Elaboration and validity of the Instrumento para Avaliação de Modelos metodológicos voltados ao Desenvolvimento de Tecnologias

OBJECTIVE

to elaborate and validate the Instrumento para Avaliação de Modelos metodológicos voltados ao Desenvolvimento de Tecnologias.

METHODS

a methodological study, developed in three stages: instrument structuring through documentary research and researchers' expertise; instrument validity with a panel of 11 expert judge nurses; and instrument final composition.

RESULTS

the instrument, after validity by experts, consisted of 30 items, divided into the content (26 items) and appearance (four items) domains. In the initial instrument validity process, 11 items were modified and seven were withdrawn, as they had a percentage of agreement below 0.80. The instrument showed excellent internal consistency, with values greater than 0.90 in its psychometric criteria.

CONCLUSION

the instrument produced and validated aimed at assessing research methodological models for technological development showed good reliability, and may contribute to the methodological rigor of technological development research in nursing.

Praxis Model for Technology Development: a participatory approach

OBJECTIVE

To present the Praxis model for Technology Development validated content and appearance.

METHOD

A methodological study with validity of a nursing research model, carried out from March to September 2022. A total of 26 research nurses from all regions of Brazil participated. The model items were considered relevant and reliable when the Content Validity Index Confidence Interval was ≥ 0.8 in just one round. When minor, modifications or deletions were made, as suggested by specialists.

RESULTS

The model was operationalized in the pragmatic, productive/artistic, experimental and revolutionary phases. Its assessment was considered relevant by judges, obtaining an average index of 0.950 for its content and 0.825 for appearance.

CONCLUSION

The praxis model presents theoretical clarity, a relevant and applicable approach in technological development research in nursing.

Risk management of adverse events in a maternity hospital

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the root causes of adverse events in a maternity hospital through risk management. Method: Action research with seven nursing professionals given their expressive capillarity in the service. The study was conducted between January 2020 and February 2021. The field of study was a public maternity hospital, in which a situational diagnosis of adverse events was carried out, and a questionnaire was applied to employees. In the thematic seminars, quality improvement tools were applied to identify the root causes of adverse events. Similar reports were grouped and analyzed. Results: With risk management, the root causes for adverse events related to patient identification, falls and prescription, use and administration of medications were identified. Final considerations: Weaknesses were observed in many fields that support adverse events. The institution must adopt consistent investments and collective attention. The study is still ongoing.
