This study aimed to establish the validity and reliability of the Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale in Turkey.
This methodological study was conducted between December, 2014, and July, 2017, in the neonatal intensive care unit of 4 hospitals (2 public, 1 university, and 1 private hospital) in the center of a city in eastern Turkey. The study population consisted of all the nurses of the hospitals. No sampling was performed, and the sample consisted of 145 nurses who agreed to participate in the study. The 26-item Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale developed by Kain et al. (2009) was translated into Turkish and then back-translated into English for to determine the validity for Turkey. Experts were consulted to determine the validity of the content. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, test-retest reliability, and item-total correlation were used for reliability. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used for validity.
Content validity index ranged from .8 to 1.0. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was .934, for which the Bartlett's test of sphericity was χ = 415.127, = .000. According to the principal component analysis, the Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale in Turkey. had 3 subscales as did the original Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale. The items had factor loadings greater than .40, and the factors accounted for 55.51% of the total variance. The subscales "organization," "resources," and "clinician" had a Cronbach's alpha of .692, .710, and .680, respectively.
The Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale in Turkey. has a structure similar to that of the original Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale and has high validity and reliability. It is, therefore, a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to identify nurses' attitudes toward neonatal palliative care.
本研究旨在确定新生儿姑息治疗态度量表在土耳其的有效性和可靠性。
本方法学研究于2014年12月至2017年7月在土耳其东部一个城市中心的4家医院（2家公立医院、1家大学医院和1家私立医院）的新生儿重症监护病房进行。研究对象为这些医院的所有护士。未进行抽样，样本由145名同意参与研究的护士组成。由凯恩等人（2009年）编制的包含26个条目的新生儿姑息治疗态度量表被翻译成土耳其语，然后再回译成英语以确定其在土耳其的有效性。咨询专家以确定内容效度。采用克朗巴赫α系数、重测信度和项目-总分相关来评估信度。采用探索性和验证性因素分析来评估效度。
内容效度指数范围为0.8至1.0。凯泽-迈耶-奥尔金抽样适当性度量值为0.934，对此巴特利特球形检验χ = 415.127，P = 0.000。根据主成分分析，土耳其的新生儿姑息治疗态度量表与原始的新生儿姑息治疗态度量表一样有3个分量表。各条目因子载荷大于0.40，这些因子解释了总方差的55.51%。分量表“组织”“资源”和“临床医生”的克朗巴赫α系数分别为0.692、0.710和0.680。
土耳其的新生儿姑息治疗态度量表具有与原始新生儿姑息治疗态度量表相似的结构，具有较高的有效性和可靠性。因此，它是一种有效且可靠的工具，可用于识别护士对新生儿姑息治疗的态度。
