Abstract

Background: Palliative care is essential in nursing care, due to the increasing number of chronic and incurable patients. Nurses need to acquire special knowledge and abilities to provide quality palliative care. Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses is a questionnaire that evaluates their basic knowledge about palliative care. This study was conducted for cross-cultural adaptation in Persian language and psychometrics of Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses.
Materials and Methods: after translating and assessing the face and content validity of PCQN, 162 eligible nurse were selected by convenience sampling in Mashhad, 2022. In order to prepare the Persian version of the questionnaire, internal consistency,difficulty and discrimination indexes of each item were also calculated according to Item Response Theory (IRT). Data were analyzed by describe, Cronbach's alpha, KUder Richardson formula 20 .
Results: The cross‑cultural adaptation ultimately resulted in a total of 20 items from the PCQN‑I. CVR was 0.83 and CVI for each item was 0.87 and S-CVI / Ave was more than 90% in terms of correlation and resolution. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.97 and KR-20 test result of 0.72 reflected the reliability of PCQN-SV. The discrimination indexes of the 20 items, show us that five items are good or very good while eight items are bad to discriminate between good and bad respondents.
Conclusion: The Persian version of Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses (PCQN-PV) can be used as a valid and reliable scale for assessing Palliative care knowledge of nurses.
