Abstract
Objective:
to build and validate the content on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) of a
sign language instrument for assessing the knowledge of the deaf.
Method:
methodological study in which the content validity process was used by 22
specialists in cardiac arrest and 16 deaf people. In the validation of
internal consistency, 113 deaf people participated. For the assessment of
the deaf, the Assistive Technology Assessment Questionnaire was used and, in
the content validity, an instrument with a Likert scale was used, which
included the content, clarity, objectivity, organization and language. Items
with a minimum agreement of 80% were considered valid, according to the
Content Validity Index (CVI) and binomial test. The internal consistency was
verified by Cronbach’s alpha.
Results:
The instrument contains 11 questions about the identification of
cardiorespiratory arrest, activation by aid and high quality chest
compression. It had a minimum content validity of 81% by the specialists,
90% by the deaf participants and internal consistency by the Cronbach alpha
of 0.86, being considered high.
Conclusion:
the instrument can be used in research to survey the previous knowledge of
deaf people about CPR, as well as in pre and/or post-testing studies that
test educational interventions with this public.
