IntroductionImplementation of clinical practice guidelines, an important strategy in the prevention of pressure injuries, enables the nurse to interpret evidence-based guideline recommendations, reduce errors, ensure compliance and standardisation of complex processes, manage patient-related risks and systematically regulate all preventable conditions.ObjectiveThis study was conducted to ensure the Turkish language and content validity of the Standardised Pressure Injury Prevention Protocol (SPIPP- Adult) Checklist 2.0.MethodIn this methodological research study, a five-stage technique was used in the translation of the SPIPP- Adult Checklist 2.0, which was created and revised by Joyce Pitmann et al. based on the International 2019 Clinical Practice Guidelines, into Turkish. These stages included initial translation, evaluation of initial translation, back translation, evaluation of back translation and expert opinion. Davis technique was used to determine the content validity of SPIPP- Adult Checklist 2.0.ResultsThe scale was translated into Turkish and back-translated into the original language and the opinions of nine experts were obtained. The content validity scores of the SPIPP- Adult Checklist 2.0 were found to be between 0.88 and 1.0 and the total CGI score was calculated as 0.99. This value shows that content validity is at an acceptable level. After expert evaluations, it was decided that the final version of the scale was appropriate for use.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that the SPIPP- Adult Checklist 2.0 is a valid tool. Interventions using the evidence-based checklist should be integrated into the workflow and provide the best opportunity for successful and sustainable pressure injury prevention.© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
