This study aimed to validate the results of Nursing selected from the link NANDA-I-NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification - NANDA - International) for diagnosis Ineffective Breathing Pattern and Impaired Spontaneous Ventilation in adult intensive care unit. This is a content validation study conducted in a university hospital in southern Brazil, with 15 expert nurses with clinical experience and knowledge of the ratings. The instruments contained five-point Likert scales to rate the importance of each outcome (1st step) and indicator (Step 2) for the diagnoses studied. We calculated weighted averages for each outcome / indicator, considering: 1 = 0. 2 = 0.25, 3 = 0.50, 4 = 0.75 and 5 = 1. The outcomes suggested by the NOC with averages above 0.8 were considered validated, as well as the indicators.
