Methods:
This was a methodological study conducted with 222 pediatric nurses. Data were collected using the information form for pediatric nurses and the "stress scale for nurses performing end-of-life care for children." Content and construct validity, item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency were used to evaluate the data. The Global Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs Summit checklist was followed in this study.
Results:
The content validity index of the scale was 0.93. Item-total score correlation values ranged from 0.594 to 0.885. The 5-factor structure of the scale was confirmed as a result of confirmatory factor analysis. Factor loads were greater than 0.30, and fit indices were greater than 0.80. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Turkish version of the scale was 0.97.
Significance Of Results:
The stress scale for nurses performing end-of-life care for children is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the Turkish sample. This scale facilitates the assessment of the stress levels of pediatric nurses who provide end-of-life care to children. Also, this scale can be used in interventional studies to improve the well-being of pediatric nurses.
