The content validity of the two-way translated Finnish HIP (HIP-F) was evaluated by five nurses and four patients with SMI using cognitive debriefing (to assess the clarity and relevance of each item and the recommended actions of the HIP tool). Therefore, this study aims to validate and establish the potential clinical utility of the translated Health Improvement Profile (HIP) tool for Finnish patients with SMI and compare differences in physical health risk items across genders. There is currently no validated physical health check instrument systematically used in Finnish mental health services. However, many people with SMI do not receive regular comprehensive health checks. Physical health among people with severe mental illness (SMI) is a global concern.
