Abstract

Purpose: The Healthcare Professional Humanization Scale (HUMAS) is a measure of the evaluation of the humanization of care in nursing professions. Despite being validated for the Spanish language, there still needed validation in Italian, which seems essential considering the cultural differences. Aim: We aimed to test the validity and reliability of the HUMAS with an Italian sample of registered nurses. Methods: The present study used cross-sectional data from 300 nurses that completed the survey. The study's main phases were (a) construction of the Italian version; (b) testing and analyzing the psychometric properties of the scale. The exploratory factor analysis and the Content Validity Index (CVI) were performed. Cronbach's alpha and test-retest were used to determine the reliability. Findings: The final Italian version of HUMAS (HUMAS-I) comprised 19 items grouped into five correlated latent factors, accounting for 68.4% of the variance. Additionally, it exhibited a satisfactory Cronbach's alpha for each latent component and an average CVI for the entire scale of 0.68. Conclusions: The HUMAS-I shows acceptable psychometric proprieties as the original Spanish version. Therefore, it could be an advantageous instrument for use in nursing practice and research.

意大利护理专业人性化量表的验证。

目的：医疗保健专业人性化量表（HUMAS）是评估护理专业人性化护理的一种方法。尽管该量表已在西班牙语中得到验证，但仍需要在意大利语中进行验证，考虑到文化差异，这一点似乎至关重要。目的：我们的目的是在意大利注册护士样本中测试 HUMAS 的有效性和可靠性。研究方法本研究使用了 300 名完成调查的护士的横截面数据。研究的主要阶段是：（a）构建意大利语版本；（b）测试和分析量表的心理测量特性。进行了探索性因子分析和内容效度指数（CVI）分析。Cronbach's alpha 和测试-再测试用于确定信度。研究结果HUMAS 的意大利语最终版本（HUMAS-I）由 19 个项目组成，分为五个相关的潜在因子，占方差的 68.4%。此外，该量表的每个潜在因子都达到了令人满意的 Cronbach's alpha 值，整个量表的平均 CVI 值为 0.68。结论HUMAS-I 与西班牙文原版相比，在心理测量学方面表现出了可接受的特性。因此，HUMAS-I 可以作为护理实践和研究中使用的有利工具。

期刊介绍： Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
