Abstract

Purpose: To develop an exploratory survey measuring family caregiver use of elements of pain assessment in people living with dementia (PLWD).

Method: A survey development process was conducted: Phase 1 (item development), Phase 2 (content validity), and Phase 3 (face validity).

Results: A set of survey questions was developed, and their wording modified after review by experts in survey question writing. Content experts rated the exploratory questions as having item content validity indices (I-CVI) from 0.25 to 1. Questions were further tested with a sample of family caregivers (N = 10) who supported face validity and content validity for questions with a low I-CVI. The final survey has eight quantitative and two free-text questions.

Conclusion: This survey can be used for exploratory purposes to describe pain assessment by family caregivers of PLWD; however, further validation is needed for uses beyond exploratory work. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 17(6), 308-316.].

开发探索性痴呆症家庭照顾者疼痛评估调查。

目的：对痴呆症患者（PLWD）的家庭护理人员使用疼痛评估要素的情况进行探索性调查：方法：开展调查开发过程：第一阶段（项目开发）、第二阶段（内容效度）和第三阶段（面效度）：结果：制定了一套调查问题，并在调查问题编写专家审查后修改了措辞。内容专家将这些探索性问题的项目内容效度指数（I-CVI）评定为 0.25 至 1。在家庭护理人员样本（N = 10）中对问题进行了进一步测试，结果表明，I-CVI 值较低的问题具有表面效度和内容效度。最终的调查问卷包含 8 个定量问题和 2 个自由文本问题：结论：该调查问卷可用于探索性目的，以描述 PLWD 家庭照顾者对疼痛的评估；然而，除探索性工作外，还需要进一步验证。[老年护理研究》，17（6），308-316。］

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
