Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure nurses’ clinical foresight for elderly patients with cognitive decline (hereinafter referred to as “scale”). Methods: First, the concept of nurses’ clinical foresight for elderly patients with cognitive decline was analyzed by using the hybrid model, which comprises three phases (theoretical, fieldwork, and final analytic). Second, based on the results of the above concept analysis, a conceptual framework was devised. A survey method was used to collect data from a total of 600 nurses at hospitals providing regional medical care in the provincial areas of Japan. To evaluate the scale’s internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha was calculated. To evaluate the factor structure, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. To evaluate the discriminant validity, the difference in the scores between nurses and Certified Nurses in Dementia Nursing (CNDNs) were calculated.
