Evidence Of Content Validity Research Articles

Evidence of content validity of the nursing diagnosis risk for unstable blood pressure.

To analyze evidence of content validity of the nursing diagnosis (ND) Risk for Unstable Blood Pressure in incarcerated women. METHOD: A methodological study assessing the content validity of an ND, was performed in Brazil, between June and September 2022, with 49 nurses as experts. The label, definition, and relevance of the 19 risk factors of the ND Risk for Unstable Blood Pressure were appraised. Based on the predictive diversity model, the content validity index (CVI) and respective 95% confidence intervals were calculated for each risk factor. A CVI ≥ 0.8 was considered adequate evidence of content validity. The label and the definition of the diagnosis was reformulated. The relevance of 19 etiological factors showed a CVI ≥ 0.8. According to the recommendation of the panel of experts, one of the etiological factors was split in two and two label of etiological factors were changed. A new label (Risk for Imbalanced Blood Pressure), new definition, and 20 etiological factors (11 risk factors, five associated conditions, and four at-risk populations) of the ND Risk for Unstable Blood Pressure in incarcerated women were considered valid. NANDA-I accepted the proposal for this nursing diagnosis; hence this study contributed to updating the classification based on scientific evidence. This evidence will favor diagnostic reasoning and recognition of the diagnosis during clinical assessment, and support studies assessing the clinical validity of these elements in incarcerated women.

Measuring and understanding "quality of life" among emerging adults in a substance use program.

This work focuses on understanding quality of life and evaluating a brief quality of life measure in an outpatient emerging adult (17-25 years of age) substance use program. Mixed methods were used including: (a) psychometric evaluation of the adapted MyLifeTracker (MLT) based on assessments completed four times throughout treatment (n = 100) and (b) qualitative interviews with 12 emerging adults in the program. The study was codesigned, cofacilitated, and cointerpreted with emerging adults with lived experience. At intake, emerging adults reported quality of life scores of 3.7/10 on average and significantly improved (change M = 2.1 points, d = 0.86, p < .001) at the ∼12-week follow-up demonstrating program effects and sensitivity to change. Factor analysis suggested unidimensionality of the measure and internal consistency was high (ω = 0.81). MLT scores correlated in expected directions with other measures of quality of life, functioning, and mental health symptoms and demonstrated incremental validity in explaining variability in these measures over and above World Health Organization quality of life items. Emerging adults thought the five items (i.e., general well-being, day-to-day activities, relationships with friends, relationships with family, coping) generally captured the most important aspects of quality of life to them and had positive impressions regarding the use of this measure for measurement-based care. Other important aspects of quality of life included feeling a sense of meaning, purpose, motivation, and independence. Overall, the MLT demonstrated evidence of psychometric and content validity among emerging adults in substance use treatment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Collating evidence to support the validation of a simulated laparotomy incision and closure-training model

BackgroundIt is essential to evaluate the functionality of surgical simulation models, in order to determine whether they perform as intended. In this study, we assessed the use of a simulated laparotomy incision and closure-training model by collating validity evidence to determine its utility as well as pre and post-test interval data. MethodThis was a quantitative study design, informed by Messick's unified validity framework. In total, 93 participants (surgical trainees ​= ​80, experts ​= ​13) participated in this study. Evaluation of content validity and the models' relationships with other variables was conducted, along with a pre and post-test confidence assessment. ResultsThe model was deemed realistic and useful as a teaching tool, providing strong content validity evidence. In assessment of relationships with other variables, the expert group out-performed the novice group conclusively. Pre and post-test evaluation reported a statistically significant increase in confidence levels. ConclusionWe present strong validity evidence of a novel laparotomy incision and closure simulation-training model.

Fear and Distress: How Can We Measure the Impact of Technology-Facilitated Abuse in Relationships?

Technology-facilitated abuse in relationships (TAR) is a relatively new form of intimate partner violence. Research exploring the impact of TAR on young people is limited, and while robust measures of TAR itself are emerging, measures of TAR impact lack evidence of validity. A mixed-methods approach was used to establish preliminary face and content validity for the measurement of TAR impact. Youth discussion groups (n = 38) revealed that (1) distress is favored over upset as a preferred measure of TAR impact, and (2) fear is an appropriate impact measure for some TAR behaviors. In an online survey, frontline practitioners (n = 171) perceived and subsequently rated a total of 54 TAR behaviors in the upper half of the severity range on fear and distress, with 6 behaviors ranking among each of the top 10 most fear- and distress-inducing behaviors. These findings provide evidence of both face and content validity for the use of fear and distress measures when seeking to understand the impact of TAR. Scholars, practitioners, and educators alike can use this evidence to enhance the validity of investigations into TAR and its impact, to support victims of TAR, and to improve TAR education among youth.

