BACKGROUND: Having family members provide care to their loved ones in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a beneficial yet seldom implemented approach. For family members to perform caregiving, nurses must be willing to teach, and such willingness is a developing area of research.
OBJECTIVES: To adapt an instrument validated in family members, the Family Willingness for Caregiving Scale, to address nurses' willingness to teach family members caregiving skills.
METHODS: Purposive and snowball sampling were used to recruit 10 expert ICU nurses through the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses' research website and social media platforms. The researchers conducted cognitive interviews with the nurses to address the instrument's content validity.
RESULTS: The scale was refined based on the participants' feedback. Items were deleted, added, and revised. Furthermore, scale instructions were adjusted to emphasize the willingness to teach families of patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Qualitative themes emerged related to barriers to family engagement, including time constraints, patient acuity, and nurse and family characteristics.
CONCLUSIONS: Content validity of the scale was assessed, with future research aimed at pilot testing and evaluating construct validity before using the scale as a research instrument. Practical implications include using the scale as an evaluation tool to determine nurses' willingness to teach family members about caregiving. After evaluation, various strategies could be incorporated to enhance family engagement in adult ICUs.
