The objective of this study is to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of COVERS.
This study was conducted on 41 newborns as methodological design. The scales, such as newborn information form, COVERS, preterm infant pain profile (PIPP), and neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS), were used in the study. Validity (e.g., language, content concurrent, and construct) and internal consistency and inter-rater reliability of the scale were conducted.
It was found that COVERS showed a high correlation with PIPP and NIPS, and the item-total correlation of COVERS was above 0.30 during and after heel lance procedure. The Cronbach's α values were 0.77 and 0.83 during and after heel lance procedure, respectively. The kappa values of the items of COVERS were between 0.38 and 0.78 during heel lance procedure.
It was concluded in this study that there was a moderate correlation in intraclass correlation coefficients for scores of COVERS during both diaper change and heel lance procedures. It has been concluded that the scale is valid and reliable in 27-week-old and older newborns.
本研究旨在确定 COVERS 的土耳其语有效性和可靠性。
本研究采用方法论设计，对 41 名新生儿进行研究。研究中使用了新生儿信息表、COVERS、早产儿疼痛量表（PIPP）和新生儿疼痛量表（NIPS）等量表。对量表的有效性（如语言、内容同时性和结构）和内部一致性以及评分者间信度进行了评估。
研究发现，COVERS 与 PIPP 和 NIPS 高度相关，足跟穿刺过程中和之后的 COVERS 项目总分相关性大于 0.30。足跟穿刺过程中和之后 Cronbach's α 值分别为 0.77 和 0.83。足跟穿刺过程中 COVERS 项目的κ 值在 0.38 至 0.78 之间。
本研究得出结论，在更换尿布和足跟穿刺过程中，COVERAGE 评分的组内相关系数具有中度相关性。该量表在 27 周龄及以上的新生儿中具有有效性和可靠性。
