Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the "Caring Ability of Family Caregivers of Patients with Cancer Scale" in parents of children with cancer".

Methods

The current study has a methodological design. The study group consisted of 493 parents of children with oncological problems who were followed in the pediatric hematology-oncology departments of three university hospitals. Data were collected between January and December 2021 through convenience sampling. The face, content construct validity, internal consistency, and scale stability were evaluated. SPSS 26.0 and LISREL 8.80 package programs were used to analyze the data.

Results

In the confirmatory factor analysis; root mean- mean square error of approximation, comparative fit index, normed fit index, and non-normed fit index were determined to be 0.08, 0.93, 0.91, and 0.92, respectively. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient obtained from the entire scale was calculated to be 0.88, the stability correlation coefficient was 0.84 (p < .005) and the item-total correlation coefficient was calculated between 0.249 and 0.716.

Conclusions

The scale adapted to Turkish culture can be considered a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of the caring ability of family caregivers of patients with cancer.

Implications for Nursing Practice

The scale can be used to assess parents' caregiving abilities, to determine their strengths and weaknesses. In this respect, it can contribute to the creation of an education plan, the development of parents' caregiving abilities and the increase in the quality of care.

儿科肿瘤护理人员家庭护理能力评估量表的土耳其验证和文化适应性。

研究目的本研究旨在调查土耳其版 "癌症患者家庭照顾者照顾能力量表 "在癌症患儿父母中的心理测量特性：本研究采用方法学设计。研究小组由 493 名肿瘤患儿的父母组成，他们在三所大学医院的儿科血液肿瘤科接受随访。数据收集时间为 2021 年 1 月至 12 月，采用方便抽样法。对量表的面效度、内容建构效度、内部一致性和稳定性进行了评估。采用 SPSS 26.0 和 LISREL 8.80 软件包对数据进行分析：在确认性因素分析中，均方根近似误差、比较拟合指数、规范拟合指数和非规范拟合指数分别为 0.08、0.93、0.91 和 0.92。整个量表的 Cronbach's alpha 信度系数为 0.88，稳定性相关系数为 0.84 (p < .005)，项目-总相关系数在 0.249 和 0.716 之间：结论：根据土耳其文化改编的量表是评估癌症患者家庭照顾者照顾能力的有效、可靠的工具：该量表可用于评估父母的护理能力，以确定他们的长处和短处。对护理实践的启示：该量表可用于评估父母的护理能力，确定他们的长处和短处，从而有助于制定教育计划、培养父母的护理能力和提高护理质量。
