The Fehring's Diagnostic Content Validity Model was used to measure the importance of diagnostic characteristics of hopelessness. Only three NANDA characteristics and five Nowotny Hope Scale characteristics have reached the value of weighted average of the scores for defining characteristics. NANDA characteristics are concerned with the affective-behavioral dimension of hopelessness. Nowotny Hope Scale characteristics that reached high importance in our study are concerned with its cognitive-temporal dimension.
