    The Patient Intensity for Nursing (PINI) instrument shows substantial interrater reliability for most dimensions. This nursing assessment tool

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Quality and Patient Care
    • Healthcare Measurement and Evaluation

    Background:

    • Accurate patient assessment is crucial for effective nursing care allocation.
    • The Patient Intensity for Nursing (PINI) instrument aims to quantify patient care needs.
    • Establishing the reliability of assessment tools is a prerequisite for their valid application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the interrater reliability of the 12 dimensions of the Patient Intensity for Nursing (PINI) instrument.
    • To determine the consistency of PINI scores when used by different nurses.

    Main Methods:

    • A multi-site study involving 121 Registered Nurses across three hospitals in two states.
    • Day and evening shift nurses provided paired ratings for 657 patients.
    • Interrater reliability was calculated using kappa statistics for each of the 12 PINI dimensions.

    Main Results:

    • Substantial interrater reliability (kappa > 0.60) was found for 10 out of 12 PINI dimensions.
    • Reliability varied across the dimensions, indicating areas of consistent and less consistent scoring.
    • Findings were consistent across participating hospitals.

    Conclusions:

    • The Patient Intensity for Nursing (PINI) instrument demonstrates good to substantial interrater reliability for most dimensions.
    • These findings support the use of the PINI and provide a basis for its further refinement and testing.
    • The study's results contribute to the validation of nursing intensity measurement tools.
