BACKGROUND:Intrahospital transport of critically ill patients is a common practice in intensive care units (ICUs), where patients' safety is constantly challenged in high-intensity and dynamic environments. While Intrahospital Transport Safety Scale (IHTSS) is widely used internationally to evaluate the intrahospital transport safety, it has not been introduced in China.OBJECTIVES:This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the IHTSS scale among critical care nurses in China.METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted using a cluster sampling method. A total of 544 critical care nurses from 25 ICUs in 10 tertiary hospitals were recruited. We employed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine the questionnaire's underlying factor structure, ensuring construct validity. Additionally, internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, test-retest reliability, and corrected item-total correlation.RESULTS:The Chinese version of the scale displayed robust psychometric properties, with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.976, a split-half reliability of 0.906, and a test-retest reliability of 0.856. EFA revealed a robust four-factor model that accounted for 75.970% of the variance, with the factor loadings of the items ranging from 0.433 to 0.951. CFA indicated a strong model fit, with a chi-square to degrees of freedom ratio (CMIN/DF) of 2.765, comparative fit index (CFI) of 0.943, incremental fit index (IFI) of 0.943, and goodness-of-fit index (GFI) of 0.845, supporting the efficacy of the four-factor model in assessing intrahospital transport safety for critically ill patients.CONCLUSION:The Chinese version of the IHTSS demonstrated favourable reliability and validity among critical care nurses in China, making it a suitable tool for measuring the level of intrahospital transport safety for critically ill patients.
Background Intrahospital transport of critically ill patients is a common occurrence in intensive care units, where the challenging nature of high-intensity work and dynamic environments often poses patient safety risks. The Intrahospital Transport Safety Scale is a favorable self-report measurement tool utilized to evaluate the safety of Intrahospital transport, but it has not been used in China before. Objectives This study aimed to validate the reliability and validity of the scale among critical care nurses in China. Methods A cross-sectional design employing cluster random sampling was used, involving a total of 544 critical care nurses. The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Intrahospital Transport Safety Scale were examined. Results The Chinese version of the scale displayed robust psychometric properties, with Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.976, a split-half reliability of 0.906, and a test-retest reliability of 0.856. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a four-factor model that explained 75.970% of the variance. The factor loadings of the items ranged from 0.433 to 0.951. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a strong model fit, with a chi-square to degrees of freedom ratio (CMIN/DF) of 2.765, comparative fit index (CFI) of 0.943, incremental fit index (IFI) of 0.943, and goodness-of-fit index (GFI) of 0.845, supporting the efficacy of the four-factor model in assessing intrahospital transport safety for critically ill patients. Conclusion The Chinese version of the Intrahospital Transport Safety Scale demonstrated favorable reliability and validity among critical care nurses in China, making it a suitable tool for measuring the level of Intrahospital transport safety for critically ill patients.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. METHODS: Random sampling is utilized to obtain a sample of 90 patients. The behavioral problems of the patients are detected by Achenbach Children's Behavior Scale. Parental emotional problems are investigated by the Self-Rating Depression Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. RESULTS: The results demonstrate that the detection rate of behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is 53.3% (48/90). Among these behavioral problems, an abnormal rate is higher in the four dimensions: thinking, violation of discipline, social interaction, and aggression. The anxiety and depression scores of caregivers are statistically higher in the abnormal group than in the normal group. The results of the multivariate analysis show that the anxiety degree of the parents had a significant impact on the behavior of the children. CONCLUSIONS: Children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia are facing the issues of high rates of behavioral problems. Parents of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia had higher levels of anxiety and depression than parents of normal children. The anxiety and depressive state of mind of parents or caregivers had a significant impact on the behavior of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.
Aim: To investigate the status of the family resilience score of caregivers of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) and analyse its influencing factors to provide a reference and basis for clinical formulation of a family resilience intervention programme. Methods: A total of 379 families of children with CPT were included in this study, which used a combination questionnaire to investigate the families of children with CPT. The researchers sent a link to the questionnaire to all eligible subjects to conduct a survey on the characteristics of families of children with CPT. Single factor analysis was used to compare the total scores of family resilience. Multiple linear regression was used to determine meaningful variables for single factor analysis. Results: The average family resilience score was 151.79 +/- 30.79, the lowest score was 20 and the highest score was 231. The CPT usually occurred in unilateral limbs (37.63%). The payment methods of medical expenses were through a rural cooperative medical system (44.85%). The caregivers were mostly the mothers (62.80%) and caregivers were 31-40 years old (62.27%). Most caregivers were farmers (30.34%). The average monthly income of the families in the past year was 1000-5000 yuan (54.09%). There were significant differences in family resilience scores between caregivers' working conditions (P = 0.039) and average monthly incomes in the past year (P = 0.008). The working conditions of caregivers and the average monthly income of families in the past year were the main factors affecting the family resilience of caregivers of children with CPT. Conclusion: The caregivers' working conditions and the average monthly income of families were the influencing factors in the family resilience score.
Objective:To explore the family resilience resources in parents of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) , so as to provide a reference for formulating nursing intervention to improve their family resilience.Methods:From December 2020 to January 2021, purposive sampling was used to select 13 father or mother of children with CPT in the Department of Orthopedics of Hunan Children's Hospital as the research object. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents of children with CPT using the phenomenological method in qualitative research. Colaizzi 7-step method was used to organize, summarize, analyze and refine the data.Results:The family resilience resources of parents of children with CPT were reflected in three aspects, namely, personal resources, family resources and social resources.Conclusions:Family resilience interventions should make full use of their own resources when implemented in parents of children with CPT. Individualized continuous intervention should be provided by taking into account the learning ability and psychological state of the children's parents and in combination with specific needs. The intervention target should include as many family members as possible, and strengthen the establishment of a diversified support system to help parents of children with a large number of social resources.
