The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the V-scale, which measures nurses' attitudes towards vital signs monitoring in the detection of clinical deterioration.
This validity and reliability study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Ankara, Turkey, in 2016. A total of 169 ward nurses participated in the study. Exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and the intraclass correlation coefficient were used to determine the validity and reliability of the scale.
A 5-factor, 16-item scale explained 60.823% of the total variance according to the validity analysis. Our version matched the original scale in terms of the number of items and factor structure. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Turkish version of the V-scale was 0.764. The test-retest reliability results were 0.855 for the overall intraclass correlation coefficient, and the t-test result was P > 0.05.
The V-scale is a reliable and valid instrument to measure Turkish nurses' attitudes towards vital signs monitoring in the detection of clinical deterioration.
本研究旨在确定V量表土耳其语版本的有效性和可靠性，该量表用于衡量护士在临床病情恶化检测中对生命体征监测的态度。
2016年在土耳其安卡拉的一家三级医院进行了这项有效性和可靠性研究。共有169名病房护士参与了该研究。采用探索性因素分析、克朗巴哈α系数和组内相关系数来确定该量表的有效性和可靠性。
根据有效性分析，一个包含5个因子、16个条目的量表解释了总方差的60.823%。我们的版本在条目数量和因子结构方面与原始量表相匹配。V量表土耳其语版本的克朗巴哈α系数为0.764。重测信度结果显示，总体组内相关系数为0.855，t检验结果为P>0.05。
V量表是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于衡量土耳其护士在临床病情恶化检测中对生命体征监测的态度。
