AB  - PURPOSE: To describe pilot testing of Quality of Diagnoses, Interventions and 
      Outcomes (Q-DIO), an instrument to measure quality of nursing documentation. 
      DESIGN: Instrument testing was performed using a random, stratified sample of 60 
      nursing documentations representing hospital nursing with and without 
      implementation of standardized nursing language (30 for both strata) in a Swiss 
      General Acute Hospital. METHODS: Internal consistency and intrarater and 
      interrater reliabilities were tested. Through item analyses, the grades of 
      difficulty and the discrimination validity of items were evaluated. FINDINGS: 
      Internal consistency of nursing diagnoses as process produced Cronbach's alpha 
      .83; nursing diagnoses as product .98; nursing interventions .90; and 
      nursing-sensitive patient outcomes .99. With Kappas of .95, the intrarater and 
      interrater reliabilities were good. Criteria for the grades of difficulty of 
      items and discrimination validity were well met. The results of this study 
      suggest that Q-DIO is a reliable instrument to measure the documentation quality 
      of nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes. Further testing of Q-DIO in 
      other settings is recommended.
