Background:
Role understanding and practice standards become extremely important in countries that are developing and assessing nursing and advanced practice nursing (APN) roles.
Aim:
To describe the process and findings of a content validation study conducted on the Advanced Practice Role Delineation (APRD) tool in a Finnish context.
Design:
A tool content validation study.
Method:
Between September and October 2019, three rounds of surveys (n = 9, n = 8, n = 5) were conducted to assess the content validity of the APRD tool. Furthermore, a thorough literature review was conducted in December 2020 to examine how the tool has been used and validated between January 2000 and December 2020.
Results:
A 45-item amendment of the APRD tool was created. The Scale Content Validity Index Average of 0.97 reflects excellent content validity. A literature review of 15 studies revealed that the tool has been used by many researchers, yet there is limited research on its content and construct.
Conclusion:
The steps taken in this study were effective and may be replicated in other countries. Further studies are needed to validate the content and structure of the developed 45-item modification of the APRD tool.
