Abstract
This study aimed to translate/validate NiPCAS for use among Iranian NICU nurses. The 26-item NiPCAS was translated into Persian and evaluated for validity and reliability. 230 nurses participated. The NiPCAS-P demonstrated satisfactory face/content validity, with appropriate, clear, and relevant items. The overall test-retest reliability was good. Cronbach's alpha for the three factors (“resources,” “organization,” and “personal experiences/beliefs”) were acceptable. Out of 26 items, 15 loaded on the three factors, explaining 35.75% of the variance. The 15-item NiPCAS-P is a valid tool for examining the attitudes of Iranian NICU nurses towards neonatal palliative care barriers/facilitators. However, the “personal experiences/beliefs” factor may not be as reliable as the other two factors. Developing a context-specific questionnaire to assess nurses' experiences/beliefs in this area is recommended. Similar implications exist for countries with comparable contexts. Research needs to adapt NiPCAS for cross-cultural use and create additional tools to explore multi-dimensional factors affecting the implementation of neonatal palliative care factors.
期刊介绍:
Aims & Scope: This is the practical, bimonthly, research-based journal for all professionals concerned with the care of neonates and their families, both in hospital and the community. It aims to support the development of the essential practice, management, education and health promotion skills required by these professionals. The JNN will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between the range of professionals working in this field; promote cooperation between these professionals; facilitate partnership care with families; provide information and informed opinion; promote innovation and change in the care of neonates and their families; and provide an education resource for this important rapidly developing field.
