DOMINGUEZ-NARINO, Claudia Consuelo et al. Validation of a format for some nursing diagnosis of interest in the family. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.2, pp.102-120. ISSN 0864-0319.

Objective: to determine the validity of criteria of a screening assessment format for some nursing diagnoses of interest in the family. Methods: the design used was Evaluation of Technologies or Diagnostic Tests. Two hundred and four families from Bucaramanga city in Colombia were studied. The assessment of families occurred from September to October, 2008. Firstly, a format of screening assessment was used to detect the presence of some nursing diagnoses, and then, a focalized assessment format for confirmation of nursing diagnoses applicable to the family was made. With these formats, ten diagnostic labels NANDA-1 were evaluated. The psychometric characteristics indicating criterion validity were estimated to determine the validity of the screening format. Results: high operational values of the screening format were achieved, in terms of high sensitivity, specificity, areas under the curve, predictive values and likelihood ratios. Based on focalized assessment, the most prevalent nursing diagnoses evaluated in the family were health-generating behaviors, ineffective management of family therapeutic regimes whereas the least frequent were conflicts with the parent role, risk of deterioration of the linking between parents and the breast-fed child. Conclusions: the screening instrument proved to be a valid instrument for the diagnostic labels of NANDA-1 included in the present study. The validity of criteria was good.
