Abstract

Aim. To test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Good Perioperative Nursing Care Scale for nurses and patients. Background. The nursing care in operating departments has an important role in modern health care and therefore more research concerning perioperative care quality is needed and the development of a measurement tool is necessary. Design. The study was designed as a cross‐sectional survey. Method. The research population was 346 patients who had surgery and 159 operating room nurses who worked at 11 hospitals. The GPNCS contains 32 items. The items on the nurses’ form were changed as little as possible to create the form for patients to be able to directly compare them. To determine the tool’s language equivalency/adaptation of the questionnaire for both nurses and patients, the tool was translated into Turkish then retranslated, and a pilot study was conducted. Results. The total scale’s total mean score and standard deviation for nurses was determined to be 113·23 (SD 2·13) and for patients was 128·23 (SD 1·27). To test the scale’s stability over time, a test‐retest was conducted and the results showed a strong confirmatory correlation. Conclusions. The GPNCS was determined to be a tool that had indicators of being adequate, reliable and valid for the Turkish population. Relevance to clinical practice. This study highlighted the importance of comparing the quality and effectiveness of nursing care in different operating departments. It is recommended that it be used to determine the quality of perioperative nursing care in Turkey.
