Abstract

Objective: To prepare and validate a scale for assessing care needs in dependent people, based on all fourteen needs included in Virginia Henderson’s theory and Maslow’s Theory of Human Needs. Materials and methods: An observational study was conducted to validate a scale with a sample of 776 care-dependent individuals. Nursing professionals were in charge of writing the items. Correlations between items and factor structure were evaluated using a structural equation model. Reliability was assessed through Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega. Results: The correlations between all fourteen needs were satisfactory. The structure with three dimensions (physiological needs, need for safety and belonging, and need for independence) was satisfactory: CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.94, SRMR = 0.04, and RMSEA = 0.06 (95 % CI: 0.05-0.07). The scale’s reliability was satisfactory, with Cronbach’s alpha = 0.870 and McDonald’s omega = 0.871. Conclusions: This scale allows obtaining a classification score to determine the nursing assistance needs of dependent people. It contributes to the standardization and use of the theories about care and human needs.

依赖者护理需求评估量表的编制

目的:根据维吉尼亚·亨德森理论和马斯洛人类需求理论中的14种需求，编制并验证一个评估被依赖者护理需求的量表。材料与方法:采用观察性研究对776名护理依赖者的量表进行验证。护理专业人员负责撰写这些条目。使用结构方程模型评估项目与因子结构之间的相关性。通过Cronbach 's alpha和McDonald 's omega来评估可靠性。结果:14种需求之间的相关性较好。生理需求、安全与归属需求、独立需求三个维度的结构满意:CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.94, SRMR = 0.04, RMSEA = 0.06 (95% CI: 0.05 ~ 0.07)。量表信度较好，Cronbach’s alpha = 0.870, McDonald’s omega = 0.871。结论:该量表可以获得一个分类分数，以确定受抚养人的护理援助需求。它有助于规范和使用关于护理和人类需求的理论。
