Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | WILEY | Source: | INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, 30 (4) , p. 988 -1000 | Abstract: | Mental health nurses are struggling to describe their nursing identity as professional discipline in a changing mental health care. Measuring nurse-sensitive patient outcomes and demonstrating nursing's effect(s) experienced by patients contribute to (re)discover the specific nursing identity. However, a valid and reliable scale is currently lacking. The aim of this study was the development and psychometric evaluation of the Mental Health Nurse-Sensitive Patient Outcome Scale (MH-NURSE-POS) for inpatient psychiatric hospital settings. This three-staged study resulted in a scale capturing how inpatients experience the contribution of nurses in their treatment in psychiatric hospitals. First, a draft questionnaire was developed based on a literature review, an independent expert's advice, and an experts panel. Second, the content validity was tested in a two-round Delphi-procedure and focus groups with patients. A pilot test, based on cognitive interviews, confirmed the feasibility of the questionnaire. Third, the psychometric properties of the mental health nurse-sensitive patient outcomes were determined in a sample of 353 patients. The cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of five psychiatric hospitals (Belgium). The factor structure (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy 0.924; Bartlett's test of sphericity chi(2) = 4162.537; df = 231; P < 0.001), convergent validity by the Individualized Care Scale (Pearson correlation 0.660; P < 0.001), and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.854) were evaluated. The factor analysis resulted in a four-factor solution representing growth, expression, control, and motivation. The Mental Health Nurse-Sensitive Patient Outcome Scale is a valid and reliable tool to measure the effectiveness of mental health nurses from the patient perspective. | Keywords: | professional‐patient relations;patient reported outcome measures;professional;psychiatric nursing;psychometrics;questionnaires;surveys | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/35443 | ISSN: | 1445-8330 | e-ISSN: | 1447-0349 | DOI: | 10.1111/inm.12853 | ISI #: | 000626532300001 | Rights: | 2021 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd. | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2022 |