Qualitative Research to Understand the Patient Experience and Evaluate Content Validity of the Chronic Ocular Pain Questionnaire (COP-Q).

Chronic ocular surface pain (COSP) is described as a persistent, moderate-to-severe pain at the ocular surface lasting more than 3 months. Symptoms of COSP have a significant impact on patients' vision-dependent activities of daily living (ADL) and distal health-related quality of life (HRQoL). To adequately capture patient perspectives in clinical trials, patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures must demonstrate sufficient evidence of content validity in the target population. This study aimed to explore the patient experience of living with COSP and evaluate content validity of the newly developed Chronic Ocular Pain Questionnaire (COP-Q) for use in COSP clinical trials. Qualitative, combined concept elicitation (CE) and cognitive debriefing (CD) interviews were conducted with 24 patients experiencing COSP symptoms in the USA. Interviews were supplemented with real-time data collection via a daily diary app task in a subset of patients (n = 15) to explore the day-to-day patient experience. Three healthcare professionals (HCPs) from the USA, Canada, and France were also interviewed to provide a clinical perspective. CE results were used to further inform development of a conceptual model and to refine PRO items/response options. CD interviews assessed relevance and understanding of the COP-Q. Interviews were conducted across multiple rounds to allow item modifications and subsequent testing. Eye pain, eye itch, burning sensation, eye dryness, eye irritation, foreign body sensation, eye fatigue, and eye grittiness were the most frequently reported symptoms impacting vision-dependent ADL (e.g., reading, using digital devices, driving) and wider HRQoL (e.g., emotional wellbeing, social functioning, work). COP-Q instructions, items, and response scales were understood, and concepts were considered relevant. Feedback supported modifications to instruction/item wording and confirmed the most appropriate recall periods. Findings support content validity of the COP-Q for use in COSP populations. Ongoing research to evaluate psychometric validity of the COP-Q will support future use of the instrument in clinical trial efficacy endpoints.

QUALIDADE DO CUIDADO DE ENFERMAGEM NA PERSPECTIVA DA CRIANÇA: ADAPTAÇÃO TRANSCULTURAL DO CHILDREN CARE QUALITY AT HOSPITAL PARA O BRASIL

ABSTRACT Objective: to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Children Care Quality at Hospital instrument to the Portuguese language spoken in Brazil. Method: this is a methodological study on the adaptation of an instrument designed to assess the quality of nursing care from the perspective of school-aged children. For content validity evidence, 13 experts participated, and in the pre-test phase, the instrument was applied to a sample of 40 hospitalized children. The analysis was done using the Content Validity Coefficient and the second-order agreement coefficient to verify inter-rater agreement; while in the pre-test, reliability was calculated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient and Cronbach's alpha. Results: the total content validity evidence coefficient regarding the assessment of equivalences and content ranged from 0.876 to 0.993, and the second-order agreement coefficient ranged from 0.935 to 0.951, demonstrating an almost perfect agreement. In the pre-test with children, both the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient of 0.60 and Cronbach's alpha of 0.690 were considered satisfactory. In the adapted version, some terms were improved, and others were kept with the addition of explanatory notes. Conclusion: the Brazilian version of the Children Care Quality at Hospital showed adequate content validity evidence to measure children's satisfaction with the quality of nursing care. In the clinical context of pediatric nursing, the instrument strengthens care paradigms that take into account the child's dignity, respecting their right to be heard and to evaluate the care received.

Speaking in Public Coping Scale (ECOFAP): content and response process validity evidence.

