Development and Pilot Use of a Questionnaire to Assess the Knowledge of Midwives and Pediatric Nurses on Maternal Use of Analgesics during Lactation
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This paper reports on the step-by-step development of an instrument and pilot testing of the instrument to assess the knowledge of midwives and pediatric nurses on maternal use of analgesics during lactation and the potential risks for the nursing infant.
The steps followed to develop the instrument were clearly stated and presented in a Figure. Based on reviewing the existing literature, focus group discussions with practising midwives and the pediatric nurses and experts input- the instrument was developed. Following instrument development and content validation- the questionnaire was pilot tested, which demonstrates that the authors followed the scientific approaches in constructing and validating an instrument.
The results of the pilot survey with midwives and pediatric nurses demonstrate high construct validity of the instrument, suggesting that the instrument might be used to assess knowledge on lactation-related exposure to analgesics. The pilot findings also suggest that the instrument has potential values in assessing the knowledge of the health care professionals and can be added in the health care professional training as well.
This well-written manuscript can be acce[ted for publication as it is.
