About
A research team from the University of Seville and Flinders University has created a new 41-item questionnaire to assess fundamental nursing care. This questionnaire focuses on three main areas: the nurse-patient relationship, addressing patients' basic care needs (physical, relational, and psychosocial), and the context of care. This tool helps nurses evaluate and track the quality of care they provide over time.
The questionnaire is a self-administered, patient-reported tool. The questionnaire has been translated into English and adapted for use in Australia, but not yet in Danish. Senior Researcher Maria Kjøller Pedersen from Copenhagen University Hospital, North Zealand is leading the effort to translate and adapt it for Denmark in collaboration with University College Copenhagen.
The goal of this study is to translate, adapt, and validate the questionnaire for use in the Danish healthcare system.

Introduction: A research team from the University of Seville and Flinders University has developed a 41-item questionnaire to assess fundamental nursing care according to the Fundamentals of Care Framework (FoC Intelligence Modelling Tool - FoC-IMT), focusing on the nurse-patient relationship, basic care needs (physical, relational, and psychosocial), and the context of care. This self-administered, patient-reported tool (PRO) helps nurses evaluate and track the patients experience of care over time.
The questionnaire has been translated into English and adapted for use in Australia. Senior Researcher Maria Kjøller Pedersen from Copenhagen University Hospital, North Zealand, is leading the effort to translate and adapt it for Denmark in collaboration with University College Copenhagen. The goal is to translate, adapt, and validate the questionnaire for the Danish healthcare system.
Methods: The study will follow Cruchinho's guideline for translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation, comprising eight phases: Forward Translation, Forward Translation Synthesis, Back Translation, Harmonization, Pre-testing, Field Testing, Psychometric Validation, and Psychometric Properties Analysis.
Pre-testing was conducted in a hospital setting. Hospital patients (n=30) and nurses (n=8) were included from Hvidovre Hospital's infection medicine department.
Field testing and validation will be conducted in hospital settings. Hospital patients (n=205) will be recruited from Nordsjællands Hospital's cardiology departments.
