Abstract
ObjectiveTo develop the Perceived Nurse-Patient Relationship Scale and test its reliability and validity.
MethodsBased on literature review, qualitative interviews, and expert consultation, a preliminary draft of the Perceived Nurse-Patient Relationship Scale was developed. From June to August 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 2 578 clinical nurses from 49 ClassⅢ hospitals in Hubei Province as research subjects, and reliability and validity testing were conducted on the scale.
ResultsExploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors, including 18 items, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.702%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fitted well. The scale-content validity index was 0.983, and the item-content validity index was 0.900 to 1.000. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.955, with a split-half reliability of 0.883.
ConclusionsThe Perceived Nurse-Patient Relationship Scale has good reliability and validity, and can be used to measure the nurse-patient relationship perceived by nurses.
