Reliability and validity of Turkish version of the Individualised Care Scale

Abstract

The information obtained by the Individualised Care Scale will help nurses to identify areas where developmental work could be undertaken to provide individualised care.

Assessment of individualized nursing care in hospitalized patients in a university hospital in Turkey

“…), and Acaroglu and co‐workers adapted the scale to the Turkish population in 2011 (Acaroglu et al . , Acaroglu & Sendir ). The ICS comprises two sections of 17 items each.…”

“…The ICS is a five-item Likert type of scale developed in 2000 by Suhonen et al to make an evaluation of individualised care from the perspective of the patient (Suhonen et al 2000a). The same authors revised the scale in 2005 and reduced the number of items (Suhonen et al 2005a), and Acaroglu and co-workers adapted the scale to the Turkish population in 2011 (Acaroglu et al 2011, Acaroglu & Sendir 2012. The ICS comprises two sections of 17 items each.…”

“…Both the ICS-A and ICS-B are composed of similar statements and an equal number of items. There are three subscales that relate to individuality in terms of the patient's clinical situation (1-7), individuality in terms of the patient's personal life situation (8)(9)(10)(11) and individuality in terms of having decisional control over one's care (12-17) (Suhonen et al 2005a, Acaroglu et al 2011, Acaroglu & Sendir 2012.…”

A systematic review of instruments measuring patients′ perceptions of patient‐centred nursing care

Cross‐cultural validity of the Individualised Care Scale – a Rasch model analysis

“…Convergent validity of the ICS has been demonstrated Schmidt 2001). Since its development, many studies have also reported reliability and validity evidence of the scale internationally (Berg et al 2007, Kalafati et al 2007, Land & Suhonen 2009, Acaroglu et al 2011, Petroz et al 2011.…”
