Children continue to experience unrelieved pain during hospitalization, despite the evidence to guide nurses' pain management practices being readily available. Nurses' knowledge and attitudes have been identified as a possible reason for suboptimal pain management. This study examines the validity and reliability of an existing questionnaire to validate it for use in the population of interest. Initial testing demonstrated low reliability and validity. Modifications to the questionnaire were made on the basis of these results and the feedback provided by experts in pediatric pain management. Subsequent testing demonstrated good validity and reliability, suggesting that the questionnaire is appropriate for measuring nurses' knowledge and attitudes in relation to pediatric pain management.
尽管有现成的证据可指导护士的疼痛管理实践，但儿童在住院期间仍持续经历未缓解的疼痛。护士的知识和态度已被确定为疼痛管理欠佳的一个可能原因。本研究检验了一份现有问卷的有效性和可靠性，以验证其是否适用于目标人群。初步测试显示可靠性和有效性较低。根据这些结果以及儿科疼痛管理专家提供的反馈对问卷进行了修改。随后的测试显示出良好的有效性和可靠性，表明该问卷适合用于测量护士关于儿科疼痛管理的知识和态度。
