ABSTRACT
We conducted a questionnaire survey of nurses to develop a scale for the Japanese version of the Quality of Dying and Death in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU-QODD) instrument for use by nurses. The questionnaire was based on “patient’s experience at the end of life” in ICU-QODD for health professionals in the United States. We assessed whether it could be used as a comprehensive evaluation tool. Respondents included 1,372 nurses for factor validity and internal consistency, and 39 nurses for test-retest reliability. Two factors, “physical symptoms” and “dignity” that comprised 6 items were identified. Cronbach’s alpha values were 0.89 and 0.75, respectively. Intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.62 and 0.72, respectively. Sufficient reliability and validity were confirmed. It was suggested that 6 out of 15 items could be used as for comprehensive evaluation of the ICU-QODD.
