Abstract
Background:Understanding the extent to which dementia care content is integrated into curricula is vital to prepare the nursing workforce to provide quality dementia care.Purpose:To revise and examine the content validity of the Dementia Care Content in Nursing Curricula Instrument (DCCNCI), an instrument for assessing dementia care content in prelicensure nursing curricula.Method:We generated additional items and refined the original DCCNCI. Ten recruited expert reviewers rated each item for relevancy and assessed their clarity, meaningfulness, and completeness.Results:39 of 47 items on the DCCNCI-Revised indicated significant content validity (cut-off value: 0.62, as calculated by applying Lawshe’s formula for calculating content validity ratio).Conclusion:The DCCNCI-Revised demonstrated acceptable content validity for assessing dementia care content and its integration into prelicensure nursing curricula.
