Description

Fateme Mohammadi, Seyedeh Zahra Masoumi, Salman Khazaei, and Seyyed Mohammad Mahdi Hosseiny validate a Persian scale for judging how well care teams make ethical decisions at the end of a young life. Their study, published in 2023, translates the end-of-life care decision-making scale by the forward-backward method and tests it on 310 professionals across seven Iranian cities.

Factor analysis found item loadings from 0.68 to 0.89, with three factors explaining 81.6 percent of variance. The confirmatory model fit the planned structure well. Internal consistency reached a Cronbach alpha of 0.93, comfortably high. The authors conclude the Persian version is valid and reliable for staff who care for adolescents in the final stage of life. Nursing managers, they suggest, can use it to audit and teach ethical decision-making.
