Development and validation of the healthcare provider and family bidirectional digital communication scale
The HF-BDCS is the first validated bidirectional instrument for assessing digital communication in ICUs, demonstrating strong psychometric properties. By capturing both healthcare provider and family perspectives, the scale enables identification of perception discrepancies and supports improvements in digital communication practices, ultimately enhancing patient- and family-centered care in contemporary ICUs.
