Although various measure development guidelines exist, practical guidance on how to systematically generate items is nascent. This article provides practical guidance on item generation in measure development and the use of a Table of Specifications (TOS) in this process.
In addition to a review of the literature, the item generation process within an ongoing study to develop a valid and reliable patient-reported measure of compassion is provided.
Consensus on an initial pool of 109 items and their response scale was achieved with the aid of a TOS.
Dynamic, experiential, and relational care constructs such as compassion lie at the heart of nursing. Practical guidance on item generation is needed to allow nurses to identify, measure, and improve compassion in research and practice.
尽管存在各种测量工具开发指南，但关于如何系统地生成条目（指标）的实用指导尚处于起步阶段。本文提供了测量工具开发中条目生成的实用指导以及在此过程中使用双向细目表（TOS）的方法。
除了文献综述外，还介绍了一项正在进行的研究中的条目生成过程，该研究旨在开发一种有效且可靠的患者报告的同情心测量工具。
借助双向细目表，就109个条目的初始池及其反应量表达成了共识。
诸如同情心等动态、体验性和关系性的护理构念是护理的核心。需要有关条目生成的实用指导，以便护士在研究和实践中识别、测量和提高同情心。
