Translation, adaptation for nursing professionals, and preliminary psychometric evaluation of the original version of the attitudes towards medical communication scale

To our knowledge, the Attitudes Towards Medical Communication Scale - German version for nursing professionals is the first German measure assessing attitudes toward medical communication. Given the inadequate results regarding item characteristics and psychometric properties, further research is needed. This should include further exploration of the corresponding construct for the target group, as well as refinement of existing items or the addition of new ones.
