Abstract: (54 Views)
Background: Nurse–patient communication plays a vital role in patients’ recovery, and assessing how nurses communicate with patients is of great importance. The purpose of this was assessed the psychometric properties of the health literacy nurse–patient communication questionnaire based on the health literacy strategies.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among 310 hospitalized patients in 2023. The questionnaire was developed based on existing literature. After that validity (face validity, content validity, and confirmatory factor analysis) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and McDonald's Omega coefficient) were assessed. To analysis data, Amos v.24, JASP (v.0.11.1), and SPSS v.24 were used.
Results: All participants were women. Scale-Content Validity Index/Average (S-CVI/Ave) for all items was 0.921, and the content validity ratio (CVR) was 0.910. In confirmatory factor analysis, only one item had the factor loading less than 0.4 and after deleted this item (Item 4: The nurse used pictures or visual aids to explain instructions) and based on the goodness-of-fit indices (for example: RMSEA= 0.074, AGFI: 0.933, PNFI=0.658, and TLI=0.972), the health literacy nurse–patient communication questionnaire was confirmed. Based on the reliability results, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.858 and McDonald's Omega coefficient was 0.893. Finally, the health literacy nurse–patient communication questionnaire with 8 items was approved.
Conclusion: The health literacy nurse–patient communication questionnaire with 8 items is valid and reliable tool and can be used to evaluate health literacy nurse–patient communication in hospitals and other healthcare settings.
