- Clinical Decision-Making in Nursing Scale (CDMNS-PT©) in nursing students: translation and validationPublication . Duarte, Hugo Miguel Santos; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos Coelho RodriguesObjectives: to validate, for the Portuguese population, the Clinical Decision-Making Nursing Scale© (CDMNS©). Methods: this methodological study involved 496 nursing students who filled in a questionnaire created using sociodemographic and academic data, and the scale to evaluate the making of decisions in nursing. Results: the confirmatory factorial analysis showed that the adjustment of the factorial structure has good quality, being made up by three factors (X2/gl = 2.056; GFI = 0.927; CFI = 0.917; RMSEA = 0.046; RMR = 0.039; SRMR = 0.050). For the scale to be reliable, it had to include only the reliability of the scale required it to be constituted by 23 items, with correlation values that varied from 0.184 and 0.610, and a global Cronbach's Alpha of 0.851, which showed its good reliability. Conclusions: the CDMNS-PT© is valid and reliable, showing a high potential to be used in clinical practice and investigation.
- Construction and validation of “Diabetes Education Process (DEP)” scalePublication . Menino, Eva Guilherme; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos Coelho Rodrigues; Louro, Maria Clarisse Carvalho MartinsNursing interventions in diabetes education are considered relevant in order to achieve proper outcomes. It is important to know what nurses do in this field and for this purpose we need valid and reliable instruments. Objective: To develop and determine the psychometric characteristics of Diabetes Education Process Scale (DEP). Methods: Based on the question “What interventions nurses develop in their practice in diabetes education?", we developed two studies: (a) a qualitative one in order to identify relevant variables to measure in diabetes education; and (b) a quantitative and methodological study of validation of DEP scale. Results: We identified four guidelines in qualitative study through which emerged the relevant variables for the evaluation of therapeutic education. We applied this DEP Scale to a sample of 104 nurses, with an average age of 41.3 years (SD = 8.1). DEP Scale has in its dimensions α values between 0.6720 and 0.834, revealing reasonable internal consistency. The scale revealed also validity characteristics. Conclusion: We concluded that it is important to know nurses practices in order to let emerge their contribution to patient care. For this purpose, we need valid and reliable instruments. DEP Scale proved itself to be valid and reliable, so it can be used to access nurses´ interventions in diabetes education.
- Exercício da parentalidade positiva pelos pais de crianças até três anos: construção e validação de escalas de medidaPublication . Lopes, Maria da Saudade de Oliveira Custódio; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos Coelho RodriguesOs objetivos deste estudo foram descrever a construção e obtenção de algumas evidências de validade de três escalas multidimensionais em que os mesmos 30 itens, distribuídos por cinco dimensões, medem a autoperceção da confiança, das dificuldades e da necessidade de conhecimentos dos pais no exercício da parentalidade positiva, nos primeiros três anos da criança. O conteúdo das escalas resultou da literatura e de estudos exploratórios e foi validado por peritos. A análise da sua fidedignidade e validade, por meio de correlações de Pearson e coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, partiu dos resultados de um questionário aplicado a uma amostra não probabilística de 1.011 pais. Nas dimensões e itens, os valores de α situaram-se entre 0,769 e 0,890 e os de r foram >0,37; p<0,01. Concluiu-se que as escalas medem três variáveis que operacionalizam o exercício da parentalidade positiva, e a sua utilização permite direcionar o apoio de enfermagem.
- Transcultural translation and validation of Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric©Publication . Duarte, Hugo Miguel Santos; Lasater, Kathie; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos Coelho RodriguesOBJECTIVES: to translate and cross-culturally validate the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric© (LCJR©) instrument for nursing students. METHODS: the application of LCJR-PT© was preceded by a linguistic translation into Portuguese, based on the translation-back-translation method. This psychometric study involved 32 nursing students from a program in Portugal. Data were collected through observations of two independent observers during the performance of the practices developed by the students, through the scenarios validated by experts of high and of medium-fidelity simulation. RESULTS: of the 64 observations obtained from the practices of nursing students, the value of intra-class correlations in the 4 aspects of the instrument exceeded 0.792. There was a global Cronbach's alpha of LCJR-PT© of 0.921 and 0.876 in Observers 1 and 2 respectively, with a statistically significant level of agreement. CONCLUSIONS: the LCJR-PT© is a valid and reliable instrument, demonstrating a high potential for its use in clinical education and nursing research.
