This study tested the reliability and validity of the refined Family Inventory of Needs-Pediatrics (FIN-PED), the FIN-PED II, a 17-item instrument structured to measure care needs of parents of children with cancer. The instrument comprises three rating scales. The first rating scale measures the importance-of-care needs, the second measures the extent to which needs are met, and the third measures the need for further information. The revised instrument was first pilot tested with an expert panel of three mothers and three fathers of children with cancer who rated the tool for clarity, apparent internal consistency, and content validity. All items met preset criteria for these assessments. The instrument was then mailed to 85 parents of Australian children with cancer and tested for internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability. Thirty-four parents returned the instrument. All three rating scales achieved high estimates of internal consistency. Evidence of the instrument's stability over time was also achieved. This study provided support for the reliability and content validity of the FIN-PED II.
本研究检验了经过改进的儿科需求家庭量表(FIN-PED)即FIN-PED II的信度和效度,这是一个由17个项目构成的工具,旨在测量癌症患儿父母的照护需求。该工具包含三个评定量表。第一个评定量表测量照护需求的重要性,第二个测量需求满足的程度,第三个测量对更多信息的需求。修订后的工具首先在一个由三位癌症患儿母亲和三位父亲组成的专家小组中进行预测试,他们对该工具的清晰度、明显的内部一致性和内容效度进行评分。所有项目均符合这些评估的预设标准。然后,该工具被邮寄给85位患有癌症的澳大利亚儿童的父母,并对其进行内部一致性信度和重测信度测试。34位父母返还了该工具。所有三个评定量表都获得了较高的内部一致性估计值。同时也获得了该工具随时间稳定性的证据。本研究为FIN-PED II的信度和内容效度提供了支持。
