Instrumento de evaluación de la seguridad en la administración de medicamentos: Construcción y validación

Autoría SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Construir y validar el instrumento Evaluación de la Seguridad del Paciente en la Administración de Medicamentos (ASPAM - Avaliação da Segurança do Paciente na Administração de Medicamentos).

Método:

El estudio metodológico en que se procedió a la construcción, el Índice de Validación de Contenido (IVC), la validación de constructo (análisis factorial) y la confiabilidad, en términos de homogeneidad (Alfa de Cronbach).

Resultados:

La ASPAM alcanzó IVC de 0,77 para simplicidad, 0,76 para claridad y 0,93 para relevancia. El análisis factorial exploratorio se mostró adecuado para el instrumento (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkim de 0,66 y la esfericidad de Bartlett con p <0,001). El Alfa de Cronbach final de la escala con 28 ítems fue de 0,85.

Conclusión:

El instrumento ASPAM se mostró válido y confiable para la identificación de condiciones generadoras de riesgo para ocurrencia de eventos adversos a los medicamentos.

Descriptores:
Seguridad del Paciente; Utilización de Medicamentos; Estudios de Validación; Errores de Medicación; Cuidados de Enfermería
