| Summary: | This study presents the development and testing of a tool, the Nursing Comfort Measures Scale, to measure comfort delivered by nurses to patients. The tool was shown to have excellent reliability in the form of internal consistency and test-retest reliability and was also found by a panel of experts to have content validity. The Nursing Comfort Measures Scale was then tested among a group of 50 critical care nurses. Overall, they were found to be delivering comfort often to their patients. Nurses were also found to be delivering fewer comfort measures within the spiritual, environmental, and physical domains. | |
