“…20 However, our finding contrasts with those of another study on the SHC Partnership Scale for School Nurses, wherein this dimension demonstrated commonality as a unique dimension. 53 The finding that school nurses have clearer boundaries about the nature of the SHC partnership compared with parents can be explained by differences in parents’ and nurses’ experiences, perspectives, and literacy regarding SHC partnerships.…”

Background: Cooperation between parents and school nurses is essential for the successful completion of school courses and a healthy school life for children with long-term conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and test a scale to measure parental perceptions of partnerships between school nurses and parents in the school health care (SHC) system for children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: The content validity, factorial structure validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, known-group validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability of the School Healthcare Partnership Scale for Parents (SHCPS-P) were evaluated. Data were analyzed by performing exploratory factor analysis (EFA), Pearson’s correlation, Cronbach’s α, and independent t-tests. The total sample included 155 parents for the EFA and 49 parents for the stability test. Seventeen items, grouped into 3 dimensions, were extracted through principal axis factoring. Results: The total variance explained by these factors was 53.57%. The scale demonstrated a high correlation with parental satisfaction regarding school nursing and a moderate correlation with diabetes-related safety, thereby showing convergent validity. A low correlation with empathy demonstrated discriminant validity. A significant difference existed in the partnership scores in known-group comparisons. Cronbach’s α was 0.95, and the test-retest correlation coefficient was 0.95, which showed reliability. Conclusions: This study suggests that the SHCPS-P is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the perception of SHC partnership among parents of children with T1D and can be used as an indicator to measure parents’ perspectives about SHC.
