Abstract
DOMINGUEZ-NARINO, Claudia Consuelo et al. Validation of a format for some nursing diagnosis of interest in the family . Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.4, pp.455-464. ISSN 0864-0319.
The objective was to determine the validity of criteria about a screening assessment format for some nursing diagnoses of interest in the family setting. The design followed the Evaluation of Technologies or Diagnostic Tests model. Two hundred four families from Bucaramanga city, Colombia were studied from September to October, 2008. The families were firstly assessed to verify the presence of some nursing diagnoses and then to confirm those diagnoses applicable to the family. With these formats, 10 diagnostic labels NANDA-I were evaluated. With the objective of determining the validity of screening formats, the psychometric characteristics indicating the validity of criteria were estimated. The main results were the prevalence of nursing diagnoses evaluated in the family setting such as health-generating behaviors, ineffective management of the family therapeutic regime, whereas the less common ones were controversy about the parent's role, risk of deteriorated link between the parents and the breast-fed child. The screening instrument proved to be valid for NANDA-I diagnostic labels included in the study since good validity of criteria was achieved.
