To the best of our knowledge, there are no validated neonatal pain assessment scales in Spanish. Given the need for such a scale, a study was undertaken to adapt and validate the Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) scale. After translation and back-translation, content validity was addressed, a crucial phase in validation studies, in which researchers examine whether the items that make up the scale represent the content that the scale is intended to assess.
The aim was to provide evidence for the content validity of the Spanish adaptation of the PIPP-R scale.
The study used the Delphi technique with 10 experts. Data collection was anonymous and was conducted through an online platform. It was an ad hoc survey consisting of four questions, with a five-point Likert scale for each item on the scale and for the instruction table. An item-content validity index (I-CVI) and a scale-content validity index (S-CVI) were calculated for the analysis.
After two rounds of the survey, all items exceeded an I-CVI of 0.9. The S-CVI value was 0.98 (±0.03) for the scale, and 1 for its instruction table. The kappa index yielded values indicating an excellent degree of agreement.
The Spanish version of the PIPP-R obtained a high degree of content validity according to the expert group and the Delphi technique.
据我们所知，西班牙语中没有经过验证的新生儿疼痛评估量表。鉴于对这种量表的需求，我们进行了一项研究，旨在对早产儿疼痛状况量表修订版（PIPP-R）进行改编和验证。在翻译和回译之后，我们进行了内容效度评估，这是验证研究中的一个关键阶段，研究人员会检查构成量表的项目是否代表了量表旨在评估的内容。
旨在为 PIPP-R 量表西班牙语改编版的内容效度提供证据。
该研究使用了德尔菲法，有 10 名专家参与。数据收集是匿名的，通过在线平台进行。这是一项专门的调查，包括四个问题，量表和指导表的每个项目都有一个五分制李克特量表。计算了项目内容效度指数（I-CVI）和量表内容效度指数（S-CVI）进行分析。
经过两轮调查，所有项目的 I-CVI 均超过 0.9。量表的 S-CVI 值为 0.98（±0.03），指导表的 S-CVI 值为 1。kappa 指数值表明存在极好的一致性。
根据专家组和德尔菲技术，PIPP-R 的西班牙语版本具有高度的内容效度。
