Sound knowledge of pressure ulcers is important to enable good prevention. There are limited instruments assessing pressure ulcer knowledge. The Pressure Ulcer Prevention Knowledge Assessment Instrument is among the scales of which psychometric properties have been studied rigorously and reflects the latest evidence. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Pressure Ulcer Prevention Knowledge Assessment Instrument (PUPKAI-T), an instrument that assesses knowledge of pressure ulcer prevention by using multiple-choice questions.
Linguistic validity was verified through front-to-back translation. Psychometric properties of the instrument were studied on a sample of 150 nurses working in a tertiary hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.
The content validity index of the translated instrument was 0.94, intra-class correlation coefficients were between 0.37 and 0.80, item difficulty indices were between 0.21 and 0.88, discrimination indices were 0.20-0.78, and the Kuder Richardson for the internal consistency was 0.803.
The PUPKAI-T was found to be a valid and reliable tool to evaluate nurses' knowledge on pressure ulcer prevention. The PUPKAI-T may be a useful tool for determining educational needs of nurses on pressure ulcer prevention.
对压疮有充分的了解对于做好预防工作很重要。评估压疮知识的工具有限。《压疮预防知识评估工具》是经过严格研究心理测量特性且反映最新证据的量表之一。本研究旨在评估土耳其语版《压疮预防知识评估工具》（PUPKAI-T）的有效性和可靠性，该工具通过多项选择题来评估压疮预防知识。
通过前后翻译验证语言有效性。在土耳其伊斯坦布尔一家三级医院工作的150名护士样本上研究该工具的心理测量特性。
翻译后的工具内容效度指数为0.94，组内相关系数在0.37至0.80之间，项目难度指数在0.21至0.88之间，区分指数为0.20 - 0.78，内部一致性的库德 - 理查森系数为0.803。
发现PUPKAI-T是评估护士压疮预防知识的有效且可靠的工具。PUPKAI-T可能是确定护士压疮预防教育需求的有用工具。
