The purpose of this study was to test construct and content validity of Monitor and to evaluate if its criteria were clear and concrete. The construct validity was evaluated after reviewing the Finnish nursing literature in order to determine how man is perceived and what are the essential principles of Finnish nursing care. Each of the Monitor criteria was then compared with that view of man and the principles present in the literature. The human needs by Yura and Walsh were examined in order to find out to what extent the Monitor-instrument covers these needs. The content validity and the clarity and concreteness of the criteria were evaluated by experts. The results imply that the physical characteristics of man were prevalent in 76 out of 155 criteria. The essential principles were found in Monitor, but the principles concerning health centricity and patients' independence were found only in 13 out of 155 criteria. The instrument covered 4 human needs by Yura and Walsh totally and 20 in part. The experts rated 151 criteria content valid, 143 concrete and 139 clear in this study. Retesting is needed in the future studies.
本研究的目的是检验“监测器”的结构效度和内容效度，并评估其标准是否清晰具体。在查阅芬兰护理文献后评估结构效度，以确定对人的认知以及芬兰护理的基本原则。然后将“监测器”的每项标准与文献中对人的看法和原则进行比较。研究了尤拉和沃尔什提出的人类需求，以了解“监测器”工具在多大程度上涵盖了这些需求。由专家评估内容效度以及标准的清晰度和具体性。结果表明，155项标准中有76项主要涉及人的身体特征。在“监测器”中发现了基本原则，但在155项标准中，仅有13项涉及以健康为中心和患者独立性的原则。该工具完全涵盖了尤拉和沃尔什提出的4项人类需求，部分涵盖了20项。在本研究中，专家们对151项标准的内容效度、143项标准的具体性和139项标准的清晰度给予了肯定。未来的研究需要进行重新测试。
