ABSTRACT
Objective. To identify and map the types of analysis in nursing validation studies.Methods. This is a scoping review with collection carried out in July 2020. The following data extraction indicators were considered: year of publication, country of origin, type of study, level of evidence, scientific references for validation and types of analyses. Data were collected in the following bases: U.S. National Library of Medicine, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, Web of Science, PsycInfo, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, CAPES Theses and Dissertation Portal, Education Resources Information Center, The National Library of Australia's Trobe, Academic Archive Online, DART-Europe E-Theses Portal, Electronic Theses Online Service, Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal, National ETD Portal, Theses Canada, Theses and dissertations from Latin America. Results. The reviewsample consisted of 881 studies, with a predominance of articles (841; 95.5%), with a prevalence of publications in 2019 (152; 17.2%), of Brazilian origin (377; 42.8%), of the methodological study type (352; 39.9%). Polit and Beck stood out as the methodological reference (207; 23.5%) and Cronbach's Alpha (421; 47.8%) as the statistical test. Regarding the type of analysis, the exploratory factor analysis and the content validation index stood out. Conclusion. The use of at least one method of analysis was evident in more than half of the studies, which implied the need to carry out several statistical tests in order to evaluate the validation of the instrument used and show its reliability.

Se consideraron los siguientes indicadores para la extracción de datos: año de publicación, país de origen, tipo de estudio, nivel de evidencia, referencias científicas para la validación y tipos de análisis. Los datos se recolectaron en las siguientes bases: U.S. National Library of Medicine, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, Web of Science, PsycInfo, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, CAPES Theses and Dissertation Portal, Education Resources Information Center, The National Library of Australia's Trobe, Academic Archive Online, DART-Europe E-Theses Portal, Electronic Theses Online Service, Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal, National ETD Portal, Theses Canada y Tesis y disertaciones de América Latina. Resultados. La muestra la constituyeron 881 estudios, con predominio de artículos (841; 95.5%), con una frecuencia mayor de publicaciones en 2019 (152; 17.2%), de origen brasileño (377; 42.8%), del tipo de estudio metodológico. (352; 39.9%). Polit y Beck se destacaron como referencia metodológica (207; 23.5%) y el Alpha de Cronbach (421; 47.8%) como prueba estadística. En cuanto al tipo de análisis, se destacó el análisis factorial exploratorio y el índice de validación de contenido. Conclusión. En más de la mitad de los estudios fue evidente la utilización de, al menos, un método de análisis, lo que implicó la necesidad de realizar varias pruebas estadísticas con el fin de evaluar la validación del instrumento empleado y mostrar su fiabilidad.

BACKGROUND: The treatment of childhood cancer has achieved important advances evidencing a significant increase in overall survival; however, the diagnosis of these cases still seems late. Among the main causes for the delay in diagnosis are the issues related to the health system and the first professional who performs the care. The objective of this study is to evaluate the knowledge of primary care physicians and nurses about the most common signs and symptoms of pediatric cancers, as well as the factors related to the obtained scores. METHODS: This is a prospective cross-sectional study, developed in municipalities in the northeastern region of Brazil. Fifty-one professionals (physicians and nurses) were interviewed through a questionnaire structured as a quiz game about knowledge, training and attitudes regarding the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of professional characteristics on the number of correct answers on the implemented questionnaire on knowledge of childhood and adolescent cancer. RESULTS: In the bivariate analysis, the results indicated that the type of employment relationship influences the number of correct answers in the questionnaire used. However, when adjusted for covariates, only the professional category, which means being a medical professional, showed a significant effect on the number of correct answers (ß=-7.50, p=0.001). CONCLUSION: The type of employment relationship of medical professionals and nurses working in primary care had an influence on the number of correct answers for knowledge of childhood and adolescent cancer, but only the professional category (physician) was associated with the highest number when controlled by covariables, thereby justifying the need to improve the curricular training of nurses and greater investments in primary health care for continuing health education that includes infant and adolescent oncology.
