Aim: To explore the validity and reliability of the Missed Nursing Care Survey after translating it into the Arabic language. Methods: We employed a cross‐sectional design. We recruited 260 Jordanian nurses, and data were collected between May and July 2020. Translation, acceptability, construct, convergent, discriminant validity and reliability were investigated. Results: The factor analysis showed an adequate fit (three subscales) between the proposed missing care survey model and the observed data. This model reflected the survey's construct, convergent and discriminant validity, explaining 58.88% of the variance collectively. Confirmatory factor analyses showed adequate goodness‐of‐fit results (goodness of fit index = 0.91, comparative fit index = 0.94, increment fit index = 0.94, Tucker Lewis index = 0.92 and root mean square error of approximation = 0.06). The total Cronbach alpha and composite reliability achieved the criterion for all constructs in this survey. Conclusion: This Arabic version of the Missed Nursing Care Survey achieved the required level of validity and reliability. Measuring missed care and its reasons may help to improve quality of health services and assist nurse managers in designing appropriate interventions to reduce it. Adoption of culturally acceptable instruments by health‐care policymakers may support patient safety. Summary statement: What is already known about this topic? The Missed Nursing Care Survey was designed to identify reasons for missed nursing care.The Missed Nursing Care Survey has been shown to be a reliable and valid measure among various populations and different languages. What this paper adds? The Arabic version of the Missed Nursing Care Survey was shown to be a valid and reliable tool.Measuring the quality and procedures of nursing care in the Arabic region will aid in understanding the differences between countries. The implications of this paper: Adoption of culturally acceptable instruments by health‐care policymakers may support patient safety.Measuring missed care and its reasons may help to improve the quality of health services and assist nurse managers in designing appropriate interventions to reduce it.
