therefore, it can be employed in patients with PD to evaluate the condition of anxiety.

Abstract
While many sociocultural, contextual, biological, behavioral, and psychological variables may contribute to the widespread under-representation of girls and women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field, this study focused on STEM-gender stereotypes, school experiences, and adolescence as critical factors in driving students' interest and motivation in STEM. Based on this, the study (a) investigated differences by gender and national context (Italy vs. Nigeria) in adolescents' STEM-gender stereotypes, school empowerment, and school engagement in a preliminary step, and (b) simultaneously examined how adolescents' STEM-gender stereotypes were related to school empowerment and school engagement as well as to socioeconomic status (SES). These latter relations were considered within the context of the potential moderating role of gender and national context. Participants included 213 Italian adolescents (Mage = 13.91; 52.1% girls) and 214 Nigerian adolescents (Mage = 13.92; 60.3% girls), who completed measures of school empowerment and engagement, STEM-gender stereotypes, and SES. A multivariate analysis of covariance showed that Nigerian girls and boys reported significantly higher levels of school empowerment, school engagement, and STEM-gender stereotypes than their Italian peers. Moreover, regardless of the national context, boys scored significantly higher on school empowerment and STEM-gender stereotypes than girls. Furthermore, a multiple-group path analysis revealed how higher school empowerment was related to lower STEM-gender stereotypes in both Italian and Nigerian girls' groups, while higher school engagement was associated with lower STEM-gender stereotypes only in the Nigerian groups. Regardless of gender and nationality, higher SES was linked to lower STEM-gender stereotypes. These findings particularly suggest that school empowerment and school engagement can be relevant dimensions to be studied and to develop strategies to counteract STEM-gender stereotypes in adolescence. Nonetheless, gender and national context are key factors to be considered. Limitations, strengths, future research, and educational implications are discussed.

Abstract
Objetivo: Analizar la asociación entre el uso de polifarmacia y la calidad de vida de personas con lesiones cutáneas crónicas. Método: Estudio transversal con una muestra conformada por 146 personas afectadas por lesiones cutáneas crónicas, vinculadas con la atención primaria de salud. La recolección de datos se realizó entre julio de 2017 y febrero de 2018. La información se recopiló mediante un cuestionario sociodemográfico y el cuestionario Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule (CWIS). Resultados: Hubo predominio de hipertensión arterial sistémica en 86 personas (58,9%) y de diabetes mellitus en 50 (34,2%). La etiología de la lesión cutánea predominante fue vasculogénica (38,4%), y se identificó polifarmacia en el 46,7% de los pacientes. En el cuestionario CWIS, el dominio con el puntaje promedio más bajo fue el bienestar (promedio de 46,2±17,9). Hubo asociación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.05) entre polifarmacia y las siguientes variables: dominio de “síntomas físicos/vida diaria", dominio de “vida social” y “autosatisfacción con la calidad de vida". Conclusión: La polifarmacia está asociada con un detrimento en la calidad de vida de personas con lesiones cutáneas crónicas. Por lo tanto, los profesionales de la salud que trabajan en la atención primaria deberían considerar la terapia farmacológica en sus planes de atención, coordinar con asistencia médica y farmacéutica la elaboración de estrategias de monitoreo de los riesgos que involucran la polifarmacia, y evaluar sus impactos en la calidad de vida. Conflicto de interés: Ninguno.

