A patient's trusting attitude towards technology used in their medical care may be a predictor of acceptance or rejection of the technology and, by extension, the physician. The aim of this study was to rigorously determine the validity of an instrument for measuring patients' trust in medical technology. Instrument validity was established based on a framework, which included test and data evidence for validity assessment. The framework for validity assessment evaluates the instrument on content, substantive, structural, generalizability, external and consequential aspects of validity. The results of the current study show that the instrument is reliable and valid for assessing a patient's trust in obstetric medical technology.
患者对医疗护理中使用的技术的信任态度可能是其对技术接受或拒绝的预测指标，进而也可能是对医生的接受或拒绝的预测指标。本研究的目的是严格确定用于测量患者对医疗技术信任度的工具的有效性。根据一个框架确定工具的有效性，该框架包括有效性评估的测试和数据证据。有效性评估框架从内容、实质、结构、可推广性、外部和结果方面对工具进行评估。当前研究的结果表明，该工具可靠且有效，可用于评估患者对产科医疗技术的信任度。
