Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Specific Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale

This study aimed to adapt the Intensive Care Unit-Specific Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale developed by Ingrid Wåhlin et al. (2022) for use in Türkiye. A total of 121 patients with critical illness were included in the study: 21 in the pilot phase and 100 in the main study. The reliability analysis comprised item-total correlation, intraclass correlation coefficients, Cronbach's alpha and receiver operating characteristic analysis. The Content Validity Index of the scale ranged from 0.90 to 1.00. The intraclass correlation coefficients values ranged from 0.911 to 0.983, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.859. The findings indicate that the Turkish version of the scale is both valid and reliable.
