Caring is an integral part of the nursing profession, often viewed as an abstract and immeasurable behavior. However, caring behaviors can be measured and evaluated, ultimately improving care outcomes and practices. To accomplish this, a valid and reliable tool for measuring caring behaviors is essential. One such tool is the Caring Behaviors Assessment Tool Nursing Version-Short Form (CBAN-SF), which has not yet been translated and psychometrically evaluated in Iran.
This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the CBAN-SF.
A methodological study was conducted at two hospitals affiliated with Shahroud University of Medical Sciences using a cross-sectional approach. The CBAN-SF was translated into Persian following the forward-backward procedure outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. The validity (including face, content, and construct) and reliability (encompassing internal consistency and stability) of the Persian version of the CBAN-SF were assessed. In order to assess construct validity, 400 eligible clinical nurses were included in the study. The first 200 samples were used to conduct exploratory factor analysis (EFA), while the second 200 samples were used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was gauged through Cronbach's alpha coefficient, MacDonald's omega coefficient for internal consistency, and intraclass correlation coefficient for stability.
The assessment of content validity and EFA resulted in the removal of one item and six others, leaving a final set of 20 items. These were divided into four factors: "dignified care," "expression of feelings," "self-sufficiency and self-belief," and "patient-centered care," which together explained 56.82% of the total variance. The CFA demonstrated that the model closely matched the observed data. Furthermore, each subscale exhibited strong internal consistency and stability.
It can be concluded that the Persian version of the CBAN-SF shows adequate validity and reliability in evaluating the caring behavior of clinical nurses.
关怀是护理专业不可或缺的一部分，通常被视为一种抽象且难以衡量的行为。然而，关怀行为是可以被测量和评估的，最终能改善护理结果和实践。要做到这一点，一个有效且可靠的测量关怀行为的工具至关重要。其中一个工具是《关怀行为评估工具护理版 - 简表》（CBAN - SF），该工具在伊朗尚未进行翻译和心理测量学评估。
本研究旨在评估波斯语版CBAN - SF的心理测量学特性。
采用横断面研究方法，在沙赫鲁德医科大学附属的两家医院进行了一项方法学研究。按照世界卫生组织（WHO）指南概述的前后翻译程序，将CBAN - SF翻译成波斯语。评估了波斯语版CBAN - SF的效度（包括表面效度、内容效度和结构效度）和信度（包括内部一致性和稳定性）。为了评估结构效度，研究纳入了400名符合条件的临床护士。前200个样本用于进行探索性因子分析（EFA），而后200个样本用于进行验证性因子分析（CFA）。通过Cronbach's alpha系数、用于内部一致性的MacDonald's omega系数以及用于稳定性的组内相关系数来衡量信度。
内容效度评估和EFA导致删除了一个项目和其他六个项目，最终保留了20个项目。这些项目被分为四个因子：“尊严护理”、“情感表达”、“自给自足与自信”以及“以患者为中心的护理”，这四个因子共同解释了总方差变异的56.82%。CFA表明该模型与观测数据紧密匹配。此外，每个子量表都表现出很强的内部一致性和稳定性。
可以得出结论，波斯语版CBAN - SF在评估临床护士的关怀行为方面显示出足够的效度和信度。
