ABSTRACT
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to design and validate the instrument of observation “Indicators of Nurse Expertise, with the aim of identifying the expertise of the clinical nurse, providing care of interpersonal relationship to hospitalized patients.,
Methodology: This methodological research was done in several phases: the first involved in the design and development of the instrument, and the second, the process of validity. Content validity was conducted by a panel of four experts and the validity of criterion, a Pearson correlation between the indicators of expert instrument with a sample of 220 nurses was used, with the instrument of Professional Caring behavior. The third phase involved the reliability was performed taking into account trained observers, using a sample of ten nurses and a Cohen’s Kappa agreement test.
Results: We obtained a content validity of items between 1 and 0.75 and an overall validity of 0.90. In the reliability, an agreement degree among observers of 90.9% was obtained, r = 0.662. Linear regression with the equation: y = a + bx, where “b” represents the slope, with a value of 0.65 and “a” the intercept, was 13.02.
Conclusion: The instrument is convenient to classify nurses, in terms of interpersonal relationship expertise, as presented acceptable psychometric properties. The instrument of observation, “Indicators of Expertise,” predicts professional caring behavior, through a linear relationship.
