Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of Korean version of the attitude measurement tool for Family Presence during Resuscitation (K-FPDR). Methods: Data were collected from 299 nurses working at a tertiary hospital located in Seoul via structured-questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 21.0. To examine the validity and reliability of K-FPDR, content/construct validity using exploratory/ confirmatory factor analysis and reliability test and

The Korean version of K-FPDR was composed of three dimensions: benefits, negative effects, and decision-making on K-FPDR. K-FPDR was validated by confirmatory factor analysis (CFI=.82, GFI=.86, AGFI=.83, RMR=.07, and RMSEA= .07), and factor loading of the 24 items ranged from .40 to .82. In terms of criterion validity, the K-FPDR positively correlated with Family Presence Self-Confidence Scale. Also, the reliability of the scale was confirmed with Cronbach's ⍺=.85. Conclusion: The K-FPDR is a reliable and valid scale; therefore, this scale is expected to be useful in measuring the attitude toward family presence during resuscitation among Korean nurses.
