Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and test an instrument to measure parents' trust in nurses. The conceptual framework for the Parental Trust in Nurses Scale (P-TINS) included four dimensions of parental trust--generalized trust, trust in the imagined nurse, trust based on previous experience with nurses, and situation-specific trust, and a closely related construct--perception of risk. Content validity was enhanced by basing the 40 items of the Likert-type, sixth-grade level scale on parents interviews and qualitative studies and by ratings of parent and nurse content experts.