Abstract
AIM Nurses' attitude is a significant determinant of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) prevention, and a positive attitude may benefit quality improvement projects. This research aimed to translate the attitude towards the prevention of incontinence-associated dermatitis instrument (C-APrIAD) into Chinese and test the reliability and validity among Chinese nurses. METHODS The C-APrIAD was translated into Chinese using a standard procedure of backward-forward translation and cross-cultural adaption. Totally 170 nurses were recruited through the convenience sampling method from three tertiary hospitals in Tianjin, Shandong, and Heilongjiang province of China. Reliability (internal consistency, stability) and validity (content validity, structure validity, and convergent validity), were assessed. Convergent Validity was evaluated by correlation with the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). RESULTS Of the 170 completed questionnaires, 158 (93%) were suitable for analysis. The item-total correlation coefficients ranged from 0.39 to 0.80. The content validity of C-APrIAD was 0.96. A factor analysis indicated the construct of a 14-item instrument in a four factors solution: (1) beliefs about the impact of IAD on patients, (2) beliefs about team responsibility to prevent IAD, (3) beliefs about personal responsibility to prevent IAD, and (4) beliefs about the effectiveness of IAD prevention products and procedures. The correlation coefficient between the GSES and C-APrIAD was 0.49 (P < 0.01). For the total instrument, the Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.87 and the test-retest reliability was 0.99. CONCLUSION The C-APrIAD is reliable and valid. The C-APrIAD may benefit nursing research as well as clinical practice to optimize interventions to improve IAD prevention.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to validate a Dutch translation of the Cardiff wound impact schedule (CWIS), a disease‐specific instrument to measure the health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with chronic leg ulcers. To achieve this, the original instrument was translated. A total of 83 patients with chronic lower leg ulcers were included and completed the translated instrument and SF36 at baseline after assessment of their wound severity. Follow‐up was performed 1 week after inclusion. The psychometric properties of the instrument were assessed. Construct validity was positively evaluated by an expert panel. Face validity was positively evaluated in a cognitive debriefing of a pilot group. Discriminant validity was assessed by correlating 1‐year amputation risk according to the Wound, Ischaemia, foot Infection classification system with the instrument scores. Significant correlation could not be proven. Criterion validity was assessed by correlating domain scores of the instrument with domain scores of the gold standard: SF36. Moderate to high correlation was calculated for most domains of the instrument. Test‐retest reliability and internal consistency were evaluated as acceptable. In conclusion, the Dutch translation of the CWIS is a valid and reliable disease‐specific instrument to assess the HRQoL in patients with chronic lower leg ulcers.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to translate into Mexican Spanish, cross-culturally adapt and validate the wound-specific quality of life (QoL) instrument Cardiff wound impact schedule (CWIS) for Mexican patients. This instrument went through the full linguistic translation process based on the guidelines of Beaton et al (Beaton DE, Bombardier C, Guillemin F, Ferraz MB, Guidelines for the process of cross-cultural adaptation of self-report measures, Spine Phila Pa, 1976, 2000, 318-391). We included a total of 500 patients with chronic leg ulcers. The expert committee evaluated the Face validity and they agreed unanimously that the instrument was adequate to assess the QoL of these patients, covering all relevant areas presented by them. The content validity index obtained was of 0.95. The construct validity demonstrated moderately significant correlations between related sub-scales of CWIS and SF-36 (P = .010 to P < .001). The instrument was able to discriminate between healed and unhealed ulcers. The instrument obtained an overall Cronbach's alpha of .952, corresponding to an excellent internal consistency (.903-.771 alpha range for domains). The CWIS can be appropriately used to assess the health-related QoL of Mexican patients with chronic leg ulcers.

Abstract
Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de pessoas com feridas crônicas. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 176 pessoas com feridas crônicas em acompanhamento ambulatorial e domiciliar em um serviço público de saúde. Foram utilizados: formulário para a caracterização sociodemográfica, clínica e terapêutica e o questionário Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule para a mensuração da qualidade de vida. As análises foram descritivas e inferenciais empregando-se os testes t de Student, ANOVA, Mann Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: Dentre as pessoas acompanhadas em domicílio, predominaram lesões de origem vasculogênicas, com tempo de existência superior a 12 meses e área de até 25 cm2. No ambiente ambulatorial, prevaleceram feridas vasculogênicas e traumáticas, com tempo máximo de seis meses e extensão de até 25 cm2. Os fatores clínicos associados à qualidade de vida foram: tempo de duração da lesão, etiologia da lesão, grande extensão, aspecto do exsudato, presença de odor e de dor. O domínio de QV “bem-estar” apresentou maior impacto negativo decorrente da presença de lesão. Conclusão: Os fatores clínicos influenciaram diretamente os domínios de QV, sendo necessária a utilização de estratégias diferenciadas com o intuito de reduzir o impacto na QV por se tratarem de aspectos que poderiam ser atenuados ou evitados mediante a avaliação da lesão e a escolha do tratamento adequado.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To develop and validate an instrument for the self-assessment of the Patient Safety Centers in health care institutions. Method: Non-experimental methodological study. Divided in the following stages: literature review and construction of the preliminary instrument; content validation by nine professionals with experience in Quality Management and patient safety, who contributed to the adequacy of the items in terms of clarity and relevance; finally, 12 PSC coordinators, which conducted the reliability validation of the final instrument, using Cronbach's Alpha. Results: The instrument presented content validity regarding clarity and relevance, evidenced by an agreement level greater than 70%. The internal consistency presented high reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.857 for the general instrument, 0.825 for the domain Structure, and 0.809 for the domain Process. Conclusion: The instrument presented evidence of content validity and reliability for self-assessment, implementation and evaluation of the PSC in health institutions.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) of patients with chronic wounds. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study composed of 74 patients with chronic wounds accompanied at a reference center for the treatment of complex wounds in Teresina, state of Piaui. Data were collected using the Katz index and the Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule. Results: Among the domains, the “well-being” had a lower mean score and the degree of dependence obtained a significant association with the well-being and “social life” domains. The bathing, dressing, personal hygiene and locomotion activities showed an association between the domains of QoL. Conclusion: The degree of independence in performing the basic activities of daily living, especially bathing, dressing and personal hygiene, presented higher scores between domains, indicating a better QoL. It is expected that the implantation of measures that help to preserve the functional capacity will improve the patients’ QoL.
