DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY TESTING OF A FAMILY-CENTERED CARE MEASUREMENT FORM FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS
Keywords:
family-centered care for pediatric patients, pediatric patients, confirmatory factor analysisAbstract
This descriptive research aimed to develop and validate a family-centered care (FCC) measurement form for pediatric patients. The total sample consisted of 319 parents of pediatric patients admitted to the pediatric ward at Ramathibodi hospital, recruited using a purposive selection technique. The research instrument was the FCC measurement with a 5-point rating scale. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
Findings demonstrated that the FCC measurement consisted of six components: 1) dignity and respect, 2) communication and information sharing, 3) empowerment, 4) collaboration, 5) equity-oriented care, and 6) developmental and psychosocial needs. The measurement contained 35 items with a content validity index ranging from .87 to 1.00. For reliability testing, each component’s reliability coefficient ranged from .886 to .965, with an overall reliability coefficient of .984. For construct validity testing, the exploratory factor analysis exhibited five components with Eigenvalues greater than 1.0. The measurement explained 82.28% of the total variance for the FCC of pediatric patients. Additionally, the construct validity tested by confirmatory factor analysis revealed empirical data confirming the use of the FCC measurement ( 2 (df = 526, N = 319) = 1,316.299, p = .000, 2/df = 2.50, CFI = .931, TLI = .922, RMSEA = .069, SRMR = .046).
This study suggests that the developed FCC measurement instrument is valid and reliable for assessing nursing care with FCC from the perspective of parents.
