COVID-19 patients in prone position: validation of instructional materials for pressure injury prevention

ABSTRACT Objective: to perform the content and face validation of a checklist and a banner on pressure injury prevention in patients in prone position. Method: this is a methodological study of content and face validation with 26 nurses with specialization. Professionals assessed the checklist and the banner in relation to clarity, theoretical relevance, practical relevance, relation of the figures to the text and font size. The Content Validity Index was calculated for each item, considering one with a value equal to or greater than 0.8 as valid. Results: all the actions described in the checklist and in the banner had a Content Validity Index greater than 0.80, with standardization of verbal time and esthetic adjustments in the banner’s layout, as suggested. Conclusions: the checklist and the banner were validated and can be used in clinical practice to facilitate pressure injury preventions in patients in prone position.

摘要 目的：对俯卧位患者压力性损伤（pressure injury）预防相关核查表与宣教横幅开展内容效度与表面效度验证。方法：本研究为内容效度与表面效度的方法学研究，纳入26名具备专科资质的护士作为研究对象。研究者从清晰性、理论相关性、实践相关性、图文匹配度及字体大小五个维度，对该核查表与宣教横幅进行评估。针对每个条目计算内容效度指数（Content Validity Index, CVI），将指数≥0.80的条目判定为合格。结果：核查表与宣教横幅中所有描述的操作条目，其内容效度指数均大于0.80；同时按照建议完成了动词时态统一与横幅版面的美学优化。结论：本研究验证了该核查表与宣教横幅的效度，可应用于临床实践，助力俯卧位患者的压力性损伤预防工作。
