Development and Content Validation of a Nursing Clinical Simulation Scenario on Transfusion Reaction Management.

Blood transfusion is a life-saving procedure widely used in healthcare. However, complications such as transfusion reactions may occur. Knowledge of these reactions is essential for patient safety. Nurses play a crucial role in this process by identifying complications and adverse reactions early on. A lack of professional competence in blood transfusion can lead to errors and serious complications, such as death. The aim of this study was to present evidence of the content validity of a simulated clinical scenario on transfusion reactions for teaching and learning for nursing students. This methodological study was carried out in three phases: (1) development of the simulated scenario of a transfusion reaction; (2) analysis of evidence of content validity by experts (n = 11); and (3) determination of satisfaction and self-confidence in the use of the simulated scenario by the nursing students (n = 45). The Content Validity Index was 94%. After the scenario had been developed, the content was validated and approved by 100% of the experts. All the items in the simulated scenario obtained agreement scores above 0.90. The simulated scenario was validated in terms of content and can be used to teach the management of transfusion reactions.

Construção e validação de tecnologia educacional para o manejo da sede pré-operatória / Construction and validation of educational technology for the management of preoperative thirst

RESUMO Objetivo construir e validar imagens com mensagens educativas para telefones móveis na adesão do manejo da sede pré-operatória. Métodos estudo metodológico, realizado em três fases: 1) coleta de informações dos pacientes com sede pré-operatória; 2) elaboração das imagens com mensagens educativas; 3) evidências de validade de conteúdo e aparência das imagens pelos experts. Calculou-se o Índice de Validade de Conteúdo e aplicou-se o teste binomial. Resultados foram confeccionadas 27 imagens com mensagens educativas para telefones móveis que trazem informações frente à sede, em relação aos seus sinais e sintomas, fatores causais, métodos utilizados no seu alívio e seus mecanismos de ação. O índice geral de validade de conteúdo foi de 0,96 e o índice geral de validade de aparência de 0,94. Conclusão as imagens com mensagens educativas para telefones móveis encontram-se validadas em conteúdo e aparência. Contribuições para a prática: consistem em um importante recurso que auxiliará na adesão de manejo da sede.

ABSTRACT Objective to develop and validate images with educational messages for mobile phones to help with the management of preoperative thirst. Methods methodological study, carried out in three phases: 1) collection of information from patients with preoperative thirst; 2) development of images with educational messages; 3) evidence of the validity of the content and appearance of the images by the experts. The Content Validity Index was calculated and the binomial test was applied. Results a total of 27 images were produced with educational messages for mobile phones that provide information on thirst, its signs and symptoms, causal factors, methods used to relieve it, and its mechanisms of action. The overall content validity index was 0.96 and the overall appearance validity index was 0.94. Conclusion images with educational messages for mobile phones are validated in content and appearance. Contributions to practice: are an important resource that will help in the adherence of thirst management.
