Abstract:

Objective To develop an Empathy Ability Scale for Hospice Nurses，and to test its reliability and validity. Methods Based on the empathy ability conceptual structure of hospice nurses，the initial scale was formed and adjusted through literature analysis，expert consultation，and cognitive interview. The convenience sampling was adopted to select 660 hospice nurses from August to November 2021，and the data was used to test the reliability and validity of the scale. Results A total of 600 valid paper questionnaires were returned with a response rate of 90.91%. The scale consisted of 3 dimensions with a total of 33 items and a cumulative variance contribution of 72.317%. The 3 dimensions were named as “cognitive empathy”，“emotional empathy” and “behavioral empathy”. The content validity index of each item was 0.900~1.000，and the content validity index of the average scale level was 0.987；the criterion-related validity was 0.427；the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.979，and the 2-week retest reliability was 0.954. Conclusion Empathy Ability Scale for Hospice Nurses had good reliability and validity，and it can be used as a valid tool to assess empathy ability in hospice nurses.

摘要：

目的 编制安宁疗护护士共情能力量表并检验其信效度。 方法 以安宁疗护护士共情能力概念框架为指导，结合相关文献，在专家咨询、认知性访谈的基础上编制安宁疗护护士共情能力量表。2021年8月—11月，采用便利抽样法，在国内选取660名安宁疗护护士进行调查，检验量表的信效度。 结果 回收有效问卷600份，有效问卷回收率为90.91%。安宁疗护护士共情能力量表包括认知共情、情感共情、行为共情3个维度，共33个条目，累计方差贡献率为72.317%。量表条目水平的内容效度指数为0.900~1.000，平均量表水平的内容效度指数为0.987；校标关联效度为0.427；量表总的Cronbach’s α系数为0.979，重测信度为0.954。 结论 安宁疗护护士共情能力量表具有良好的信效度，可作为评估安宁疗护护士共情能力的有效工具。
