Abstract

Objective

This is a methodological study aiming to improve a standardised tool to determine the attitudes of pediatric nurses regarding their advocacy role.

Method

Data were collected online to facilitate access to pediatric nurses from different regions and to reach a large sample group. The study was conducted between May and November 2024 with 540 pediatric nurses that met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate. In the data collection phase, the “Introductory Information Form for Pediatric Nurses” and the “Attitude Scale on Advocacy Roles of Pediatric Nurses” were used. Psychometric properties of the scale such as content validity, face validity, construct validity and reliability were tested.

Results

The Scale of Pediatric Nurses' Attitudes Towards Advocacy Roles consists of 17 items in total, showing a four-factor structure which includes “strength of advocacy”, “rejection”, “ownership”, and “determination”. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale is 0.870.

Conclusion

The Scale of Pediatric Nurses' Attitudes Towards Advocacy Roles is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
