Abstract

Background and Purpose: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition resulting in poor patient outcomes. Therefore, methods to improve nurses' use of preventive measures for DVT are paramount. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an instrument that captured nurses' intentions to use DVT preventive measures.

Methods: Instrument development occurred in several stages stemming from the recommended formatted structure associated with theory of planned behavior (TPB). Content validity was established with a panel of experts, then the instrument was pilot tested with a sample of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Results: The final instrument consisted of four subscales, each subscale was tested with four items by content validity index (CVI) ranging between 0.8 and 1.0, and an overall S-CVI/Ave of 0.93.

Conclusions: The instrument demonstrated high content validity. Future research will test the instrument for psychometric properties.
