Key Points

To develop and validate the CON-Ti-IT questionnaire for evaluating the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of intensive care unit nurses regarding physical restraint use in adult and pediatric settings.
Conducted a multicenter psychometric validation study following COSMIN guidelines across adult and pediatric intensive care units at two hospitals in northern Italy.
Generated items via literature review and expert consultation, followed by face and content validity testing, test–retest reliability assessment, and exploratory factor analysis.
The final 29-item instrument demonstrated high overall content validity (CVI = 0.96) after exploratory factor analysis led to the removal of three low-loading items.
Internal consistency was strong for the Practices subscale (Cronbach’s α = 0.89), but lower for the Attitudes (Cronbach’s α = 0.51) and Knowledge (Cronbach’s α = 0.47) subscales due to broader domain variability.
