Abstract
CONTEXT: The 30‑item nurses’ observation scale for inpatient evaluation (NOSIE‑30) developed
for the behavioral and observational rating of psychiatric inpatients.
AIMS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validation of the NOSIE‑30 and mental
health‑care promotion.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The participants with psychiatric disorders were selected from 310
inpatients referred to the military educational hospital in Iran. This study was carried out in two phases:
First, translation of the NOSIE‑30 into Persian followed the stepwise, iterative procedures developed
by the International Quality of Life Assessment project approach. Second, face validity, criterion‑related
validity and construct validity, and reliability of the Persian version were determined. The concurrent
validity was assessed by using the global assessment of functioning (GAF) instrument. Data were
analyzed with the SPSS software of version 22. Exploratory factor analysis, the Cronbach’s alpha
coefficient, and interrater agreement with intraclass correlation coefficient and Pearson’s correlation
coefficient were used to data analysis.
RESULTS: Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the NOSIE and GAF was 0.75. The interrater
reliability for subscale scores and structure of the NOSIE were ranging from 0.70 to 0.94 and Cohen’s
kappa = 0.74. Furthermore, the internal consistency of the scale’s total scores was estimated by
Cronbach’s alpha = 0.85.
CONCLUSIONS: The finding indicated that NOSIE‑30 Persian version scale has the desirable validity
and reliability for evaluating the nursing care of inpatients. Thus, nurses can promote mental health
care by applying this scale in the psychiatric setting.
