Validation methods of nursing protocols: an integrative review

Abstract

Objective: to identify scientific production about validation methods of nursing care protocols. Method: an integrative review with search at Scielo, Pubmed/MEDLINE, Virtual Health Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCOhost. The descriptors “validation studies”, “validation studies as topic”, “protocols”, “clinical protocols”, “practice guidelines as topic”, “nursing” and “nursing assessment” and the uncontrolled descriptor “validation” were used. Results: thirty-two articles were selected, most of them Brazilian. Content validation by experts was the most frequent method, with no consensus on the number of participants for the process. The collection instruments were mostly created by the authors. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and Content Validity Index, with a variable consensus rate in the analyzed articles. Conclusion: protocols validated by experts are robust tools for use in clinical practice, with methodological rigor in development essential for its quality.

Development and Validation of a Protocol for Pregnant Women Based on the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines

“…21 The protocol presented in the present study was developed following rigorous methodological steps of development and evaluation proposed by guidelines, enabling its reproducibility. 8,20,21 Although the validation performed by a panel of experts is the most used to validate protocols in the health area, 33 the process carried out in the present study may have some limitations. The difficulties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic required adaptations in the methodology, such as carrying out the evaluation panels virtually.…”

Saúde Mental Do Trabalhador E O Alto Custo Da Assistência Médica: Uma Análise Por Meio Do Aprendizado De Máquina

“…A busca dos especialistas foi realizada por meio de amostragem não probabilística bola de neve [25][26] . O grau de concordância dos especialistas foi apurado por meio do Coeficiente de Validade de Conteúdo (CVC), um método de análise utilizado na área da saúde que possui como principal finalidade medir a proporção ou a porcentagem de especialistas que estão em concordância sobre os aspectos referentes ao estudo analisado 27 . O paciente com o maior custo teve um custo assistencial no período de R$ 257.599,93 e a média de custo desses pacientes foi de R$ 62.257,34.…”

Análise sobre estudos de validação de intervenções de enfermagem

“…The other ND used in studies in the Safety and Protection domain belonged and another diagnosis belonged to the Perception and Cognition domain, showing that there is a deficit in studies of Nursing interventions based on other diagnoses, covering other Nursing phenomena, which could bring benefits to validation research in Nursing. 28 It was made possible, by ND, the organization, based on concepts, of people's responses to the circumstances of life and health in which the nurse identifies and performs the treatment in relation to the responsibilities he assumes for the results, that is, the diagnoses are a reference point to guide nursing interventions. 29 There are serious implications for not using the ND to plan the interventions, which may cause a decrease in the quality of care, as the Nursing Diagnosis is a stage of the NP, that the construction of a care plan based on this phenomenon and without accurate diagnoses makes nursing interventions limited, as well as nursing's contribution to patients' health.…”
