This study was carried out with the aim of adapting the Intense Nursing Nurses’ Evidence-Based Guidelines for Prevention of Infections Related to Central Venus Catheter to the Turkish Test. Tools and Methods: The research was carried out in an intensive care unit of an educational and research hospital, between December 2015-January 2016. 50 intensive care nurses, who have been clinical nurses, who have worked in the unit for a few months and are volunteer to participate in the research, have been surveyed. In the assessment of the data, the average and standard deviation, the number and percentage, Kendall's W's good consistency analysis and Pearson's correlation analysis were used. The scope of the test questions is validity index assessed and the material analysis is carried out. Results: The recommended language/expression corrections have been made by experts who know both languages well in accordance with the feedback and expert opinions. For all questions and answers options and the total information test, the scope validity index value is 1.00. The test has shown its validity. The consistency between the experts has been analyzed and the consistency has been shown (Kendall's W=.111, p=.473). The validity of the simultaneous scale has been studied and it has been found that there is a meaningful relationship between the information test and the attitude scale points (r=.61, p<.001). The data test is valid. In substance analysis, the substance difficulty index, the substance distinctive strength index and the results of the analytics of the scattering option were determined to be at an adequate level. Results: The results showed that intensive care nurses have the scope and measurement validity of the test to assess evidence-based guidance information in the prevention of central venous catheter-related infections. The test questions have shown that the material analysis results are at an appropriate level. The correct answers in the test were recommended to be reviewed as the evidence-based guidelines are updated and the psycholinguistic and psychometric characteristics of the test should be tested in different samples. Keywords: Intensive care nursing, evidence-based application, central venous catheter, catheter-related infection, information assessment test. ABSTRACT Objective: This study was conducted for the purpose of adapting the Evidence-Based Guideline Knowledge Assessment Test of Critical Care Nurses in Preventing Central Venous Catheter Related Infections into Turkish. Material and Method: The study was carried out in the intensive care unit of a training and research hospital between December 2015-January 2016. Fifty intensive care nurses who were clinic (bedside) nurses, had been working in the unit for at least one month and volunteered to participate, were recruited to the study. Data were evaluated using mean and standard deviation, number and percentage, Kendall's W concordance analysis and Pearson's correlation analysis. Content validity of the test questions was assessed and item analyses were performed. Findings: Corrections offered for language/expressions were made by experts speaking both languages very well, in accordance with back translation and expert opinions. Content validity index value was found to be 1.00 for all question and answer options, as well as total information test. The test was shown to have a content validity. Concordance among expert opinions was analyzed and proved to be available (Kendall's W=.111, p=.473). The current scale validity was examined and it was found that there was a significant correlation between the nurses' information test and attitude scale scores (r=.61, p<.001). It was determined that the information test had a criterion validity. In the item analyses; it was determined that item difficulty index, item discrimination power index and distracter option analysis results were at a convenient level. Conclusion: The results have shown that evidence-based Guideline Knowledge Assessment Test of Critical Care Nurses in Preventing Central Venous Catheter Related Infections had content and criterion validity. It was revealed that item analysis results of the test questions were at a convenient level. It was recommended to review correct answers in the test whenever evidence-based guidelines would be updated and to test psycholinguistic and psychometric features of the test in different samples.
