CONTEXT: The 30‑item nurses’ observation scale for inpatient evaluation (NOSIE‑30) developedfor the behavioral and observational rating of psychiatric inpatients.AIMS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validation of the NOSIE‑30 and mentalhealth‑care promotion.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The participants with psychiatric disorders were selected from 310inpatients referred to the military educational hospital in Iran. This study was carried out in two phases:First, translation of the NOSIE‑30 into Persian followed the stepwise, iterative procedures developedby the International Quality of Life Assessment project approach. Second, face validity, criterion‑relatedvalidity and construct validity, and reliability of the Persian version were determined. The concurrentvalidity was assessed by using the global assessment of functioning (GAF) instrument. Data wereanalyzed with the SPSS software of version 22. Exploratory factor analysis, the Cronbach’s alphacoefficient, and interrater agreement with intraclass correlation coefficient and Pearson’s correlationcoefficient were used to data analysis.RESULTS: Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the NOSIE and GAF was 0.75. The interraterreliability for subscale scores and structure of the NOSIE were ranging from 0.70 to 0.94 and Cohen’skappa = 0.74. Furthermore, the internal consistency of the scale’s total scores was estimated byCronbach’s alpha = 0.85.CONCLUSIONS: The finding indicated that NOSIE‑30 Persian version scale has the desirable validityand reliability for evaluating the nursing care of inpatients. Thus, nurses can promote mental healthcare by applying this scale in the psychiatric setting.
