Background: Assessing the perceptions of parents of hospitalized children about the support provided by nurses can contribute to assessing the quality of pediatric nursing care.
Objective: To complete the cultural adaptation and validation of the Nurse-Parent Support Tool (NPST) for the Portuguese population by assessing its reliability and validity.
Methodology: Quantitative methodological study, with a sample of 291 parents of hospitalized children. The psychometric properties of the instrument were measured by assessing its reliability using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and its construct validity through exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation.
Results: The psychometric characteristics of the NPST show that it is appropriate to the Portuguese population of parents of hospitalized children (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.925), as well as a reliable and valid tool to measure the support provided by nurses to these parents.
Conclusion: The European Portuguese version of the NPST - Escala de Apoio dos Enfermeiros aos Pais (EAEP) - is a reliable and valid instrument with very good internal consistency to assess the support provided by nurses to parents during a child’s hospitalization.
