Abstract
BackgroundMissed nursing care has been recognized as a universal patient care issue that affects outcomes for patients, nurses, and healthcare institutions. The MISSCARE Survey was developed to measure and determine the reasons for missed nursing care episodes. An extensive literature review and expert nurse opinion revealed five additional reasons for missing care that the authors utilized to revise the Survey. MethodsThe revised MISSCARE Survey was pilot tested with a group of 145 nursing staff from a public, non-profit, acute care hospital in the Midwestern U.S. ResultsAnalysis indicated favorable results for the revised Survey's acceptability, reliability, and construct validity. ConclusionBased on the initial pilot study results, the authors recommend further use and study of the revised MISSCARE Survey with other nursing populations and additional psychometric testing.
