dc.description.abstract | Aim To test the reliability and validity of the Person-centred care of Older People
with cognitive impairment in Acute Care scale to determine nurses’ perceptions of
person-centred care.
Background One-third of older adults admitted to hospital are at risk of serious
hospital-acquired complications such as falls, infections and pressure injuries
because of cognitive impairment. These risks can be reduced through personcentred
practices. The Person-centred care of Older People with cognitive
impairment in Acute Care scale is a self-report staff instrument to explore the
extent to which person-centred practices are undertaken; however psychometric
testing is limited.
Methods A cross-sectional sample of acute care nurses (n = 240) in Queensland,
Australia completing self-report questionnaires. Psychometric analyses of item
performance, reliability and validity were conducted.
Results Item analysis revealed independent items. One item was removed due to
negatively associating with the scale, improving total Cronbach’s alpha from 0.76
to 0.84. The three original factors were maintained with regrouping of items.
Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the revised model.
Conclusions The revised Person-centred care of Older People with cognitive
impairment in Acute Care scale had satisfactory psychometric properties when
used as a total scale.
Implications for nursing management Scale brevity and simplicity together with
rigorous development and testing indicates that the revised Person-centred care of
Older People with cognitive impairment in Acute Care may be useful for quality
improvement programmes into the care of older people in hospitals. | |
