“…Studies that focus on perceptions of nurses about car- as their competency (Geçkil et al, 2008;Wysong & Driver, 2009), since they believe good technical skills reduce their discomfort and lead to less pain (Ayyub et al, 2015). In this study, aspects of care such as observing the effects of being technically competent with a clinical procedure, consulting with the doctor, instructing a patient about aspects of care, listening to a patient, explaining the clinical procedure to a patient and being with a patient during the clinical procedure were among the endorsed items which are congruent with two previous studies (Akansel et al, 2012;Watson et al, 2003) TA B L E 3 Mokken scale of CDI-25 items (N = 260) although the order of the items is different. Items referring to technical aspects of nursing were found to be among the highly endorsed items.…”

“…Geçkil et al (2008) emphasized that the protection of privacy by nurses afforded the most satisfaction to patients from the nursing care they receive. In this study "providing privacy for a patient" was the most endorsed item which is the same as a previous study with Turkish nursing students (Akansel et al, 2012).…”

Aim This study aimed to determine nurses’ perceptions of caring activities in nursing. Design A descriptive study design. Methods A Turkish translation of the 25‐item version of the Caring Dimensions Inventory was completed by 260 nurses working in one university hospital. Data were analysed using Mokken scaling. Results Technical aspects of nursing were highly endorsed items such as “observing the effects of a medication on a patient, measuring vital signs, being technically competent with a clinical procedure, consulting with the doctor” except for the item “providing privacy for a patient” which is a psychosocial item. The range of items included in the Mokken scale with “providing privacy for a patient” (mean = 4.31) as the most endorsed, and “exploring the patient's lifestyle” (mean = 2.60) being the least endorsed item. Listening to patients and involving them in their care are not considered as caring.

“…Previous research using this instrument showed differences in the perception of caring regarding nurses' age and sex (R. and also differences regarding the clinical work area, between medical and surgical wards (Lea & Watson, 1999). The CDI-25 has been used to study the perceptions of caring in nursing among United Kingdom and Spanish nurses (Akansel et al, 2013;R. Watson et al, 2003).…”

Context:The concept of care is a fundamental issue in nursing science. Therefore the development and the use of tools for assessing care is an imperative for the nursing profession. The NDI-35 questionnaire is one such tool for assessing the nursing care.Objectives:The purpose of this paper is to adapt and use the NDI-35 questionnaire in Greek nursing practice. A translation and validation of NDI-35 questionnaire is performed.Methods:Exploratory factor analyses, as well as internal consistency and test–retest analyses, were conducted.Forward translations from English were produced by three independent Greek translators and then back translations by five independent bilingual translators. The Greek NDI-35 questionnaire that was produced was administered to 200 nurses (144 women and 56 men) from tertiary and secondary health care facilities. Data were analyzed using principal component analysis and Cronbach’s alpha.Results:One hundred and eighty four nurses that answered the NDI-35 questionnaire were graduates from the Technological Educational Institute (T.E.I.) and 64% of the respondents had more than 15 years of professional experience. Two subscales arbitrarily called “clinical work” and “patient needs” emerged, with the mean “clinical work” subscale score being at 70.16 ±12.90 (a maximum of 85) and mean “patient needs” subscale at 21.49± 6.16. Considerable differences in scoring among different items were observed when the NDI-35 answers were compared to their Greek counterparts’. Results confirmed that: (a) the translated versions are an accurate translation of the original, (b) factor analyses established similar factor solutions as that of the English versions, (c) reliability coefficients are satisfactory (i.e., Cronbach’s α coefficients and test–retests), and (d) construct validity revealed similarities between English and Greek versions, replications consistent with past research, as well as differences explained through theoretical frameworks. Therefore, both scales were accepted as valid and reliable measures in Greek-speaking populations.Conclusion:Alphas and test-retest correlation suggest the Greek translated and validated NDI-35 questionnaire is a reliable tool for assessing nursing care. Factor analysis and focus group input suggest it is a valid tool. Nurses in different settings may perceive nursing care differently. The findings of the current paper are discussed in the context of nurse education and assessment of care.

Mokken scaling of the Caring Dimensions Inventory (CDI‐25)

Abstract: The results using the Caring Dimensions Inventory will help to identify how caring in nursing is perceived by nursing students in Turkey. Repeating this study in different groups such as working nurses will help to determine nurses who work in clinical settings perceive caring in nursing.
