Development and psychometric testing of filial piety value scale among children whose parents were advanced cancer patients / 中国实用护理杂志

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.
