Purpose:
The article investigates the interrater reliability of Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) "Caregiver Performance: Direct Care" in Indonesian language.
Methods:
Two raters assessed 31 caregivers of clients with mental disorders using NOC "Caregiver Performance: Direct Care" in January 2016. This NOC was translated into Indonesian and each indicator was operated in accordance with caregivers' need in taking care of clients. Kappa and percent agreement were used for the analysis.
Findings:
The overall kappa value of NOC "Caregiver Performance: Direct Care" was 0.752, while the percent agreement was 80.
Conclusions:
The interrater reliability of NOC "Caregiver Performance: Direct Care" in Indonesian was at the level of substantial reliability.
Implication For Nursing Practice:
NOC "Caregiver Performance: Direct Care" can be used in the clinical setting.
