PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: A two-phase study was undertaken to test the Family Inventory of Needs--Husbands (FIN-H), a tool designed to measure the information needs of husbands of women with breast cancer and the extent to which these needs are met.
Methodologic survey.
Phase I: a panel of 6 husbands; phase II: 84 husbands of women with breast cancer.
Panel of expert ratings followed by pilot test of the two-part survey.
In phase I, husbands assessed the FIN-H for clarity, internal consistency, and content validity. All preset criteria were met. In phase II, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and internal validity were assessed. Internal consistency estimates as measured by Cronbach's standardized alpha coefficients were 0.91 and 0.93. Test-retest correlations were 0.82 and 0.76 (p = 0.0001). Exploratory factor analysis suggested that the FIN-H consists of five factors.
Initial results suggest that the FIN-H is reliable and valid. Further testing is needed to confirm these results.
Before nurses can address the information needs of husbands of women with breast cancer, use of a reliable and valid assessment tool is recommended.
目的/目标：开展了一项两阶段研究，以测试“家庭需求量表——丈夫版（FIN-H）”，该工具旨在衡量乳腺癌患者丈夫的信息需求以及这些需求得到满足的程度。
方法学调查。
第一阶段：6名丈夫组成的小组；第二阶段：84名乳腺癌患者的丈夫。
专家评级小组，随后对两部分调查进行预试验。
在第一阶段，丈夫们评估了FIN-H的清晰度、内部一致性和内容效度。所有预设标准均得到满足。在第二阶段，评估了内部一致性、重测信度和内部效度。用克朗巴赫标准化α系数衡量的内部一致性估计值分别为0.91和0.93。重测相关性分别为0.82和0.76（p = 0.0001）。探索性因素分析表明FIN-H由五个因素组成。
初步结果表明FIN-H可靠且有效。需要进一步测试以证实这些结果。
在护士能够满足乳腺癌患者丈夫的信息需求之前，建议使用可靠且有效的评估工具。
