Abstract
Objective: to develop and validate an educational booklet to help health professionals to prevent and treat friction injuries. Method: methodological study. An integrative review of the literature of journals published between 2009 and 2019 was carried out in the main databases of Health Sciences. The evaluation of the educational booklet was conducted with 32 nurses, using the Delphi technique. The statistical analysis used was the Content Validity Index. Results: the judges considered the content of the educational booklet between the concepts “inadequate” and “adequate”, in the first assessment; after the corrections requested by the judges, the booklet was forwarded to the evaluators and the content of the educational booklet was rated between “adequate” and “totally adequate”. The overall Content Validity Index was 0.8118 in the first assessment and 1.0 in the second assessment. Conclusion: after the integrative literature review, the material was constructed and validated by professionals with experience in evaluating and treating individuals with wounds, obtaining consensus among the evaluators in the second evaluation.
Highlights
The integument is the largest organ in the body, necessary for the survival of the human being and for the perfect physiological balance of the organism, being able to suffer aggressions by intrinsic and extrinsic pathological factors
The objective was to answer the following guiding question: does the developed educational booklet have satisfactory quality for use in the clinical practice of professional nurses? Will the educational booklet built in this study provide support for health professionals to develop preventive measures and therapeutic conduct for patients who present risk factors or have already contracted friction injury (FI)?
This instrument can assist health professionals, who care for individuals who have risk factors or have acquired FI, in the clinical evaluation, offering preventive measures and therapeutic approaches to promote the healing of FI
Summary
The integument is the largest organ in the body, necessary for the survival of the human being and for the perfect physiological balance of the organism, being able to suffer aggressions by intrinsic and extrinsic pathological factors. These aggressions can cause changes in their constitution, such as burns, traumatic ulcers, dermatitis, friction injury (FI) and others, which can lead to the individual’s functional disability and cause changes in their quality of life[1,2,3]. The production of serous exudate, especially in the first 24 hours, makes the FI mostly moist[1,2,3,4]
