Objective: To develop and to test the validity of content and layout of a multidimensional tool to evaluate maintenance of the cold chain for immunobiological conservation.Method: A methodological study carried out in three steps: integrative review; development of theoretical and logical model for the development of the tool; implementation of the Delphi Technique to test the validity of content and layout. The Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) were calculated considering appropriate those values greater than or equal to 75% and 0.4, respectively.Results: The instrument consisted of 7 questions about structure and 20 about process, subdivided into three components: Transportation/Reception (n=3); Storage/Handling (n=13); Supervision/Permanent education (n=4). The CVI value was 87.4%, with values equal to 85.7% and 89% in the structure and process dimensions, respectively. The process components obtained CVI values equal to 88.9, 88.9 and 89.2%, respectively. The CVR was 0.8, with values equal to 0.7 and 0.8 in the structure and process dimensions. As for the layout validation, the questionnaire was considered intelligible.Conclusion: The study provides an instrument with validity of content and layout for health professionals in charge of the supervision of activities of immunobiological conservation, ensuring the maintenance of the immunogenic quality of the products offered to the population.

Abstract Objective To develop and validate a brochure to guide health professionals in properly dressing and undressing the personal protective equipment (PPE) used in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods To develop the brochure, an integrative literature review was conducted after searching the following databases: SciELO, LILACS, and MEDLINE. The brochure was evaluated by 38 health professionals (nurses, physical therapists, and doctors) employing the Delphi technique. The results were analyzed using the Content Validity Index. Results In the first evaluation cycle, the items in the brochure were considered by the panel of experts as ranging from “unsuitable” to “totally adequate”. After the appropriate corrections suggested by the experts, the brochure once again was sent to the second evaluation cycle, in which all items were rated as “adequate” or “totally adequate.” The result is a Content Validity Index of 1.0. Conclusion The present study allowed the development of a brochure and its validation by consensus among the evaluation group. The developed and validated brochure presents the reliability of the technique of dressing and undressing the PPE used by health professionals during the pandemic of COVID-19. This information contributes to the management of assistance with quality and safety for the frontline workers and patients.

The validation was performed by six nurses through a focus group. The Content Validity Index was used and terms with a value ≥ 0.80 were validated. Results: the normalization resulted in 957 relevant terms, of which 499 were constant and 458 not included in the terminology. Terms were validated when Content Validity Index was between 0.86 and 1.0. Conclusions: the study allowed the validation of terms that will contribute to unify the professional language of nursing in the care of people with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT Objective: to build and semantically validate a safe communication tool to systematize care transition in pediatric clinical and emergency units. Method: a methodological study, based on the Classic Theory of Psychometric Tests and on the Instrument Development Model, proposed by Pasquali, which included seven professionals, five nurses and two physicians, experts in pediatrics and/or patient safety, who followed specific criteria for inclusion. Data collection was carried out between November and December 2016 and took place with the application of a form made available to the experts via the Google Drive/Microsoft® tool in two validation rounds, conducted by the Delphi Technique, being organized into two domains with 19 items. Data analysis was performed by calculating the Content Validity Index. Results: in order to validate the content, it was necessary to reach a Content Validity Index ≥ 0.80; thus, in the first round, five items underwent changes and were adjusted according to the experts' recommendations. These were validated in the second round, maintaining two domains and nineteen items. Conclusion: the construction and content validation of the instrument can enhance and qualify the clinical practice and contribute to minimize failures in pediatric patient safety associated with effective communication.
