AB  - INTRODUCTION: Patient satisfaction with any health care experience is the result 
      of a complex set of interactions between the patient and the health system in 
      which care is received. Measuring patient satisfaction allows quantification of 
      the congruence between the expectations of care and the care that is received. It 
      is important to quantify satisfaction with care because it involves the patient 
      in the care experience and decreases the potential gap between expected and 
      actual care delivered over time. Despite the benefits of measuring satisfaction 
      with anesthesia care, this outcome has been historically understudied possibly 
      because of a lack of reliable tools that measure the construct. PURPOSE: The 
      purpose of this study was to test the content validity of items derived from an 
      integrated review of studies that measured patient satisfaction with anesthesia 
      care. METHODS: The content validity of the questions was tested using an expert 
      panel. A total of 13 nurse anesthetists consented to participate in the study as 
      expert panel members. Each expert panel member evaluated the items for content 
      validity on a 4-point scale. Both an Individual Content Validity Index (I-CVI) 
      and a Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI) were calculated. RESULTS: All I-CVI 
      scores were greater than 0.8. The range of I-CVI was 0.833 to 1.0. The average 
      scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI/ave) was 0.979. CONCLUSION: High content 
      validity of all items was supported by an expert panel of anesthesia providers. 
      The high level of agreement among raters related to the content of the general 
      anesthesia statements supports progressing to the next step in instrument 
      development.
