Abstrakt: Objective: Printed materials have been used as educational resources to assist healthcare professionals in evidence-based clinical practice by providing guidelines for treatment, prevention, and self-care. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a booklet on the risk assessment, prevention, and treatment of incontinence-associated dermatitis.
Methods: This was a descriptive, analytic, and quantitative study. The booklet was developed in six steps: situational diagnosis, development of the research question, integrative review of the literature, synthesis of knowledge, structuring and design, and validation of the content. An expert panel composed of 27 experienced nurses carried out content validation using the Delphi technique. The content validity index (CVI) and Cronbach α coefficient were calculated.
Results: The mean Cronbach α for the evaluation questionnaire was .91, indicating excellent internal consistency. The evaluators classified the content of the booklet from "inadequate" to "totally adequate" (overall CVI, 0.91) in the first round of consultation and from "adequate" and "totally adequate" (overall CVI, 1.0) in a second round of consultation. The booklet was therefore considered validated.
Conclusions: A booklet on risk assessment, prevention, and treatment of incontinence-associated dermatitis was created and validated by an expert panel, obtaining 100% consensus among the evaluators in the second round of consultation.
