“…TNS 38 validity and reliability test was done on the cancer patients; the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was reported as 0.81. The Turkish version of the TNS 39 had a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.95. The scale contains five questions and each covers a nurse activity or a patient’s feelings.…”

Investigation of the trust status of the nurse–patient relationship

In this study, the nurses' professional competencies and interpersonal caring attributes emerged as most important in developing trust. This study paid attention to the values and attitudes that develop patients' trust toward nurses. Moreover, the findings raise ethical questions about how the patients' basic rights are to be protected and how their trust level can be heightened. Nurse managers need to assess continuously how trust toward nurses is developed, protected, and maintained in their institutions.

“…Trust in nurses: The Trust in Nurses Scale was developed by Radwin and Cabral 32 and adapted to Turkish by Cinar Yucel and Ay. 33 It is a 6-point Likert-type scale with five items that are scored from "1 = never" to "6 = always." The Cronbach's α coefficients of the scale were 0.77 for the original version 32 and 0.95 for the Turkish version.…”

“…The Cronbach's α coefficients of the scale were 0.77 for the original version 32 and 0.95 for the Turkish version. 33 In this study, the psychometric analysis was repeated substituting "disease" for "cancer" in the last item "How often do your nurses provide accurate information about your cancer?" so that the scale could be used with patients in all the inpatient units.…”

Relationship between Structural Empowerment and Nurse and Patient-Reported Outcomes: The Mediating Role of Control over Nursing Practices

et al. 2023

Practices that strengthen nurse work environments and enable them to have control over nursing practices have gained importance in recent years as they increase nurses’ retention and patient care quality. This study aimed to examine the relationships between structural empowerment and nurse and patient-reported outcomes and the mediating role of control over nursing practices in these relationships. This correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out from September 2018 to May 2019 at two public hospitals in Turkey. We recruited staff nurses ( n = 319) working in the inpatient units of these hospitals and their patients ( n = 319). Data were collected using self-report measures from staff nurses and patients. It was determined that structural empowerment and control over nursing practices had a positive relationship with job satisfaction and nursing care quality, as well as a negative relationship with intention to turnover; however, there was no relationship with patient-reported outcomes. Control over nursing practices partially mediated the relationship between structural empowerment and outcomes of job satisfaction and nursing care quality. This study indicates that promoting the structural empowerment of nurses and ensuring that they have control over practice will increase job satisfaction and quality of care. Nurse managers can increase nurses’ job satisfaction and quality of care by creating supportive work environments and ensuring they have control over nursing practices.

“…Trust can be measured and monitored to help health workers to build a trusted health system with better health outcomes, and several tools are available to this purpose; among these tools, the Trust in Nurses Scale was developed from a qualitative study on patients’ experiences of nursing care (9) and the Trust in Nurses Scale was found to have construct validity and reliability (18, 19). The Trust in Nurses Scale offered reliable and valid data when studying the concept of patients’ trust in nurses, and it has been translated and psychometrically assessed in European (20), Asian (21) and Middle Eastern countries (22); however, there is not an Italian version.…”

Background The Trust in Nurses Scale (TNS) was developed and psychometrically assessed so that patients’ trust could be accurately and reliably measured. The TNS has been translated, assessed and administered to patients in Europe, Asia and North America. Aim This descriptive, cross‐sectional, correlational study aimed to assess the psychometric characteristics of the Italian version of the Trust in Nurses Scale. Methods An Italian version of the TNS was developed. We used a forward–backward translation methodology to establish semantic and conceptual equivalence within the Italian context. The scale was then administered to a convenience sample of 200 hospitalised patients in medical, surgical or oncology units. Internal consistency and construct validity were assessed performing Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Both a 4‐item and a 5‐item TNS were assessed. Results The 4‐item TNS demonstrated better construct validity than the 5‐item version. Similarly, the internal consistency reliability was better with 4 items than 5 (0.83 and 0.79, respectively). Conclusion The Italian version of the scale has acceptable reliability and validity and may be used to assess this aspect of the nurse–patient relationship. Being tested in different settings, it may be used with all patients admitted to hospital. Trust in nurses is critically important to patient outcomes; however, it is rarely measured quantitatively on a wide scale. The use of the Italian validated scale could be useful to increase evidences on this important topic, as it represents a core component of nursing care.
