The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit Comfort Questionnaire (EMUCQ) is a self-assessment instrument to measure perceived patient comfort during hospitalization in an EMU. This study aimed at initially determining the content validity by rating the content validity index (CVI).
Nine experts judged the 60-item EMUCQ-1 by filling out a content validation form. The CVI was computed on item (I-CVI) and at an average scale (S-CVI/Ave) level.
As many as 26 items remained unchanged and 12 items were reworded to prepare the 38-item EMUCQ-2 (I-CVI scores ≥ .78). Fourteen items were omitted and an additional eight items were put aside for further evaluation. The S-CVI/Ave reached .90.
The first results indicate the EMUCQ-2 to be valid in terms of content. Further assessment by members of the target population is advisable.
癫痫监测单元舒适度问卷(EMUCQ)是一种自我评估工具,用于衡量癫痫监测单元(EMU)住院患者的感知舒适度。本研究旨在通过对内容效度指数(CVI)进行评分,初步确定其内容效度。
9名专家通过填写内容效度表格对60项的EMUCQ-1进行评判。计算项目层面的内容效度指数(I-CVI)和量表平均层面的内容效度指数(S-CVI/Ave)。
多达26项保持不变,12项重新措辞,形成了38项的EMUCQ-2(I-CVI分数≥0.78)。14项被删除,另外8项被搁置以待进一步评估。S-CVI/Ave达到0.90。
初步结果表明EMUCQ-2在内容方面是有效的。建议由目标人群成员进行进一步评估。
