Artikel ini membincangkan kesahan item dalam soal selidik bagi mengukur tahap stres murid sekolah menengah. Instrumen ini diadaptasi dari Inventori Stres Pelajar (ISP) dikhususkan untuk pelajar universiti yang dibina oleh Mohammad Aziz Shah Mohamed Arip, Durrah Nadiah Kamaruzaman, Azila Roslan & Aslina Ahmad (2020). ISP dibina berdasarkan gabungan dua teoretikal utama iaitu Teori Sindrom Adaptasi Umum atau General Adaptation Syndrome Theory dan Teori Stres Alam Sekitar atau Environmental Stress Theory. Untuk mendapatkan kesahan item dalam instrumen ini, pandangan lapan orang pakar telah dikaji. Kesahan instrumen diukur menggunakan Indeks Kesahan Kandungan (Content Validaty Index, CVI). Hasil penilaian kesahan oleh pakar menunjukkan semua pakar bersetuju dengan item yang disediakan. Sementara itu, dengan nilai S-CVI/Ave 0.963, instrumen ini menunjukkan tahap kesahan yang tinggi. Kesimpulannya, item dalam instrumen ini dianggap sah untuk mengukur tahap stres murid sekolah menengah berdasarkan kesahan pakar  yang tinggi.
