Determining Content Validity and Reporting a Content Validity Index for Simulation Scenarios
Aim:
This article aims to assist educators and researchers in determining content validity (CV) and reporting a content validity index (CVI) for simulation scenarios.
Background:
Educators and researchers involved in health care curricula may not recognize the need to validate and/or do not know how to validate a simulation scenario.
Method:
Two methods based on previous research that can be used to determine CV and report a CVI are discussed (Lynn and Lawshe).
Results:
Simulation scenarios need to be written so experts can fully understand the entirety of content and accurately assess whether items are relevant. Information for a CV template for experts is provided.
Conclusion:
Determining item CV and reporting an overall CVI are important elements necessary to simulation scenarios, especially when the scenario is used in a high-stakes assessment or research.
