Abstract

Objectives: Pain management is critical for nurses; therefore, knowledge assessment is also critical. The Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP), designed for testing pain management knowledge among nurses, finds widespread use internationally; yet, key validity evidence according to American Psychological Association standards is missing. Therefore, this study aimed to translate and test the psychometric traits of KASRP based on an item response theory model.

Methods: Cronbach's α was included to assess internal consistency, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was included to assess the total score normal distribution goodness of fit. KASRP was tested using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test for sphericity to examine its suitability for factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis to examine construct evidence. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to assess discriminant evidence. The correlation between KASRP and the Brockopp-Warden Pain Knowledge Questionnaire (BWPKQ) was included as a measure of convergent validity evidence, and correlation with self-assessed knowledge was tested as a divergent validity measure.

Results: The questionnaire was translated using back-forth and parallel translation. The KMO test for sphericity was 0.49 for all items and 0.53 for the adjusted scale without items 30, 33, and 36, with factor analysis explaining 70.42% of the variation suggesting unacceptable construct validity evidence. Cronbach's α was 0.75, suggesting acceptable reliability evidence; the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test revealed an insignificant skewness of -0.195 and a kurtosis of 0.001, while the Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed a significance of p < 0.001. The correlation between KASRP and the BWPKQ was 0.69 (p = 0.0001), suggesting acceptable convergent validity evidence. A correlation between KASRP and self-assessed knowledge of -0.59 was also found, which suggests acceptable divergent validity evidence.

Conclusions: The translated KASRP passed six out of seven tests based on the given sample.

丹麦版疼痛知识和态度调查的验证。

目的：疼痛管理对护士至关重要，因此，知识评估也至关重要。专为测试护士疼痛管理知识而设计的疼痛知识与态度调查（KASRP）在国际上得到了广泛应用，但却缺乏符合美国心理学会标准的关键有效性证据。因此，本研究旨在根据项目反应理论模型翻译并测试 KASRP 的心理测量特征：方法：采用 Cronbach's α 评估内部一致性，采用 Kolmogorov-Smirnov 检验评估总分正态分布的拟合优度。KASRP 采用 Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) 球形度检验来检查其是否适合进行因子分析和探索性因子分析，以检查构建证据。Kruskal-Wallis H 检验用于评估判别证据。KASRP与布洛克普-沃顿疼痛知识问卷（BWPKQ）之间的相关性被列为聚合效度证据，而与自我评估知识的相关性则被测试为发散效度证据：问卷的翻译采用了正反翻译和平行翻译。所有项目的球形度 KMO 检验值为 0.49，调整后的量表（不含项目 30、33 和 36）的球形度检验值为 0.53，因子分析解释了 70.42% 的变异，这表明建构效度证据不可接受。Cronbach'sα为0.75，表明信度可以接受；Kolmogorov-Smirnov检验显示偏度为-0.195，峰度为0.001，不显著；Kruskal-Wallis H检验显示P<0.001。KASRP 与 BWPKQ 之间的相关性为 0.69（p = 0.0001），这表明两者之间存在可接受的趋同效度。KASRP 与自我评估知识之间的相关性为-0.59，这表明发散效度是可以接受的：根据给定样本，翻译后的 KASRP 通过了七项测试中的六项。
