Description
Ting Luo and five colleagues build a questionnaire measuring dialysis patients' beliefs about blood pressure crashes, in a study published in two thousand twenty-six. Blood pressure often plunges during dialysis sessions, a problem called intradialytic hypotension. What patients believe about it shapes how they manage fluids and symptoms.
The scale was developed through literature review, patient interviews, expert Delphi rounds, and pretesting. Four hundred fifty-one patients from four Chinese hospitals answered it. Half the sample shaped the item structure; the other half confirmed it. Reliability and several kinds of validity were checked. A trustworthy belief measure lets nurses target education where misconceptions cluster. The paper reports this preliminary psychometric evaluation.
