Abstract
Objective
To carry out the validation of the Instrument for Measuring the Perception of the Family on Access to Information in the Neonatal Unit.
Methods
Methodological study, carried out with 85 representatives of newborn families hospitalized for more than 72 hours in the neonatal unit. Data were analyzed by psychometrics and inferential analysis.
Results
The validation of the instrument content by experts obtained agreement above 80%, Cronbach’s alpha of 0.86 and in the factor analysis it generated eight factors, whose total variability was 78.2%. The average score for the perception of access to information by the family was 3.37 – almost always.
Conclusion
The instrument obtained great internal consistency, factor loadings that allowed the maintenance of items in the instruments; and the family realizes that they almost always have access to information, which requires investment in changing the organizational culture to value and include the family.