To present the content and response process validity evidence of the Speaking in Public Coping of Scale (ECOFAP). A methodological study to develop and validate the instrument. It followed the instrument development method with theoretical, empirical, and analytical procedures, based on the validity criteria of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (SEPT). The process of obtaining content validity evidence had two stages: 1) conceptual definition of the construct, based on theoretical precepts of speaking in public and the Motivational Theory of Coping (MTC); 2) developing items and response keys, structuring the instrument, assessment by a committee with 10 specialists, restructuring scale items, and developing the ECOFAP pilot version. Item representativity was analyzed through the item content validity index. The response process was conducted in a single stage with a convenience sample of 30 people with and without difficulties speaking in public, from the campus of a Brazilian university, belonging to various social and professional strata. In this process, the respondents' verbal and nonverbal reactions were qualitatively analyzed. The initial version of ECOFAP, consisting of 46 items, was evaluated by judges and later reformulated, resulting in a second version with 60 items. This second version was again submitted for expert analysis, and the content validity index per item was calculated. 18 items were excluded, resulting in a third version of 42 items. The validity evidence based on the response processes of the 42-item version was applied to a sample of 30 individuals, resulting in the rewriting of one item and the inclusion of six more items, resulting in the pilot version of ECOFAP with 48 items. ECOFAP pilot version has items with well-structured semantics and syntactic, representing strategies to cope with speaking in public.

Content validity of the Profiles of Early Expressive Phonological Skills-Brazilian Portuguese (PEEPS-BP) - Expanded List.

To carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the Instrument Profiles of Early Expressive Phonological Skills- Brazilian Portuguese (PEEPS-BP) - Expanded list, performing content validation. Cross-cultural, quantitative and cross- sectional adaptation study, considering psychometric criteria. A study was carried out on the list of 423 words from the Communicative Development Inventory - MacArthur - Words and Sentences, adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. The method was divided into four steps. The list was judged by expert judges (JE) and non-specialist judges (JNE), considering as a criterion the familiarity of the word for a child aged between 24 and 36 months, and the representativeness of the word with toy/object, contemplating Steps 1 and 2. The child judges analyzed, in a data collection situation, the familiarity and representativeness of the stimulus-words, presented in Step 3. Afterwards, the pilot study - Step 4, was carried out with the selected stimulus-words. In the statistical analysis by expert and non-specialist judges, the Fleiss' Kappa and Gwet Concordance index was used. In the analysis of the responses of the child judges and in the Pilot Study, the analysis was made in relation to the type of response of the child, specifically scoring the spontaneous naming of the toy/object, scoring qualitatively. The result of Steps 1 and 2, and the agreement of the statistical tests for the Familiarity and Representativeness criteria was 45.7% for JE and 76.4% for JNE, and a result of 100% for the agreement of Representativeness. A total of 122 words were analyzed, resulting from previously established criteria, totaling 34 words (exclusion of one word by the researchers), totaling 33 stimulus-words. In Stage 3, of the 33 stimulus-words applied, nine presented spontaneous naming scores below expectations, being retested for Step 4, the Pilot Study. The result of the Pilot Study showed that of the nine retested stimulus-words, four of them still had a score below, being excluded from the study. Therefore, with the application of the Pilot Study, the expanded list of PEEPS-BP resulted in 29 words. The PEEPS-BP - Expanded List showed satisfactory evidence of content validity for the cross-cultural adaptation of the test.

Measurement of compassion fatigue in animal health care professionals: a systematic review of available instruments and their content validity.

Compassion fatigue (CF) refers to emotional or physical exhaustion and emotional reactions resulting from prolonged exposure to traumatic events, commonly experienced by professionals in caregiving roles. CF is prevalent among healthcare professionals, including those in animal care. Several Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) were developed to measure CF, but their psychometric validity was not reviewed systematically. This study aims to identify and review the content validity of CF PROMs used in animal health care professionals. Literature was searched in PubMed, PsycINFO, and EMBASE (1973-2023). We included studies conducted in animal health care professionals, using a PROM to measure CF, reporting at least one psychometric property of this PROM, and published as original research. For each identified PROM, additional literature search was conducted to identify PROM development and content validation studies. Three independent reviewers evaluated the content validity of each PROM using COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) methodology and summarized the quality of evidence using a modified GRADE approach. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023433982) and results reported following PRISMA guidelines. Initially, 1709 studies were identified. After a double screening, 17 eligible studies were included. CF was measured using six different PROMs or their modified versions. Only one PROM specifically targeted animal health care professionals: the ProQOL-5 Veterinary Medicine Version. This and three other original CF PROMs were reviewed. For all PROMs, the quality of content validity was rated as insufficient due to deficiencies in the concept and items elicitation, inadequate target population representation, and inadequate details on cognitive interview procedures. The overall evidence quality was rated as low due to a limited number of PROM validation studies, poor methodological and reporting quality, and indirect result. There is a scarcity of studies examining CF within the target population, and the quality of evidence for content validity of the reviewed PROMs for CF measurement is currently low. CF definition and construct description in PROM development studies suffer from vagueness and seem inadequately reflected by the content of the reviewed PROMs. Further research with a robust methodology seems necessary to address the identified flows.

