Abstract
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of Chinese version of Postoperative Pain Assessment Nursing Practice Questionnaire(PPA-NPQ). Methods A forward-backward translation procedure was followed to develop the Chinese version of PPA-NPQ. A total of 258 surgical nurses were investigated by the revised Chinese version dimensions of PPA-NPQ, then the results were tested on reliability and validity by SPSS17.0. Results The cronbach's α of the Chinese version of PPA-NPQ was 0.889. The split- half coefficient and test-retest reliability of PPA-NPQ were 0.729, 0.875 respectively; the Cronbach's α, split- half coefficient and test-retest reliability of each sub-scale were ranged from 0.820-0.857, 0.797-0.862, 0.846-0.902 respectively. The correlation between each sub-scale and total scale were ranged from 0.704-0.818(P<0.01) . Conclusion The revised Chinese PPA-NPQ is reliable and valid, and can be used to test the level of postoperative pain assessment practice by surgical nurse.
