The application validation was performed with 55 health professionals (nurses, physiotherapists and physicians) who were on the front line to combat COVID-19 in home care, using the Delphi technique. For data analysis, Content Validity Index and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were adopted.Results:
Most judges assessed the application from inadequate to fully adequate in the first assessment. After corrections according to suggestions, the application was reassessed as adequate to fully adequate. The mean Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.942, characterizing the instrument's internal consistency. Content Validity Index in the first assessment ranged from 0.935 to 0.939, and in the second assessment it was 1.0.Conclusion:
The Orienta COVID-19 application was validated by professionals who were on the front line in the fight against COVID-19 with consensus among judges in the second assessment.
