Abstract
Aim: To investigate the content validity of the Assistance Protocol for people with venous ulcers in primary care. Method: Methodological study, conducted from September to November 2012. A set of items to consider in multidisciplinary care protocol was produced. This proposal was submitted to content validation by judges selected from the Lattes Platform. With a list of items grouped into categories, 51 judges opined in relation to whether or not to keep them in the protocol. For the analysis, we adopted the Kappa index (K) and the Content Validity Index (CVI), with the cutoff point values > 0.80. Results: Nurses and doctors participated as judges. After removing items with K or CVI values lower than those previously set, the scores of categories achieved optimal values. Conclusion: The content of the protocol was validated, representing the initial consensus-based approach for people with venous ulcers in primary care
