Open-access Algorithms for the prevention and treatment of friction injury

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    Objective:  Develop and validate the content of algorithms for the prevention and treatment of friction injury.

    Methods:  For the construction of algorithms, an integrative literature review was conducted after searching SciELO, LILACS and MEDLINE databases. The algorithms were evaluated by 26 raters – 10 physicians and 16 nurses – using the Delphi technique. The results were analyzed by the Content Validity Index (CVI).

    Results:  In the first evaluation cycle, the items of the algorithms were considered “inadequate” to “totally adequate” by the raters. After adjustments suggested by the raters, the algorithms were submitted to a second evaluation cycle, when all items were considered “adequate” or “totally adequate,” resulting in a content validity index of 1.0.

    Conclusion:  The algorithms have valid content and can help health professionals in the evaluation, prevention and treatment of friction injuries.
