摘要："BackgroundMissed nursing care is a pervasive issue in hospitals, nursing homes, and communities, posing a significant threat to patient safety and the quality of nursing care. It has adverse effects on patient satisfaction and the motivation of nursing staff. Understanding the causes and nature of these care omissions in clinical settings is essential for implementing effective interventions. This study aims to develop and validate a tool for assessing missed nursing care in adult intensive care units.MethodsSemi-structured interviews, expert consultations conducted via the Delphi method and item analysis were used to develop the initial scale. Our analysis involved data collected from 400 nurses and employed correlation coefficient analysis, critical ratio assessment, Cronbach's alpha coefficient evaluation, discrete trend analysis, and factor analysis, which were grounded in both classical test theory and item response theory, allowing us to scrutinize and refine the items in the scale. To validate the scale, we conveniently sampled 550 nurses and assessed structural validity, internal reliability, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability to ensure the scale's robustness and accuracy.ResultsThe Missed Intensive Nursing Care Scale (MINCS) comprises three distinct components. Part A serves to collect general information about the participants. In Part B, the missed care elements are categorized into five domains, following the framework of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory: physiology, safety, belongingness, esteem, and cognition. Part C is dedicated to detailing the reasons behind missed care, which encompass labor resources, material resources, communication factors, and managerial factors. Remarkably, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the MINCS stands at an impressive 0.951, with S-CVI values of 0.988 and 0.977 in Part B and C, respectively, underscoring the scale's exceptional reliability and validity. This demonstrates the scale's effectiveness in measuring missed nursing care while upholding rigorous standards of quality.ConclusionsThe MINCS emerges as a robust and dependable instrument for quantifying instances of missed care within the ICU. Its efficacy makes it a valuable resource for informing the development of strategies aimed at averting and mitigating the adverse effects associated with missed nursing care."
