This article describing the first phase in the development of an assessment scale of nursing-care dependency (NCD) for Dutch demented and mentally handicapped patients focuses on the background to the study and the content validation of the nursing-care dependency scale. The scale aims to characterize the patients' nursing-care dependency as part of the assessment step in the nursing process, and is based on Henderson's 14 human needs. The Delphi technique, using two panels of experts (n = 44), was applied to reach consensus on significant indicators of nursing-care dependency. The experts' reasoning was used to develop criteria for the assessment of nursing-care dependency. Ultimately, the Delphi rounds generated 15 NCD items with their descriptions and item criteria. There was no fundamental difference between the NCD scales for demented and mentally handicapped patients. Nevertheless, there are two versions of the NCD scale because of the need to apply specific concepts in the nursing care of either population. The original Dutch version of the NCD is also available in English and in Norwegian.
本文描述了针对荷兰痴呆症患者和智力障碍患者的护理依赖评估量表（NCD）开发的第一阶段，重点关注研究背景和护理依赖量表的内容效度。该量表旨在将患者的护理依赖特征作为护理过程评估步骤的一部分，并且基于亨德森的14项人类需求。运用德尔菲法，通过两个专家小组（n = 44）达成关于护理依赖重要指标的共识。专家的推理被用于制定护理依赖评估标准。最终，经过多轮德尔菲法产生了15个NCD项目及其描述和项目标准。痴呆症患者和智力障碍患者的NCD量表之间没有根本差异。然而，由于需要在这两类人群的护理中应用特定概念，所以有两个版本的NCD量表。NCD的原始荷兰语版本也有英语和挪威语版本。
