Modified Delphi Technique: Content validity of the Pressure ulcer risk assessment tool

Abstract

A study was undertaken to develop the risk assessment tool for prediction of pressure ulcer. Content validity of the tool was done through modified Delphi technique. The Delphi is an interactive process designed to combine expert’s opinion into group consensus. Panel of experts was selected and three rounds of Delphi were completed for content validation. The I-CVI was ranged from 0.86 to 1. The content validity index of risk assessment tool (S-CVI) came out to be 0.92.
