Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: The aim was to investigate and evaluate validity and reliability of the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) in Turkey. Methods: A cross‐sectional study design was used. Fifty‐nine patients in an intensive care unit for longer than 24 hr were included in this study. Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient indicated that the ICDSC was a reliable test with high internal consistency (specialist nurse min: 0.720, max: 0.855; primary nurse min: 0.728, max: 0.830). The sensitivity and specifity were high. Conclusion: The findings showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the ICDSC are high for Turkish patients. Implications for Nursing Practice: The ICDSC provides fast and effective evaluations of the patients for delirium. So, ICDSC may be easily integrated into routine nursing practice.
