Abstract

In this study it was developed an Instrument for Measuring the Attitudes of Nursing Professionals toward Patients with Burns. 194 items, divided into subscales, expressing favorable and unfavorable attitudes toward patients with burns, were analyzed, concerning their apparent and context validity. Following this psychometric analysis 170 items were selected to compose the definitive scale. The confiability coefficient estimated by the split-half method for the different subscales ranged from 0.61 to 0.82. The confiability coefficient of the total scale was equal to 0.92.