Content analysis of NOC outcomes related to mechanical ventilation in people with COVID-19.

To analyze the evidence of content validity of the Nursing Outcomes "Mechanical Ventilation Response: Adult" and "Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Response: Adult", for patients with severe COVID-19. Methodological study developed in two stages: literature review to construct the definitions of the indicators and analysis of the evidence of content validity of the nursing outcomes by a focus group. All the conceptual and operational definitions developed for the 56 indicators were considered clear and precise. However, 17 indicators were excluded because they were deemed not to be relevant. The definitions of the magnitudes for 17 indicators of the Nursing Outcome "Mechanical Ventilation Response: Adult" and 22 indicators "Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Response: Adult" were thus constructed. The development of definitions and validation by experts makes the use of these outcomes and their indicators more understandable and precise, favoring their use in clinical practice and providing greater detail in assessment and recording.

Validation of an instrument for patient classification to support obstetric nursing care.

to develop and validate an instrument for the classification of pregnant and postpartum women according to the demand for nursing care. a methodological study conducted in three stages: 1) construction of the instrument based on literature review; 2) content validation using the Delphi technique with 12 experts; and 3) Evaluation of the convergent construct validity through the correlation between the scores of the constructed instrument and the Fugulin instrument. an instrument with ten indicators of specific care for pregnant and postpartum women was developed. A content validity index higher than 0.9 was obtained, requiring only one round of the Delphi technique. The Spearman coefficient was 0.64 between the instruments, indicating a strong correlation. the classification instrument specifically constructed for pregnant and postpartum women showed evidence of content validity and convergent construct validity with a widely used instrument in the national territory.

Sexual counseling for people with acute coronary syndrome: educational video development.

to assess validity evidence of an educational video on safe sexual activity after acute coronary syndrome. study in three phases: video development; content validity analysis by 11 experts; and analysis of validity based on response processes by seven people with coronary disease. The content validity ratio (CVR) was calculated with critical values for the second phase of 0.63 and for the third of 1.0. the video addressed the importance of resuming sexual activity and positions that consume less energy, clinical warning signs, the importance of adhering to treatment and a welcoming environment for sexual practice. A CVR above the critical value was obtained with a total of 4 minutes and 41 seconds. the educational video brings together adequate content validity evidence and can be used as a tool for patients after acute coronary syndrome.

School Leadership Scale for Teachers’ Pedagogical Competence (SLSS-TPC): Designing and Validity Evaluation

Background: School leadership (SLS) plays an important role in the development of the whole school system, especially in the improvement of the teachers’ pedagogical competence (TPC). The quality of TPC was not up to the mark hence it was expected that SLS may help teachers to improve their pedagogical competence (PC).&#x0D; Purpose: This study aimed to design and assess the content validity of a school leadership scale to improve the teachers’ pedagogical competence (TPC) by using content validity ratio (CVR), content validity index (CVI), and modified Kappa coefficient (K*).&#x0D; Methods: The SLSS-TPC used the three-stage procedure outlined by Almanasreh et al. (2018). Based on the literature review, thirty-six (36) items were formulated. The researcher consulted ten experts to establish the content validity through content validity ratio (CVR), content validity index (CVI), and Modified Kappa (K*) by using the methods of Lawshe (1975), Yusoff (2019), and Polit et al. (2007), respectively. CVR was calculated on a 3-point scale whereas CVI was calculated through a 4-point scale. Items with low CVR (&lt; .62) and low I-CVI (&lt; .78) were not considered.&#x0D; Results: The instrument consists of 4 constructs: (1) the role of the school head as a transformational leader, (2) the role of the school head as an instructional leader, (3) the role of the school head as a distributed leader, and (4) the role of school head as an authentic leader. After evaluation, thirty-two (32) items remained on the scale. The values for CVR ranged from .80 to 1 and for I-CVI values ranged from .90 to 1. The value of S-CVI/Ave was .96 and the value for K* ranged from .90 to 1. All these values provided evidence for the excellent content validity of the instrument.&#x0D; Conclusion: The newly developed school leadership scale for TPC (SLSS-TPC) had acceptable CVR, CVI, and K*
