Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Eat Sleep Console Nurse Questionnaire (ESCNQ).
Background:
Eat Sleep Console is a new approach to care for opioid-exposed infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and represents a significant change in NAS care practices for nurses. Use of a process and outcomes evaluation tool may provide insight for continuous improvement in the care of infants with NAS. The psychometric properties of the ESCNQ were analyzed in this secondary analysis.
Method:
In a previous project, the ESCNQ was distributed to mother-baby postpartum and neonatal intensive care nurses (n = 52). Reliability testing of the ESCNQ was conducted for this project.
Results:
Cronbach's alpha showed good internal consistency for the Processes scale (α = 0.764, n = 14 items). Perception items were positively, strongly, and significantly associated (r = 0.671, P = < 0.001). The full ESCNQ and other subscales did not demonstrate acceptable internal consistency.
Conclusion:
Following future testing and refinement, the ESCNQ may be a viable option for use in both quality improvement and research settings.
Implications:
Establishing a reliable tool to evaluate processes and outcomes of Eat Sleep Console practices allows healthcare teams to improve the quality of care for infants with NAS.
