Validation of instrument for monitoring of central venous catheter dressing
Abstract
Objective: to validate an instrument for monitoring the central venous catheter dressing. Method: methodological study of content validation. The trial of the professionals took place in a single round, between February and April 2022, with the expert nurses from the intensive care units of a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro as judges. The Likert Scale was used to evaluate the degree of relevance of each item and the Content Validity Index to measure agreement on items scored by expert judges in the instrument. The relevance rate of the items had as minimum acceptable compliance the index of 80%. Results: 15 judges participated. After the validation process, an item was deleted and another requested new writing. The tool for monitoring good practices in dressing performance presented all nine items validated. Conclusion: the content for monitoring the performance of the dressing was validated, considering the best evidence, the opinion of experts and the specificities of the scenario. The study contributes to the use of a tool that allows the monitoring of actions related to central venous catheter dressing and prevention of bloodstream infections.
