Development and validation of a Japanese version of The Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale-Parent Form (JQDTS-PF): A cross-sectional observational study

Advances in medical care have enabled home treatment and advanced medical care for children with chronic illnesses. Nurses are not only required to teach their caregivers skills but also understand the families' needs and identify their anxieties in discharge teaching. However, no measure is currently available in Japan to evaluate the quality of discharge teaching provided by nurses. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale Parent-Form (JQDTS-PF) developed by Weiss et al.
