Insights

This study validated the Korean version of the Family-Centered Care Questionnaire-Revised (FCCQ-R) for pediatric nurses. The 30-item, 5-subscale tool is a reliable measure of family-centered care perceptions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Family-centered care (FCC) is fundamental in pediatric nursing for patient safety and management.
  • Hospitalized children benefit from a care model emphasizing FCC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Family-Centered Care Questionnaire-Revised (FCCQ-R).

Main Methods:

  • A total of 239 pediatric nurses from four hospitals completed the FCCQ-R.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used for validation.
  • Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency.

Main Results:

  • The Korean FCCQ-R was reduced to 30 items across five subscales.
  • Factor loadings ranged from 0.50-0.80, confirming model validity.
  • High reliability was found with a total Cronbach's α of 0.96.

Conclusions:

  • The Korean FCCQ-R is a valid and reliable tool for measuring Korean nurses' perceptions of FCC.
  • Further research should explore predictive and concurrent validity with other measures.
  • This validated tool supports the assessment of FCC in Korean pediatric nursing settings.

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Data Validation01:03

Data Validation

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Family Therapy

Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...
