Abstract
The NAPinICU questionnaire, specifically designed to assess the needs of older adult patients in intensive care units, serves as a valuable tool for understanding and addressing their unique requirements. This study applied a cross-cultural translation process, followed by a cross-sectional survey to measure patients' needs and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic-translated version of the NAPinICU questionnaire. The older adults' translated questionnaire demonstrated high content validity, good test-retest reliability and acceptable internal consistency. Discriminative validity confirmed significant differences in needs ratings between university and private hospital patients. This translated and validated tool can help in assessing the needs of older adults in intensive care units. Assessment of these patients' needs assists in enhancing the quality of care delivered to them by nurses and other healthcare providers.

Nursing in Critical Care covers the diverse specialities of critical care nursing including surgery, medicine, cardiac, renal, neurosciences, haematology, obstetrics, accident and emergency, neonatal nursing and paediatrics.
Papers published in the journal normally fall into one of the following categories:
