ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the filial piety value level and the influencing factors of filial piety among children whose parents were diagnosed as advanced cancer.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to recruit 383 participants in Tumor Hospital, Tianjin Medical University.Results:The total score of Filial Piety Value Scale among children whose parents were advanced cancer patients was (66.50±4.10) . The age of the patient, the number of hospitalization and the degree of awareness of the condition, the age of the children, whether the child was the-only-child, whether the child was living with the patient, and the average daily care time influenced the filial piety values of children whose parents were advanced cancer patients ( Z=16.64-62.94, U=2.04-4.27, P<0.05). Conclusion:Children whose parents were with advanced cancer have a better understanding of filial piety. Nurses understand the values of filial piety of children in the context of traditional filial piety and family care mode in China, which can enhance the experience of filial piety and filial piety of both children and parents, also improve the mental health problems of patients, and finally improve the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To develop an assessment instrument for evaluating Filial Piety Value Scale among Children Whose Parents were Advanced Cancer Patients and to test the reliability and validity of the tool.Methods:Through literature review, semi-structured interview and expert letter consultation, the first version of the Filial Piety Value Scale (FVS) was developed. A convenience sampling method was adopted to recruit 352 children of patients with advanced cancer as respondents. Item analysis, reliability and validity were adopted to evaluate the items, and finally the formal version of FVS was developed.Results:The Internal Consistency of FVS was 0.86, and the content validity index of each item was 0.93-1.00.Two factors were extracted from exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 60.25%. The two factors were named as Care (10 items) and Respect (5 items).The correlation coefficient between the total score of FVS and the total score of Filial Piety Values Index (FVI) was 0.496, and the correlation coefficient between the FVS total score and FVI Care and Respect score was 0.50 and 0.46, and the results were statistically significant ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The Filial Piety Value Scale of children whose parents were advanced cancer patients has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the filial piety value of children whose parents are advanced cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors (QLACS) in Chinese cancer Survivors.Methods:We translated the scale following the procedure of translation, integration and back translation. After modifying the scale and adapting it in Chinese culture, the reliability and validity of the QLACS scale was tested in a large sample of 222 cancer survivors.Results:The Chinese version of QLACS had 47 items with a total of twelve domains. Principal component analysis resulted in an 8-factor structure of the explaining 74.393% of the seven generic domains′ variance, and an 5-factor structure of the explaining 71.937% of the five cancer-specific domains′ variance. The item level content validity index (I-CVI) was 0.89-1.00, and the total content average content validity index (S-CVI/) was 0.93. The Cronbach′s α coefficient for the total QLACS score was 0.935, and 0.933 for generic domains, and 0.865 for cancer-specific domains.Conclusions:The Chinese version of QLACS appears to possess adequate validity, reliability and internal consistency. The newly translated Chinese version of QLACS may be used to assess the quality of cancer survivors in China.
