Translation and Adaptation of the MISSCARE Survey for Use in Arabic Countries
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Since the MISSCARE Survey is the most used instrument in international research, this study aimed to translate and adapt the MISSCARE Survey to literary Arabic.
Methods: The translation and adaptation were performed according to Beaton et al. (2000) in 5 steps: translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert committee, and testing of the pre-final version of MISSCARE. This last step was conducted with a purposive sample of nurses working in a hospital in Qatar to evaluate the clarity, comprehensibility, and relevance of the translated instrument.
Results: Thirty nurses participated in our study from different Arabic countries, including Tunisia (53.3%), Egypt (23.3%) and Jordan (23.3%). The instrument was considered clear, comprehensible, relevant, and culturally appropriate. All items achieved acceptable I-CVI values (≥ 0.78), indicating good content validity. No major modifications were required.
Discussion and Conclusion: Findings show the relevance of each item of the Arabic version of MISSCARE to examine missed nursing care and its reasons. However, to permit its use in Arabic countries, additional studies are required to further test the validity and the reliability of our instrument.
