摘要

Purpose Develop a Children's Trust in General Nurses Scale (CTGNS). Design and Methods In a cross-sectional investigation, 128 U.K. children (68 females and 60 males; mean age = 10 years and 4 months) completed the CTGNS and reported their trust in, and fear of, nurses. A total of 46 parents reported those dispositions and the frequency of their children visiting medical centres. Results The CTGNS showed acceptable internal consistency and factor structure. It was correlated with reported children's trust in nurses and visiting medical centres. Practice Implications The CTGNS will permit the investigation of children's trust in nurses and interventions to promote it.
