|May 24, 2014
Summary
This study developed the Intrapartum Nurses
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Maternal Health
- Obstetrics
Background:
- Intrapartum (IP) nurses' decisions are influenced by their beliefs.
- Understanding these beliefs is crucial for improving birth practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an instrument to measure the birth beliefs of intrapartum nurses.
- To connect nurses' beliefs to their clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- The development process was guided by the theory of planned behavior.
- Methods included domain identification, item generation, and instrumentation.
Main Results:
- The Intrapartum Nurses' Beliefs Related to Birth Practice (IPNBBP) instrument was developed.
- It is an online, self-administered tool with 36 Likert scale items.
- It measures medicalized birth beliefs, normal birth beliefs, and theory of planned behavior beliefs.
Conclusions:
- The IPNBBP instrument, after psychometric testing, can link IP nursing beliefs to practice.
- This may further connect to maternal and neonatal outcomes.
