Promoting maternal self-regulation knowledge in performing tasks and preparing before visiting or acknowledging the situation of preterm infants requiring treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to be more effective. It is necessary to measure maternal self-regulation knowledge with reliable quality instruments. Objective: To develop of the self-regulation knowledge instrument in relation to the functional and emotional responses of preterm mothers with infants hospitalized in the NICU. Method: The quality of the instuments was evaluated by 5 experts with different expertise. The instrument was examined by these five different specialists, including three neonatal nurse practitioners and two neonatal intensive care nurses. Also, the sample group was ten premature mothers who were selected by purposive sampling. The research tool was the self-regulation knowledge instrument of preterm infants mothers. It can be divided into two steps: 1) creating instruments, and 2) checking the quality of the instrument. The data were analyzed for the Content Validity Index (CVI), and the reliability was based on the Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20). Result: Adding details to some content points from the literature reviews were done. After that, created instruments and improved them based on the expert recommendations. Moreover, the quality of the instrument was checked by analyzing content validity, CVI, S-CVI, and ACP were .83, .91, and .91, respectively, and KR-20 reliability was .79. Conclusion: The contents of the instrument covered knowledge about mothers' self-regulation in terms of performance and emotional response. Finally, the quality of the instruments has validity and reliability through standard criteria that could be suitable for further using according to the research topic.
