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.
Abstract:
Background and Purpose: Family-centered care (FCC) is a philosophy of care that applies to all areas of pediatric nursing and is a key component of the care model for patient safety and management activities in the medical environment of hospitalized children. The aim of this study was to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Family-Centered Care Questionnaire-Revised (FCCQ-R). Methods: A total of 239 questionnaires were completed by pediatric nurses at four consenting general hospitals. Results: Fourteen items were removed from the original questionnaire through exploratory factor analysis and nine subscales were reduced to five. The factor loadings of the 30 items on the five subscales ranged from 0.50-0.80. The model of the Korean version of the questionnaire was validated by an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability analysis for internal consistency showed an acceptable to high Cronbach's α of 0.96 in total and the subscales ranged from 0.59-0.92. Conclusions: This study verified the validity and reliability of the tool to measure the perception of FCC. Future research will need to correlate FCC with more relevant measures, such as the nurse-parent partnership measure tool, to confirm predictive and concurrent validity. The Korean version of the FCCQ-R of 30 questions on five subscales is a valid and reliable measurement of Korean nurses' perceptions of FCC.
