“…By the IFCE-AE, nurses' attitudes are categorized into three independent dimensions: Family: dialoguing partner and coping resource, composed by 12 items (4,6,9,12,14,15,16,17,18,19, 24 and 25) whose score ranges from 12 to 48; Family: nursing care resource, with 10 items (1,3,5,7,10,11,13,20, 21 and 22) and variation from 10 to 40; Family: burden, consisting of four items (2, 8, 23 and 26) and a variation from 4 to 16. It should be pointed out that this last dimension shows inverted items, and the higher the score, the greater is the attitude of disagreement regarding the importance of the family in the care process.…”
