Methods: Descriptive and correlational validation study. Descriptors to define items: “Nursing”, “conceptual models”, “standardized language”, nursing process“. Validity analysis:Validation of appearance (Delphi Technique), Construct Validity (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) Internal consistency reliability (Cronbach9s alpha coefficient) Statistical Analysis conducted with SAS 9.3 Package Copyright (c) 2002-2010 by SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA. Results: N = 715. 79% female and 21% male. Mean age: 43 years (SD = 10.76) Delphi Method: 15 experts.22-item survey. 4 domains were obtained: Perception of usefulness (47,345%) Level of knowledge (13,490%) Frequency of implementation (6.249%) Degree of agreement (6.249%) All with a Cronbach9s alpha coefficient> 0.879 (Table 1)The total explained variance was 75.41%.
