[Compilation and evaluation of perioperative nursing quality assessment scale]

To compile and evaluate the Chinese version of perioperative nursing quality assessment scale, detect and verify the reliability and validity of evaluation scale, and establish a scientific evaluation system.

We applied Tuija Leinonene and Helena Leino-kilpi scales as the theoretical framework, and established perioperative nursing quality assessment scale by translation, language study, and expert consultation. The questionnaire survey population was 276 patients who had surgery and 200 nurses working in the operating rooms at the 3 Affiliated Hospitals of Central South University. The scale was tested validity and reliability.

Perioperative nurse quality evaluation scale consisted of 32 items and 7 dimensions, including body care, receive information, support, respect, medical staff characteristics, environment and nursing process. The test-retest reliability of scale was 0.977 for patients and 0.997 for nurses. The split half reliability of scale was 0.761 for patients and 0.887 for nurses. The Cronbach's α of total scale for the patients was 0.918, and the Cronbach's α of factors was 0.658- 0.838. The Cronbach's α of total scale for the nurses was 0.932, and the Cronbach's α of factors was 0.650-0.836. The correlation coefficient of scale for the patients was 0.363-0.603; the factors and the total correlation coefficient was 0.535-0.788. The correlation coefficient of scale for the nurses was 0.410-0.700; the factors and the total correlation coefficient was 0.743-0.902.

The Chinese version of the perioperative nursing quality assessment scale is a measurement instrument with a high level of validity and reliability for Chinese society and can be used to determine the quality of perioperative nursing care in our country.
