The instrument called Families Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes (FINC-NA) is used to measure nurses' attitudes toward involving families in their nursing care. The aim of this study is to evaluate the FINC-NA scale in a population of Dutch nurses and add new psychometric information to existing knowledge about this instrument. Using a cross-sectional design, 1,211 nurses received an online application in 2015. Psychometric properties were based on polychoric correlations and the Generalized Partial Credit Model. A total of 597 (49%) nurses responded to the online application. Results confirmed a four-subscale structure. All response categories were utilized, although some ceiling effects occurred. Most items increase monotonically, and the majority of items discriminate well between different latent trait scores of nurses with some items providing more information than others. This study reports the psychometric properties of the Dutch language FINC-NA instrument. New insights into the construct and content of items enable the possibility of a more generic instrument that could be valid across several cultures.
名为“家庭在护理中的重要性-护士态度（FINC-NA）”的工具用于衡量护士在护理中让家庭成员参与的态度。本研究的目的是评估荷兰护士群体中 FINC-NA 量表，并为该工具的现有知识增加新的心理计量学信息。采用横断面设计，2015 年，1211 名护士收到了在线申请。心理计量学特性基于多项相关和广义部分信用模型。共有 597 名（49%）护士对在线申请做出了回应。结果证实了一个四分量表结构。虽然出现了一些天花板效应，但所有的反应类别都得到了利用。大多数项目单调递增，大多数项目在护士的不同潜在特质分数之间很好地区分，有些项目比其他项目提供更多的信息。本研究报告了荷兰语 FINC-NA 工具的心理计量学特性。对项目的结构和内容的新见解使更通用的工具成为可能，可以在多个文化中有效。
