Abstract

Objective (s): Pressure ulcers are a significant health problem worldwide. Positive Attitudes towards Pressure ulcer Prevention have a positive impact on preventive care. This study aimed to determine the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Attitude towards Pressure ulcer Prevention instrument (APuP) in Iranian nurses. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on a sample of nurses working in ICUs and the internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, cardiovascular, neurology, and neurosurgery departments in four teaching hospitals in Ardabil, Iran. construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis), internal consistency, and test-retest analyses were performed to determine the psychometric properties of the APuP. Results: In all 190 nurses partipated in the study. With regard to fitness indices including GFI, AGFI, CFI, RMSEA factor structure of the APuP with five factor and 13 items were confirmed. The Cronbach’ s alpha for the overall APuP was 0. 70, and correlation coefficient between test-retest was 0. 85 (ICC=0. 85, p<0. 0001). Conclusion: The findings showed that the Persian version of Attitude towards Pressure ulcer Prevention instrument could be used as a standard tool to assess nurses' Attitudes about Pressure ulcer Prevention.
