Summary: | Objectives
To consensually validate the operational definitions of the nursing diagnoses activity intolerance, excessive fluid volume, and decreased cardiac output in patients with decompensated heart failure.
Method
Consensual validation was performed in two stages: analogy by similarity of defining characteristics, and development of operational definitions and validation with experts.
Results
A total of 38 defining characteristics were found. Operational definitions were developed and content‐validated. One hundred percent of agreement was achieved among the seven experts after five rounds. “Ascites” was added in the nursing diagnosis excessive fluid volume.
Conclusion
The consensual validation improves interpretation of human response, grounding the selection of nursing interventions and contributing to improved nursing outcomes.
Implications for Practice
Support the assessment of patients with decompensated heart failure.
Objetivos
Realizar a validação consensual das definições operacionais dos diagnósticos de enfermagem Intolerância à atividade, Volume de líquidos excessivo e Débito cardíaco diminuído em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca descompensada.
Método
Validação consensual em duas etapas: Analogia de semelhança das características definidoras e desenvolvimento de definições operacionais e validação com expertst.
Resultados
Foram encontradas 38 características definidoras para os diagnósticos de enfermagem. Suas definições operacionais foram desenvolvidas e seu conteúdo validado. Os resultados mostram que houve 100% de concordância entre os sete experts após cinco rodada. As definições operacionais foram classificadas com base no nível de concordânica. “Ascite” foi acrescentada ao diagnóstico Volume de líquidos excessivo.
Conclusão
A validação consensual melhora a interpretação das respostas humanas, embasando a seleção de intervenções de enfermagem e contribuindo para melhorar os resultados.
Implicações Para A Prática
Apoio à avaliação dos pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca descompensada. |
