Abstract
to perform the content and face validation of a checklist and a banner on pressure injury prevention in patients in prone position. this is a methodological study of content and face validation with 26 nurses with specialization. Professionals assessed the checklist and the banner in relation to clarity, theoretical relevance, practical relevance, relation of the figures to the text and font size. The Content Validity Index was calculated for each item, considering one with a value equal to or greater than 0.8 as valid. all the actions described in the checklist and in the banner had a Content Validity Index greater than 0.80, with standardization of verbal time and esthetic adjustments in the banner's layout, as suggested. the checklist and the banner were validated and can be used in clinical practice to facilitate pressure injury preventions in patients in prone position.
Highlights
The most recent pandemic in history, “Coronavirus Disease 2019”(COVID-19), had its first cases registered in December 2019 in Wuhan province, China
Some interventions are recommended for patients who develop ARDS, such as protective mechanical ventilation, increase in the level of final expiratory airway pressure according to the required fraction of inspired oxygen, alveolar recruitment maneuvers when indicated and, in cases of refractoriness, patient prone positioning[9]
Such materials can be safely incorporated into clinical practice in the format of standard operating procedures or as component materials of educational activities for the nursing staff in relation to the implementation of actions for pressure injuries (PI) prevention in patients with COVID-19 in prone position, ensuring that care is based on evidence
Summary
The most recent pandemic in history, “Coronavirus Disease 2019”(COVID-19), had its first cases registered in December 2019 in Wuhan province, China. As for the effects of early prone position in critically ill patients with COVID-19, a Chinese study with 60 patients demonstrated an improvement in hypoxemic level assessed by oxygen saturation and a reduction in mortality[11] This intervention implies possible complications, which must be prevented and monitored by the multidisciplinary team. Materials were not identified that contemplate all care for PI prevention in patients in prone position and that have been assessed for content and face validation Such materials can be safely incorporated into clinical practice in the format of standard operating procedures or as component materials of educational activities for the nursing staff in relation to the implementation of actions for PI prevention in patients with COVID-19 in prone position, ensuring that care is based on evidence
