| Description |
This study was designed to establish the external validity of the Parent Participation Attitude Scale (PPAS). The PPAS and a personal data sheet was administered to 35 members of the nursing personnel at the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. A modified Q sort of subjects was done independently by the director of nursing services and the patient care coordinator. The scores of the PPAS, modified Q sort and the information on the personal data sheet were statistically analyzed by means of Pearson's product-moment correlations and one way analyses of variance between and within the groups of nursing personnel. The validity coefficients obtained between the PPAS scores and the independent raters were - .52 and .5 suggesting that the PPAS is valid measure of attitudes of nursing personnel concerning parent participation in the care of their children. This tool (PPAS) can now be used with full confidence in the research of many problems |
