Abstract

Nursing is essential in the preoperative period, as an ally to reduce anxiety through therapeutic communication, establishing a therapeutic relationship and seeking to provide information and knowledge to this patient. The present study aimed to build and validate educational material on the main nursing guidelines in the preoperative period for adult and elderly surgical patients. This is a methodological study developed in two stages: construction of educational material and validation by judges. The construction involved a literature review. Validation was performed by nine judges, selected by searching the lattes platform and snowball sampling. An agreement of at least 0.80 was considered, analyzed by the content validity index. Regarding the objective of the material, a content validity index of 0.82 was obtained; in relation to structure/presentation 0.9; with respect to relevance 1.0. The suggestions made by the judges were accepted for the final version of the material. The material is valid to be used in the context of the preoperative period, aiming to contribute to the nursing guidance to adult and elderly patients.
