Children served as content validity experts to develop a self-report instrument for pediatric nursing research. Their input ensured the measure accurately reflected children's illness-related uncertainty, enhancing its psychometric soundness.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing Research
  • Child Psychology
  • Health Measurement

Background:

  • Developing instruments to assess children's cognitive and emotional states is crucial in pediatric nursing.
  • Existing research often lacks child-centered perspectives in instrument development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the methodology of using children as content validity experts.
  • To inform the development of child-appropriate self-report instruments.

Main Methods:

  • Six children (ages 8-16) undergoing cancer treatment acted as content experts.
  • Children reviewed a measure of illness-related uncertainty, evaluating item representativeness and scale relevance.
  • Guidance followed established recommendations for qualitative to quantitative measurement transitions.

Main Results:

  • Children effectively performed expert review tasks.
  • Twenty items were accepted by most child experts; two items were revised based on feedback.
  • Minor initial difficulties were noted in generalizing item relevance beyond personal experience.

Conclusions:

  • Involving children as content validity experts is vital for creating psychometrically sound measures.
  • This approach enhances the study of factors impacting child and family health.
  • Child perspectives are essential for accurate health-related uncertainty measurement.
