This article reports an analysis of the internal properties of an instrument that has been widely used to measure the quality of nursing care. Three-fourths of the 106 questions in the instrument failed to meet minimum standard psychometric test criteria. The better questions dealt with housekeeping rather than nursing duties; the instrument would appear to be reliable as a measure of cleanliness and orderliness, but not of actual nursing care.
本文报告了对一种广泛用于衡量护理质量的工具的内部属性的分析。该工具中的106个问题中有四分之三未达到心理测量测试的最低标准。较好的问题涉及家政服务而非护理职责;该工具作为衡量清洁和整洁程度的指标似乎是可靠的,但作为实际护理质量的衡量指标则不然。
