Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a homecare nursing assessment tool for terminal cancer patients, testing the validity and reliability of the tool.
Methods: This was a methodological study. The tool was developed in four stages: first, preliminary items were developed based on Gordon’ functional health pattern model; second, a panel of specialists reduced the number of preliminary items using validity tests for content; third, final items were selected from the results of a pre-test. Finally, from August 4th, 2011 to August 26th, 2011, reliability and validity were tested using a sample of 125 terminal cancer patients in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.
Results: The final tool consisted of 39 items, with Cronbach’s 0.70. Using factor analysis, 10 factors were extracted; the correlation coefficient of these was over 0.3.
b>Conclusion: The tool developed in this study was identified as having a high degree of reliability and validity. Given this, the tool can be effectively utilized for implementing and improving home care for patients with terminal cancer.
