OBJECTIVE: To describe the current scientific literature about permanent and continuing nursing education in intensive care units worldwide. METHODS: This is an integrative literature review, using the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Regional Portal of the Virtual Health Library, and the PubMed Portal, carrying out the data analysis based on Laurence Bardin's theory of Content. RESULTS: In total, 26 articles were divided into four categories denominated - Permanent Education in Health Contemplating Nursing Learning Needs; Effects of Permanent Education in Health on Professional Practice and Quality of Care, Perceptions on Permanent Education and its Importance in Intensivist Nursing; and Strategies and Results of Permanent Health Education in Intensive Care. CONCLUSION: There are few studies published specifically on nursing health education in intensive care, and many works suggest that more research and education actions should be carried out for this audience, aimed at improving evidence-based practices and quality of intensivist nursing management.

“…Previous studies describing CCN knowledge of postoperative dysrhythmias and AEGs used investigator-developed instruments 9,10 . Of note, however, the authors in these studies did not report evidence for adequate reliability and validity of these instruments.…”

“…Preston et al 10 developed 2 new instruments and reported the process for estimates of content and face validity. Both instruments drew from a bank of case studies reviewed for tracing quality, clarity, and interpretation by 3 experts: an electrophysiologist, a cardiac surgery nurse educator, and a cardiac pacemaker rhythm specialist.…”

Background: Critical care nurses who care for postoperative cardiac surgery patients need such specialty knowledge as atrial electrograms (AEGs). An inadequate audit trail exists for psychometric performance of instruments to measure knowledge of AEGs.Objectives: The aim of this study was to revise a previously tested instrument and assess evidence for content validity (content validity index), internal consistency (Cronbach α), and stability (correlation coefficient, r) reliability against the a priori criterion of 0.80. Methods: The multiple-choice response, self-administered, paper-and-pencil instrument was revised to 20 items and named the Drake Atrial Electrogram Assessment Survey (DAEGAS). A panel of 6 AEG experts reviewed the DAEGAS for content validity evidence. The instrument was further revised to 19 items (13 knowledge and 6 AEG interpretation) and tested with 76 critical care nurses from the greater Houston metropolitan area.Results: The content validity index was 0.93. Cronbach α was .51, and test-retest r was 0.74. Cronbach α increased to .60 and r was 0.73 with removal of 3 items: 2 items with a negative item-total correlation and 1 item that was transitioned to a sample question.Discussion: Content validity evidence exceeded the a priori criterion. Internal consistency and stability reliability estimates did not meet the criterion, albeit the latter met the criterion recommended by psychometricians for a new instrument. Recommendations include further development of the DAEGAS to improve internal consistency estimates and testing for evidence of other forms of validity.Reliable and valid assessment of critical care nurse knowledge of AEGs will require improved psychometric performance of the DAEGAS.
