Abstract

Purpose
The aim of this study is to evaluate the content validity of the preliminary items for a visual differentiation measurement on pressure injury (PI) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) for nurses.
Methods
This study was conducted using a convenience sampling and methodology research design. The participants were twenty three specialized wound care nurses in Korea. They were asked to response the validity regarding twenty items including wound photo and relevant information. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 28.0 with descriptive statistics.
Results
The scale-level content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) of 20 items was 0.96. All the participants agreed the photos and relevant information regarding stage I PI, stage IV PI, unstageable PI, and IAD. Agreement rate of stage II PI, deep tissue PI, blanching erythema was 91.3% and that of stage III was 82.6%.
Conclusion
The content validity of the preliminary items for a visual differentiation measurement on PI and IAD was acceptable. However, more detail description of the wound bed condition and changes over time are necessary in order to enable accurate PI and IAD assessment.
