Abstract
in English, Spanish

Objectives: to develop and analyze evidence of content validity of a checklist for training nurses in measuring bladder volume through ultrasound.

Methods: a methodological study, consisting of three stages: literature review; instrument item preparation; and analysis of evidence of content validity. The Content Validity Index (CVI) and Gwet's AC2 were used for content validity analyses.

Results: the checklist consisted of 23 items. The CVIs for clarity, relevance and dimensionality were 0.99, 0.99 and 0.98 respectively, and the CVIs for Gwet's AC2 with coefficients for clarity, relevance and dimensionality were 0.89, 0.97 and 0.95, respectively, with p<0.001.

Conclusions: the checklist developed for training nurses in measuring bladder volume through ultrasound achieved adequate evidence of content validity, and can be used to train nurses in clinical practice and future research.

Objetivos:: desarrollar y analizar evidencia de validez de contenido de una lista de verificación para la capacitación de enfermeros en la medición del volumen vesical mediante ultrasonido.

Métodos:: estudio metodológico, que consta de tres etapas: revisión de la literatura; preparación de artículos de instrumentos; y análisis de evidencia de validez de contenido. Para los análisis de validez de contenido se utilizaron el Índice de Validez de Contenido (CVI) y el AC2 de Gwet.

Resultados:: la lista de verificación estuvo compuesta por 23 ítems. Los IVC de claridad, relevancia y dimensionalidad fueron 0,99, 0,99 y 0,98 respectivamente, y los IVC para el AC2 de Gwet con coeficientes de claridad, relevancia y dimensionalidad fueron 0,89, 0,97 y 0,95, respectivamente, con p<0,001.

Conclusiones:: la lista de verificación desarrollada para capacitar a los enfermeros en la medición del volumen vesical mediante ultrasonido logró evidencia adecuada de validez de contenido, y puede ser utilizada para capacitar a los enfermeros en la práctica clínica y en futuras investigaciones.
