ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: to validate the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire regarding cultural aspects and metric properties. METHODS: a methodological research carried out through cross-cultural adaptation, face and content validity, dimensional construct and known groups validity, test-retest reliability and internal consistency. 511 nurses from four hospitals participated in the study, of which 54 participated in retest. RESULTS: the instrument validation for Brazilian Portuguese maintained equivalences, according to the original version. The dimensional validity demonstrated adjustment to the tetrafactorial structure of the original version (GFI=0.69). There were statistically significant differences in critical thinking skills between nurses with graduate degrees and who undertook training, reading articles, developing research and working in an institution with a longer time implementation of the Nursing Process. The instrument showed temporal stability (ICC 073-0.84; p<0.001) and adequate internal consistency (α=0.97). CONCLUSIONS: the instrument proved to be valid and reliable for the studied population.

RESUMEN Objetivos: realizar la validación del Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire sobre aspectos culturales y propiedades métricas. Métodos: investigación metodológica realizada a través de adaptación transcultural, validez de rostro y contenido, validez de constructo dimensional y grupos conocidos, confiabilidad test-retest y consistencia interna. En el estudio participaron 511 enfermeras de cuatro hospitales, de las cuales 54 participaron en la nueva prueba. Resultados: la validación del instrumento para portugués brasileño mantuvo las equivalencias, según la versión original. La validez dimensional demostró ajuste a la estructura tetrafactorial de la versión original (GFI=0,69). Hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las habilidades de pensamiento crítico entre enfermeros con posgrados, que completaron su formación, leyendo artículos, desarrollando investigaciones y trabajando en una institución con un tiempo de implementación más largo del Proceso de Enfermería. El instrumento mostró estabilidad temporal (ICC=073-0,84; p<0,001) y adecuada consistencia interna (α=0,97). Conclusiones: el instrumento resultó válido y confiable para la población estudiada.
RESUMO Objetivos: realizar a validação do instrumento Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire quanto a aspectos culturais e propriedades métricas. Métodos: pesquisa metodológica, realizada por meio de adaptação transcultural, validade de face e conteúdo, validade de construto dimensional e de grupos conhecidos, confiabilidade teste-reteste e consistência interna. Participaram do estudo 511 enfermeiros de quatro hospitais, dos quais 54 participaram do reteste. Resultados: a validação do instrumento para o português brasileiro manteve as equivalências, conforme versão original. A validade dimensional demonstrou ajuste à estrutura tetrafatorial da versão original (GFI=0,69). Observaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas de habilidades do pensamento crítico entre enfermeiros com pós-graduação e que realizaram capacitações, com leitura de artigos, desenvolvimento de pesquisas e atuação em instituição com maior tempo de implantação do Processo de Enfermagem. Instrumento apresentou estabilidade temporal (CCI=073-0,84; p<0,001) e adequada consistência interna (α=0,97). Conclusões: instrumento se mostrou válido e confiável para população estudada.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of psychosocial aspects of basic nursing care, as e-charted by nurses, when using an interface terminology. METHODS: An observational, multicentre study was conducted in acute wards. The main outcome measure was the frequency of use of the psychosocial interventions in the electronic nursing care plans, analysed over a 12 month retrospective review. FINDINGS: Overall, 150,494 electronic care plans were studied. Most of the intervention concepts from the interface terminology were used by registered nurses to illustrate the psychosocial aspects of fundamentals of care in the electronic care plans. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The results presented help to demonstrate that the interventions of this interface terminology may be useful to inform psychosocial aspects of basic and advanced nursing care. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The identification of psychosocial elements of basic nursing care in the nursing documentation may lead to obtain a deeper understanding of those caring interventions nurses consider essential to represent nurse-patient interactions. The frequency of psychosocial interventions may contribute to delineate basic and advanced nursing care.
