Abstract
Aim
To test the psychometric properties of the complexity assessment instrument for home nursing practice (COMID) Italian version.
Design
Cross-sectional study.
Methods
Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha, whilst the two-way mixed effects, absolute agreement, single measure intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 3.1) was calculated to evaluate the inter-rater reliability both on individual factors and the overall score. Registered Nurses enrolled at the MSc in Nursing at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland and homecare nurses working for several home care institutions were involved in the data collection process following ad hoc training on the use of the COMID assessment instrument.
Results
A total of 220 questionnaires were completed by 36 nurses. Cronbach's alpha was 0.764, in line with the original study. The inter-rater reliability ranged from good (factor 6 ICC = 0.85) to excellent (factors 1–5 ICC > 91), with the ICC assessed on the total score of the COMID also excellent (ICC = 0.95).
Conclusion
The COMID Italian version is a valid and reliable instrument for homecare nurses to assess complex situations according to the tests performed on a sample of older people receiving home care in Southern Switzerland.
Implications for Practice
The use of such an instrument will enable the identification of the most relevant areas of complexity to be discussed by the nursing and multidisciplinary team to plan and deliver personalised caring interventions.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Older People Nursing welcomes scholarly papers on all aspects of older people nursing including research, practice, education, management, and policy. We publish manuscripts that further scholarly inquiry and improve practice through innovation and creativity in all aspects of gerontological nursing. We encourage submission of integrative and systematic reviews; original quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research; secondary analyses of existing data; historical works; theoretical and conceptual analyses; evidence based practice projects and other practice improvement reports; and policy analyses. All submissions must reflect consideration of IJOPN''s international readership and include explicit perspective on gerontological nursing. We particularly welcome submissions from regions of the world underrepresented in the gerontological nursing literature and from settings and situations not typically addressed in that literature. Editorial perspectives are published in each issue. Editorial perspectives are submitted by invitation only.
