Validation of nursing outcome indicators of the nursing outcomes classification: dry eye severity

Abstract

Objective: To validate the content of the indicators of the nursing outcome Dry eye severity, of the Nursing Outcomes Classification, in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Methods: Methodological study of content validity, developed in two stages: the first, consisting of 23 specialists; and the second, of a consensus group formed by ten nurses. For analyzing the data in the first stage, we used the content validity index and binomial test for each indicator; in the second stage, the discussions of each meeting were transcripted, and the indicators that achieved 100% consensus were validated. Results: Of the 14 indicators evaluated by the specialists, 7 presented a cut-off point below 0.80, but did not show statistical significance in the binomial test. In the consensus group’s validation, six indicators were reformulated. Conclusion: This study considered the 14 indicators valid for evaluating patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
