“…The minimum factor loading in this study was considered 0.3. In case that factor loading is less than 0.3, the correlation between the factor and the item is weak ( Hair, 2009 ; Rashidi Fakari et al, 2020 ). For factor extraction and interpretation, the principal components analysis (PCA) and the PROMAX rotation methods were used, respectively ( Samitsch, 2014 ).…”

BackgroundMeasuring family caregivers’ quality of life plays a significant role in improving the quality, efficiency, development, and provision of efficient services for patients with COVID-19. As a result, evaluating the quality of life requires the use of valid and reliable measures that are culturally appropriate. This study was conducted to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Quality of Life in Life-Threatening Illness–Family Carer Version (QOLLTI – F) in patients with COVID-19.MethodsThis methodological study was carried out in 2021 at Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran. After gaining approval from the tool creator, the translation was carried out utilizing the forward-backward approach. Cognitive interviews with 10 family caregivers of COVID-19 patients were used to demonstrate face validity. Moreover, construct validity was identified by performing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) (n = 251), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (n = 200), and convergent validation using Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) questionnaire. For scale reliability, internal consistency and stability were performed using Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient and test-retest, respectively.Results451 family caregivers of patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in this study. Three factors with a cumulative variance of 51.85% were extracted during EFA: (1) Caregiver’s physical-emotional status, (2) Satisfaction with the situation, and (3) Caregiver’s concerns. CFA showed that the model enjoyed a moderate to a good fit of information (RMSEA: 0.087; NFI: 0.98; CFI: 0.91; IFI: 0.91; GFI 0.89; standardized RMR: 0.070). A significant correlation was found between the Persian version of the ZBI and participants’ total scores of QOLLTI – F v3 (r = –0.196, P = 0.000). Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient = 0.719 and ICC stability reliability = 0.71 of the questionnaire were confirmed.ConclusionThe Persian version of the QOLLTI – F v3 is a valid and reliable scale that can measure family caregivers’ quality of life during a Life-Threatening illness in patients with COVID-19. This instrument may be utilized in clinical trials and research to enhance the quality of life for family carers in Iranian society.

Nurses may experience burnout more than other professions. Occupational burnout is a serious concern considering the importance of nurses' jobs in patient care. This study was carried out with the aim of designing and validating the questionnaire of burnout factors in the operating room nurses. Mixed method study was done in two qualitative and quantitative phases in 2022 on Iranian operating room nurses. In the first stage, the concept of operating room nurses' burnout was explained using interviews and literature review, and items were generated. In the second stage, the face validity, content and construct validity of the questionnaire was examined with 342 operating room nurses, and also the reliability of the questionnaire was tested using internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and stability (test–retest). After conducting the interview and literature review, 65 questions were extracted. Based on face validity, 4 items were modified. After content validity, 40 items remained. In construct validity, after exploratory factor analysis, 34 items with 5 dimensions were extracted. These dimensions included Organizational, Individual, Interpersonal, Occupational Nature and Managerial factors. Cronbach's alpha and intra-class correlation coefficient were equal to 0.937 and 0.946, respectively. The designed tool based on understanding the concept of burnout in operating room nurses has appropriate and acceptable validity and reliability. Therefore, it can be used to measure burnout in operating room nurses.

“…The minimum factor load in this study was considered 0.3. In case of factor load lower than 0.3, the relationship between the factor and item is weak (34,35). For extraction of factors, based on indices of skewness (± 3) and kurtosis (± 7), the maximum likelihood (ML) method, and for interpretability of the factors, varimax rotation was used (36).…”

Introduction: Achieving good death and enhancement of end-of-life care are among the objectives of palliative care in patients with cancer. There should be an instrument for evaluating the quality of palliative care provided by family members to provide comprehensive care at the end of life. This study was done for translation and assessment the psychometric properties of good death inventory- short form according to the perspective of family of patients with cancer in Tehran. Method: This methodological study was done in 2022 at two hospitals in Tehran. The translation was done after receiving permission from the instrument’s developer via forward-backward method. Face validity was examined through cognitive interviewing with 10 family members of patients with cancer. To perform the quantitative and qualitative content validation, the opinions of 10 palliative care specialists were used. The construct validity was explored through exploratory factor analysis and examination of convergent validation with care evaluation scale 2.0 (CES), as well as inspection of correlation by answering two general questions of satisfaction with treatment and end-stage quality of life. The scale’s reliability, internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and stability via test-retest. Results:Overall, 204 family members of patients with cancer were included. In the exploratory factor analysis, three factors of peace, hope, and value as well as quality of care were extracted with cumulative variance of 41.8%. We found a significant and suitable correlation between the total scores of the participants Good death inventory-short form and care evaluation scale2.0 (r = 0.459, P < 0.001). Also, there was a positive and significant correlation between the GDI short form total score and general satisfaction with end-of-life care (r=0.423, p<0.001) as well as the patient’s general quality of life at terminal stages (r=0.539, p<0.001). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the questionnaire was found 0.842, and the stability was confirmed with ICC=0.851. Conclusion: the Persian version of GDI-short form is a valid and reliable questionnaire which can investigate the factors associated with good death according to patients’ family members’ perspective. Thus, this instrument can be used in clinical evaluation as well as research purposes and for family members in Iranian population.
