Abstract
Aim
Evidence-based indicators are needed to increase the frequency of practicing care for hiesho, which can be a risk factor during childbirth. Such practice will lead to hiesho prevention. This study aimed to develop a Hiesho Care Practice Scale (HCPS) for pregnant women and examine its reliability and validity.
Methods
To develop a HCPS and examine its reliability and validity, we conducted a questionnaire-based survey among nurses who provide hiesho care for pregnant women in Japan.
Results
The analysis included 100 participants (recovery rate: 96%). Exploratory factor analysis produced four factors and 20 items. The model's fit indices obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis include goodness of fit of .80, adjusted goodness of fit of .75, comparative fit index of .88, and root mean squared error of approximation of .08. The correlation coefficients for the patient coaching skill evaluation scale for criterion-related validity test ranged from .23 to .51 (p < .01).
Cronbach's α was .88, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was .81.
Conclusions
The HCPS developed in this study consisted of four factors and 20 items, and its reliability and validity were verified. This scale enables the subjective and objective evaluation of hiesho care practice in the nursing profession. It may contribute to standardizing and developing improvement measures for hiesho care among pregnant women by nurses and midwives.
