“…Next, face validity (qualitative), content validity (qualitative), construct validity (CFA), and reliability were assessed. In order to determine the instrument’s face validity, it was administered to ten patients and the items’ difficulty, ambiguity, and appropriateness were evaluated [ 26 ]. In order to establish the content validity, ten experts in the fields of palliative care and psychometrics of the instrument were asked to give their opinions about the relevance, necessity and representativeness of the items.…”

Introduction To improve cancer patients’ quality of life, palliative care is necessary. The growth of palliative care, along with the assistance of the government and the collaboration of specialists, also relies on the knowledge and attitude of people. In Iran, there is no tool available to gauge patient attitudes about palliative treatment. The Persian version of the Palliative Care Attitude Scale (PCAS-9) was translated and psychometrically validated in this research among cancer patients. Methods This methodological study was conducted in two stages: translation stage and psychometric validation stage. The method of translation was based on that proposed by Polit and Yang. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the scale’s face and content validity were investigated. 162 cancer patients who required palliative care based on expert diagnosis participated in the confirmatory factor analysis to establish construct validity. Stability and internal consistency provided evidence of reliability. The data was examined using SPSS18 and AMOS. Results The “Palliative Care Attitudes Scale” translated well across cultures. Validity on both the face and the content was acceptable. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed a good fit for the original three-factor structure. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was equal to 0.89, while the internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) reliability of the whole scale was equal to 0.77. Conclusions Persian version of the “Palliative Care Attitudes Scale” was acceptable and adequate in cancer patients. Using this tool makes it easier to assess how patients feel about receiving palliative care and how well training sessions are working to change patients’ views.

Background: Palliative care improves the quality of life of patients and their families; attitudes toward such cares are effective in accepting or rejecting them. It is necessary to assess the attitude of patients in this field. This study was aimed to translate and investigate psychometric properties of the Palliative Care Attitudes Scale (PCAS-9) in the Iranian community.Materials & Methods: This methodological research has been done in two parts of translation and psychometric evaluation. After translation and cultural adaptation, face validity (10 patients), content validity (10 experts), and construct validity were assessed using exploratory factor analysis (300 patients) and confirmatory factor analysis (210 patients). Then, internal consistency reliability and stability (30 patients) were measured for reliability. SPSS20 and LISREL were used for data analysis.Results: PCAS-9 includes 9 items whose Persian translation were approved. Face and content validities were acceptable. Results of exploratory factor analysis showed three factors: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. In confirmatory factor analysis, the values of fitness indices confirmed the appropriate fit of the model. The internal consistency reliability in the whole instrument was 0.929 and the intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.854.Conclusions: Findings showed that the Persian version of the PCAS-9 had acceptable psychometric properties. It can be used to evaluate patients' attitudes toward palliative care in the Iranian community.

Further information about the adaptation and validation process is published elsewhere (Algoso, Peters, Ramjan, & East, ). The survey comprises fifty skill items grouped into seven main domains of nursing practice that align with those outlined by the National Competency Standards for the Registered Nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, ).…”
