ABSTRACT
Introduction: Population aging, driven by demographic changes, makes it essential to develop work instruments as strategies to improve integration of care for the elderly at a health and social level.Objective: To validate an instrument for integration of formal and nonformal cares in the community elderly.
Methods: Content validation, concordance assessment and expert judgment validation of an instrument were performed by consulting 22 experts from Santiago de Cuba Municipality, Cuba, during 2019. The consultation was designed by means of theoretical and methodological content review. Theoretical methods were used: analysis and synthesis, the structured systemic method and modeling. Empirical methods were used: interview, survey and expert criteria. Statistical mathematical methods were used to process the data using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0.
Results: According to expert criteria, the degree of estimation of concordance and the validation of the instrument’s content was above 0.60%, with a value of good and very good on the scale, which is in favor of the instrument’s relevance from the point of view of design. The experts validated and recognized it as a useful instrument for assessing the integration of care in the community.
Conclusions: The instrument allowed to have a good validation and an adequate representation of the content through expert assessment with respect to the validity of the content, assessment of concordance and validation of expert judgment.
