Development and psychometric testing of a new instrument to measure the caring behaviour of nurses in Italian acute care settings

Abstract

The new instrument shows reasonable psychometric properties and is a promising short and widely applicable measure of inpatient perceptions of nurse caring behaviours.

The relationship between nurse managers' leadership style and patients' perception of the quality of the care provided by nurses: Cross sectional survey

“…In particular, nurses" caring behaviours influence patients" experience of the care received and are significantly associated with the quality of nursing care as perceived by patients (Edvardsson, Watt, & Pearce, 2017). Therefore patients' perception of nurses" caring can be considered an appropriate indicator of nursing care quality (Piredda et al, 2015(Piredda et al, , 2017.…”

Why We Have to Develop Instruments of Our Caring Measurement Based on an Indonesian Perspective

“…This study contributes to the operationalization of caring and provides instruments that can be used regardless of the caring model in nursing practice. The Nursing Caring Behavior Scale (NCBS) shows excellent psychometric performance (Piredda, M., Ghezzi, V., Fenizia, E., Marchetti, A., Mannis, M.G.De., Sili, 2017).…”

The development and psychometric testing of three instruments that measure person‐centred caring as three concepts – Personalization, participation and responsiveness

“…Authors of systematic reviews of related topics have also reported this issue (Bowling et al., 2012; Crow et al., 2002; Dy, 2007; Herbert, Gagnon, Rennick, & O'Loughlin, 2009). It has been proposed that there are limitations to using instruments linked to a specific caring theory, as a theory may not reflect a wide range of caring practice (Piredda et al., 2017). However, if measures are not based on a definition, it is difficult to be clear what is being measured and therefore how to interpret the results.…”
