Perceived Purchase Risk in the Technological Goods Purchase Context: An Instrument Development and Validation

This study analyzed scientific production on the measurement of fatigue in children and adolescents with cancer, particularly the instruments used. Integrative review, searching in PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO, IBECS and COCHRANE, without any time restriction, using key words and descriptors in different combinations. The review sample comprised 21 references. The results composed two categories: instrument development and validation and fatigue measurement. American nurses developed most studies, between 2002 and 2011, using two scales. The studies assessed the children and adolescents' self-reports and the parents' reports. They also associated fatigue with sleep pattern, quality of life, depression, survival and dexamethasone use. The importance of research on this theme is evidenced, including studies that apply these instruments in practice. The gap in knowledge production on this theme is highlighted in the Brazilian context.

This study investigated the reliability and validity of the Index of Spouse Abuse (ISA) when used with a sample of 504 African-American women. The initial factor validity analysis for the ISA (Hudson & McIntosh, 1981) resulted in two subscales: a physical abuse scale (ISA-P) and a nonphysical abuse scale (ISA-NP). Factor analysis with this sample of African-American women revealed three factors instead of two. Coefficient alpha estimates of reliability were over .90 for the original ISA subscales and with the African-American sample. The discussion compares and contrasts the factor structure observed with the sample of African-American women with the factor structure reported in the original validation studies. The study demonstrates the need to critically evaluate the extent to which instruments developed to measure spouse or partner abuse are valid and reliable when used with diverse groups that may not have been represented in the samples used for initial instrument development and validation work.
