| Aims: In order to review and determine the level and amount of relaxation, a standard scale is needed. According to that in Iran, there is so far no measures of relaxation made native or they are just translated, the aim of this study was to confirm the validity and reliability of Ramsy sedation scale in adult patients hospitalized in critical care units of Iran. Methods: This study is methodological. After translating the English version of Ramsy scale to Persian, 120 patients hospitalized in critical care units of two hospitals of Tehran city were selected by non-probable accessible purposeful sampling method. Eight evaluators (Main researcher, six nurses and anesthesia resident) independently evaluated the patients by using Persian version of Ramsy scale. Patients evaluated at first by main researcher and then other investigators observed and independently recorded Glasgow modificated by Palma & Cook and Glasgow Coma scores for visual analog scale and a score for Ramsy scale . Results: Interclass correlation coefficient in trained group was 0.843 and the weighted kappa score for inter-rater agreement was 0.875 (p<; 0.001). Validity tests showed a high correlation (r=0.978) between Ramsy with visual analog scale and Glasgow Coma (r=0.772 p<; 0.001). Conclusion: Validity and reliability of Ramsy scale are confirmed for assessing sedation in adult patients hospitalized in critical care units in Iran. |
