Abstract

BACKGROUND Chronic pain is the type of pain that healthcare professionals frequently encounter. Health care students' attitudes towards pain management are not sufficient and this negatively affects their chronic pain management. When students cannot manage the chronic pain they will experience professional burnout, depersonalization, and a decrease in compassion and empathy in patient care. Therefore, the first step in improving health care students' attitudes towards patients with chronic pain is to determine their attitudes. OBJECTIVE This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the Scale for Healthcare Professionals' Attitudes towards Patients with Chronic Pain (HCPAPCP Scale) in healthcare students. METHOD This quantitative study was conducted with 205 health care students in January-February 2022. Data were collected online with Personal Information Form and the HCPAPCP Scale. To determine the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and test-retest, and for construct validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. RESULTS The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the two-factor scale consisting of 18 items, the factor structure, and the distribution of factors in items were the same as the findings of the original scale. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was 0.88 for the first factor and 0.74 for the second factor. Test-retest reliability was 0.60. In confirmatory factor analysis, the model had a good and acceptable fit. CONCLUSION We found that the HCPAPCP Scale was valid and reliable in healthcare students.
对医护专业本科生进行有效性和可靠性研究,以解决工作生活中被忽视的问题:对慢性疼痛患者的态度量表
背景:慢性疼痛是医护人员经常遇到的疼痛类型。医学生对疼痛管理的态度不够端正,这对他们的慢性疼痛管理产生了负面影响。当学生无法处理慢性疼痛时,他们就会出现职业倦怠、人格解体以及在护理病人时同情心和同理心下降等问题。因此,要改善医学生对慢性疼痛患者的态度,首先要确定他们的态度。本研究旨在测试医学生对慢性疼痛患者态度量表(HCPAPCP 量表)的有效性和可靠性。数据通过个人信息表和 HCPAPCP 量表在线收集。结果探索性因子分析结果表明,由 18 个条目组成的双因子量表、因子结构和因子在条目中的分布与原始量表的结果一致。第一因子的 Cronbach's Alpha 系数为 0.88,第二因子的 Cronbach's Alpha 系数为 0.74。重测信度为 0.60。结论我们发现 HCPAPCP 量表在医学生中是有效和可靠的。
