Abstract

Introduction: The Nursing Professional Values Scale has been widely used to assess the professional values of practicing nurses, nursing students, and faculty members across different countries. This study seeks to validate the psychometric properties of the Vietnamese version of the Nursing Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R). Methods: A quantitative survey was conducted with the questionnaire of NPVS-R version which was converted from English to Vietnamese by three expert translators, followed by a back-translation by three bilingual experts, then three nursing scholars from different regions of Vietnam assessed the language and content validity. Data were collected from 669 nurses through the Vietnamese Nursing Association network and analyzed by using SPSS and AMOS software. The scale was evaluated based on validity of content and construct, and internal consistency. Results: The Vietnamese NPVS-R scale comprises 25 items across four subscales: Caring, Activism, Trust, Professional, and Justice. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed factor loadings between 0.595 and 0.929, with a chi-square value of 955.303. Fit indices (CFI = 0.935, CMIN/DF = 3.605, RMSEA = 0.062) were satisfactory. Cronbach’s alpha was good, ranging from 0.861 and 0.877, and item-to-total correlations spanned 0.501 to 0.775. There exist significant differences of nurses’ perception on the subscales based on their gender, age, and working experience. Conclusions: NPVS-R is a reliable instrument to measure the professional values of nurses in the distinct Vietnamese context and language. It can serve as a valuable tool for nursing care development and competency assessment across various care units in Vietnam and benefit international comparisons.

Abstract

Objectives Adults older are increasing in Taiwan. The receipt of information and expectations related to informational messages provided to hospitalized elders have not been studied. The study aim is to explore the status of receipt of information and expectations among hospitalized elders and their care providers in Taiwan. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional and mixed-methods study design was used in in a geriatric ward in a medical center. The participants were 60 patients of 65 years and their care providers were obtained by convenience sampling. The data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and checklists. Physician messages and the data for each participant were collected in one regular ward round. Results Twenty-eight patients (46.7%) could not repeat the messages. The message repetition rate was 21.9% the first hour and was 62.9% after hinting. The total message repetition rate of the main care providers was 36.0% and was 80.3% after hinting. "Desire to know the reasons for discomfort” and "discharge date” were the messages most expected by the patients. "None,” "conditions associated with the progress of the illness,” "discharge date” and "relevant information of examination results” were the messages most expected by their care providers. Conclusions The majority of the hospitalized elderly and their care providers could not repeat medical messages conveyed by the physicians. The informed messages should be sorting, and the reminder should be repeated within a short time.  Keywords: receipt of information, expectation, hospitalized elders, care providers, Taiwan.
