Methodological study validates the Child Care Quality at Hospital instrument for evaluating care quality in children, suggesting its usefulness in Turkish hospitals.
Aims This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Child Care Quality at Hospital (CCQH) instrument in the Turkish population. Design This was a methodological study to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. Methods To measure the validity of the CCQH instrument, language and content validity and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, item‐total score correlations and Hotelling T 2 test were used to examine reliability. Results The analyses demonstrate that the Turkish form of the CCQH instrument is valid and reliable. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item‐total score correlations indicated strong internal reliability. The content validity index showed that the Turkish version of the scale had content and face validity. All fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis met the expected criteria, demonstrating an acceptable model fit. Conclusion CCQH is an instrument that evaluates the quality of care from the child's perspective in school‐aged children during hospitalization.
