Abstract
Background: The communication process is inherent to the care process, and it is important to understand how the client, who is the target of nursing care, perceives the quality of information conveyed to her by her nurses. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyse the empirical structure of the scale of quality of information through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Participants: This was applied to a non-probability convenience sample consisting of 584 women aged between 20 and 49 years with a mean age of 31.77 years (± 5.88), most of whom lived with a partner (93.5%). Method: Methodological study, in which a semantic differential scale was tested through face and content validity and the psychometric properties were assessed, through internal consistency by Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient ( ) and construct validity in its dimensions exploratory and confirmatory factor validity, convergent validity and discriminant validity. Results: The results of the exploratory factor analysisled to the obtainment ofa one-factorstructure with 7 items which explained in total 79.84% of the variance and with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.957. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis show a one-factor structure with six items and reliable overall adequacy indices, confirming the quality of the model fit to the empirical data. (x2/gl= 2.885; GFI= 0.985; CFI= 0.995; RMR= 0.029; RMSEA=0.057). Conclusion: The results show that the quality of information scale can be used as a research and monitoring tool to assess the quality of information between nurses and the clients for whom they provide care.
