ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: to validate the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice survey on Nursing assistance during delivery and childbirth based on the concepts of Florence Nightingale's Environmental Theory and the recommendations of the National Guidelines for Assistance to Normal Delivery. Method: this is a methodological study in which the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice survey was elaborated, and validated regarding content and appearance. Data collection was carried out between the months of July and December 2017. The validations were performed by 22 nurses who work in delivery and childbirth care and the data were analyzed using the Content Validity Index and the Binomial test. Results: content and face validation evidenced that the agreement among the experts was satisfactory (Content Validity Index greater than 0.80 for all items evaluated). Conclusion: it is concluded that the survey can be used to assess the nurses' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice in relation to the Nursing assistance provided during delivery and childbirth.
RESUMEN Objetivo: validar la encuesta de Conocimiento, Actitud y Práctica sobre la asistencia de Enfermería en el parto y el nacimiento sobre la base de los conceptos de la Teoría Ambientalista de Florence Nightingale y de las recomendaciones de la Directriz Nacional de Asistencia en Partos Normales. Método: estudio metodológico, en el que se elaboró una encuesta de Conocimiento, Actitud y Práctica, validado en relación a su contenido y aspecto. La recolección de datos se realizó entre los meses de julio y diciembre de 2017. Las validaciones estuvieron a cargo de 22 enfermeros que se desempeñan en la asistencia al parto y el nacimiento, y los dados se analizaron por medio del Índice de Validez de Contenido y la Prueba Binomial. Resultados: la validación de contenido y de apariencia dejó en evidencia que la concordancia entre los especialistas fue satisfactoria (Índice de Validez de Contenido superior a 0,80 para todos los ítems evaluados). Conclusión: se concluye que la encuesta puede ser utilizada para evaluar el Conocimiento, la Actitud y la Práctica de los enfermeros en relación con la asistencia de Enfermería durante el parto y el nacimiento.

BACKGROUND: Obstetric telemonitoring can improve gestational care, reducing the need fortravel, and can be used in different contexts to enable early detection of complications and prevention of intercurrences, providing local intervention before hospitalization. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to identify advances, contributions and limitations of obstetric telemonitoring using mobile technologies. METHODS: A systematic review was performed on the Pubmed, Medline, LILACS, Cochrane, Scielo, Embase, ACM Surveys, and IEEE databases, from 2008 to 2018. PRISMA and CASP were used to analyze methodological rigour. RESULTS: 26 papers were included. The majority of the studies related to pregnant women, prenatal care, high-risk pregnancies and homecare. Only 2 articles related to postpartum and none related to delivery. Among the technological resources, the articles presented smartphone applications, which interact with external telemonitoring devices (such as electrodes attached to the body and thermometers) or request information about maternal and / or fetal health status. Based on those devices, decision-making by health professionals is more reliable, since data is obtained by digital devices that have a greater accuracy. The variety of studies is enormous and achieve promising results. However, there are still important gaps to be addressed. Many studies only cover isolated aspects of maternal health, e.g. blood pressure, which somehow limits clinical decision-making. All authors have described concerns about usability, but not all of them had actually performed usability tests. Interventions through obstetric telemonitoring can be applied to a wide range of domains, at various levels of healthcare complexity. There are still few investments in studies in developing countries, where maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality are higher. CONCLUSION: The area of obstetrical telemonitoring has a great potential for contributing with better gestational outcomes, early detection of complications, prevention of intercurrences, providing local intervention even before hospitalization. Development of obstetric telemonitoring systems wich collect complete obstetric parameter integrated with the periods of childbirth and postpartum is recommended.
