“…However, previous studies have found evidence of the several independent dimensions that underlie the scale. Different factorial structures have been proposed, including two (Henoch et al, 2014), four (Leombruni et al, 2014), six (Mastroianni et al, 2015), seven (Wang et al, 2016), or eight (Nakai et al, 2006) dimensions.…”

“…After the content analysis of literature, a total of 18 probable impact factors 5–7,14,15,19,25–50 were discussed, and 130 knowledge items, 5,6,21,26,32,36,51 206 attitude items, 6–8,13,15,21,25,32‐35,39,44–46,48,50–53 and 37 practice items 21,26,47 were identified. Thus, the original draft of KAPHC Scale consisted of 18 demographic items, 22 knowledge items, 24 attitude items, and 22 practice items in Phase I, with the CVI of 0.930.…”

“…In later studies some items had been modified and extended to be applicable for doctors 6 . Regarding attitude scales, the Frommelt Attitudes toward Care of Dying (FATCOD) Scale for nurses and nursing students and FATCOD‐B for all medical staff and students, 7 and the Physician's End‐of‐Life Attitude Scale (PEAS) 8 were widely applied in different countries through language translations and localized improvements 9–13 . While on scaling hospice behavior, few mature or suitable scales was found.…”

Objective: To match the reform of hospice development in China, this study aimed to construct an indigenized health providers' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Hospice Care (KAPHC) Scale in China with good validity and reliability. Methods: We used three steps to develop the scale, establishing items-pool firstly based on literature review and expert consultation, followed by forming a draft-scale design through synthetically consideration, and finally modifying the draft by conducting a self-administrative survey in sampled institution and testing the reliability and validity by statistical analysis. Results: The KAPHC Scale was comprised of 15 knowledge items, 24 attitude items and 22 practice items. In the part of knowledge, the Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.686, the average difficulty was 0.62 and average discrimination was 0.46. The attitude items were divided into four domains (KMO ¼ 0.770), with Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.868. The practice items included confidence of practices and selfreported behaviors (KMO ¼ 0.732), with Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.958. Conclusion: The KAPHC Scale demonstrated good validity and reliability. As an effective tool, the scale may contribute to assessing health providers' KAP status of

“…Li-Ping Wang et al 24 developed and tested the Chinese version of the FATCOD in nurses and nursing students and found it to be reliable and valid. Mastroianni et al 25 established the validity and reliability of an Italian version of the FATCOD-B and concluded that it was a valid and reliable tool, measuring six specific dimensions: fear/malaise, the care of the family, communication, family as caring, relationship, and active care. Although commendable attempts to increase the feasibility of the FATCOD have been made, none of these have reduced the number of items and retained the psychometric properties of the original scale.…”

Development and Psychometric Evaluation of a New Short Version of the Swedish Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale

et al. 2020

Background The Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD) is widely used as a measure of attitudes toward care of dying patients. However, poor factor structure and item redundancy have been reported across the literature. Objective A short version of the questionnaire is needed, to facilitate effective assessments of the attitudes of those caring for dying patients. The purpose of this study was to develop a FATCOD–Short Form and to secure its psychometric properties. Interventions/Methods Data gathered from 1000 nurses in previous studies were pooled and reanalyzed. Principal components analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were utilized to assess the factor structure of the FATCOD-30. A Rasch model was used to evaluate the measurement functioning of the scale. Results Of the original 30 items, 9 items of FATCOD were chosen for retention in the short form based on the principal components analysis, floor or ceiling effects, interitem correlations, and item-total correlation. All 9 items had good internal reliability. Both confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis supported the unidimensionality of the FATCOD–Short Form. Conclusions The 9-item FATCOD–Short Form demonstrates evidence of acceptable validity and reliability to identify nurses’ attitudes toward caring for dying persons because of its brevity and comprehensive content. Implications for Practice When changing curricula in nursing education or implementing new procedures in nursing practice, it is important to have valid instruments to evaluate the results of the change. Such instruments should not be too lengthy or complicated. FATCOD–Short Form is a brief and valid instrument that can be easily used.
