Abstract
Background and Purpose: Ensuring safety in psychiatry is crucial, but practices vary widely. This study aimed to validate the Italian version of the Ward Safety and Security Rules Survey (WSSRS-I). Methods: The validation process included cultural-linguistic adaptation, followed by content and face validation. Fifteen experts assessed content validity using the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (item level [I-CVI] and scale level [S-CVI]), adjusted for chance agreement (k*). Five psychiatric nurses evaluated face validity. Results: The WSSRS-I achieved substantial agreement on cultural-linguistic adaptation (Fleiss's kappa = .85) and item relevance (CVRs = .60-1; I-CVIs = .73-1; k* = .72-1; S-CVI = 0.90). Psychiatric nurses confirmed WSSRS-I appropriateness. Conclusions: The WSSRS-I demonstrated adequate content and face validity. It provides a tool to assess safety measures in Italian psychiatric settings, enhancing psychiatric nursing practices and research.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Nursing Measurement specifically addresses instrumentation in nursing. It serves as a prime forum for disseminating information on instruments, tools, approaches, and procedures developed or utilized for measuring variables in nursing research, practice, and education. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence for the reliability and validity or sensitivity and specificity of such instruments. The journal includes innovative discussions of theories, principles, practices, and issues relevant to nursing measurement.
