“…There are limited studies describing or testing clinical governance models to oversee CCOS implementation, despite the need for administration and governance of RRS being identified as important factors. 106 Nevertheless, building a coalition of key leaders to guide change is necessary to get the CCOS strategy approved and implemented. When planning for a CCOS, a strong rationale including good data demonstrating the magnitude and impact of the current problem and how a CCOS may solve this problem is needed.…”

“…It was mainly used to evaluate nurses’ attitudes toward recognizing early and significant deterioration with high reliability and validity. Currently, most research has focused on the perceptions and responses of clinicians and hospital administrators to the clinical deterioration of patients ( Allen et al, 2018 ; Xiong et al, 2022 ). There is no quantitative assessment of nurses’ attitudes toward identifying early and significant ward deterioration in China.…”

BackgroundIn China, clinical deterioration events present a real problem for every clinical nurse. Patient deterioration is determined in part by nurses’ attitudes toward early recognition of clinical deterioration. However, research on attitudes toward the early identification of clinical deterioration is still in its infancy, and even less research has been done on ward nurses’ attitudes toward the early identification of clinical deterioration. To drive behavioral change and improve the care of deteriorating patients, nurses need comprehensive, valid, and reliable tools to assess their attitudes toward early identification of deterioration.ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to translate the Attitudes Toward Recognizing Early and Noticeable Deterioration (ATREND) scale into Chinese and to assess its validity and reliability tests.MethodsFrom March 2022 to July 2022, the ATREND scale was translated, back-translated, and cross-culturally adapted into the Chinese version using a modified Brislin translation model. Then, 460 ward nurses were recruited from tertiary Grade A general hospitals in two cities: Shenyang and Jinzhou in Liaoning Province, China. Reliability analyses were conducted using internal consistency, split-half, and test–retest reliability. We convened a committee of experts to determine the validity of the content. Tests of the structural validity of the scale were conducted using exploratory and validation factor analyses.ResultsThe Cronbach’s α value of the Chinese version of the ATREND scale was 0.804, and the Cronbach’s α value of the dimensions ranged from 0.782 to 0.863. The split-half reliability and test–retest reliability were 0.846 and 0.711, respectively. Furthermore, the scale has an index of content validity of 0.922, indicating a high level of content validity. In exploratory factor analysis, eigenvalues, total variance explained, and scree plot supported a three-factor structure. The three-factor model supported by this study was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Moreover, the model fitting indexes (e.g., χ2/DF = 1.498, GFI = 0.954, RMSEA = 0.047) were all within acceptable limits based on the CFA.ConclusionThe Chinese version of the scale is reliable and valid among ward nurses. Nursing educators and clinicians will be able to develop targeted educational programs to enhance the competence and behaviors of Chinese ward nurses in recognizing clinical deterioration. It will be based on the developed scale to assess Chinese nurses’ attitudes and practices regarding early recognition of clinical deterioration. As a result, it is necessary to consider the Chinese scale’s three-factor structure. The developed three-factor structured scale will assess Chinese ward nurses’ attitudes and practices toward patient observation and vital sign-monitoring empowerment, enlightening them on the importance of patient observation, encouraging ward nurses to use a wider range of patient assessment techniques to capture early signs of clinical deterioration, and helping ward nurses to develop clinical confidence to monitor clinical deterioration.
