Supporting families experiencing critical illness through family interventions is essential to ease illness burden, enable family management, and reduce their risk for adverse health. Thus far, there is no validated German instrument to measure the perceived support families receive from nurses. We translated the 14-item Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire (ICE-FPSQ) and tested its psychometric properties with 77 family members of intensive care patients. Compared with the original instrument, the construct validity of the German ICE-FPSQ (FPSQ-G) showed unstable results with a partially divergent structure, most likely caused by the limited sample size. The first two principal components explained 61% of the overall variance and a good internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of .92. The FPSQ-G is a promising instrument to measure family members' perceptions of the support they received from nurses in the acute critical care setting but requires further validation.
通过家庭干预来支持患有重病的家庭对于减轻疾病负担、实现家庭管理以及降低其健康不良风险至关重要。迄今为止,还没有经过验证的德语工具来衡量家庭从护士那里获得的感知支持。我们翻译了 14 项冰岛家庭感知支持问卷(ICE-FPSQ),并对 77 名重症监护患者的家属进行了心理测量学特性测试。与原始工具相比,德国 ICE-FPSQ(FPSQ-G)的结构效度显示出不稳定的结果,结构部分发散,最有可能是由于样本量有限所致。前两个主成分解释了总方差的 61%,具有良好的内部一致性,克朗巴赫系数为.92。FPSQ-G 是一种很有前途的工具,可以衡量急性重症监护环境中家庭成员对护士提供支持的感知,但需要进一步验证。
