Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to construct and validate the health information needs of families of children with cancer in Iran. Methods: The current study used Correlation method (exploratory analysis using principal components analysis method). The statistical population of this study was a total of 729 families of cancer patients referring to Isfahan Seyyed-Al-Shohada (Omid) Hospital from April to September 2018. Based on the Cochran formula, 244 individuals were selected through purposive sampling based on which including and excluding criteria were chosen. Results: The factor analysis (principal components analysis) and Varimax rotation showed four factors, 1) access, presentation and exchange of related health information; 2) provision of cancer related information by the medical staff; 3) health and counseling facilities and services; and 4) Social, economic, and spiritual supports. Totally 56.57% of the variance of the questionnaire items was explained by theses four factors. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients derived from the exploratory factor structure for the whole questionnaire were 0.96. Conclusion: Considering the reliability of the questionnaire, it can be used as a reliable and valid tool in the health system to identifying and meeting the information needs of the families of children with cancer.
癌症儿童家庭健康信息需求问卷的编制和验证
目的:本研究的目的是构建和验证伊朗癌症儿童家庭的健康信息需求。方法:本研究采用相关分析法(主成分分析法探索性分析)。本研究的统计人群为2018年4月至9月在伊斯法罕赛义德-肖哈达(奥米德)医院就诊的729名癌症患者家庭。根据科克伦公式,通过有目的抽样选择244人,并在此基础上选择包括和排除标准。结果:因子分析(主成分分析)和Varimax旋转显示4个因素:1)相关卫生信息的获取、呈现和交流;2)医务人员提供癌症相关信息;3)保健和咨询设施和服务;4)社会、经济和精神支持。问卷项目方差的56.57%被这四个因素解释。从探索性因子结构得出的整个问卷的Cronbach's α信度系数为0.96。结论:考虑到问卷的信度,该问卷可作为卫生系统中识别和满足癌症患儿家庭信息需求的可靠有效工具。
