Résumé
This evaluation project focused on assessing the content validity of an adapted version of the Casey-Fink (CF) Graduate Nurse Experience Survey, which is aimed at measuring role transitions in nursing. Registered nurses in the hospice and palliative care field need training and confidence to be proficient in core skills including communication, interprofessional competence, and clinical skills required to care for the dying patient. However, a review of the literature revealed a gap in the availability of survey instruments to measure the confidence of nurses entering the field of hospice and palliative care. Ten items from the CF survey were revised by the project team and then evaluated for relevance by a group of 7 national hospice and palliative experts. The content validity index (CVI) was used to determine item relevance. Item-level CVI (I-CVI) calculations ranged from 0.57 to 1.0. The 8 items scored between 0.80 and 1.0 were retained as written. One item required further revision (I-CVI, 0.71), and 1 item revision was eliminated (I-CVI, 0.57). Experts also suggested 5 additional items in the original CF-survey need modification. The adapted CF-survey tool is ready for further psychometric testing, and next steps include administration to a new sample of nurse residents to determine construct validity.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Registered nurses in the hospice and palliative care field need training and confidence to be proficient in core skills including communication, interprofessional competence, and clinical skills required to care for the dying patient. However, a review of the literature revealed a gap in the availability of survey instruments to measure the confidence of nurses entering the field of hospice and palliative care.
METHODS
METHODS
Ten items from the CF survey were revised by the project team and then evaluated for relevance by a group of 7 national hospice and palliative experts. The content validity index (CVI) was used to determine item relevance.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Item-level CVI (I-CVI) calculations ranged from 0.57 to 1.0. The 8 items scored between 0.80 and 1.0 were retained as written. One item required further revision (I-CVI, 0.71), and 1 item revision was eliminated (I-CVI, 0.57). Experts also suggested 5 additional items in the original CF-survey need modification.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The adapted CF-survey tool is ready for further psychometric testing, and next steps include administration to a new sample of nurse residents to determine construct validity.
