Abstract:
AimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the revised quality of nursing diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes (Q-DIO R) instrument, designed to measure the quality of nursing documentation, in an Italian healthcare setting.MethodsThe study followed a multi-phase validation process that included translation and cultural adaptation of the tool, expert evaluations to assess content and face validity, and a cross-sectional study to test reliability. Data were collected from nursing documentation in two hospitals in northern Italy, with 389 patient plans analyzed.ResultsThe Q-DIO R demonstrated strong content validity, with experts agreeing on the importance of all items. The tool showed high reliability in assessing the quality of nursing diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes. Regression analyses between these components revealed that accurate nursing diagnoses were associated with improved care interventions and patient outcomes.ConclusionThe revised Q-DIO R proved to be a valid and reliable tool for assessing the quality of nursing documentation in Italy. Its use can help improve nursing practices by supporting more accurate diagnosis and better care planning, ultimately leading to enhanced patient outcomes. Further research is recommended to explore other factors that may influence the quality of nursing care planning.
