VALIDATION OF A METHODOLOGICAL RESEARCH MODEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NURSING TECHNOLOGIES

VALIDACIÓN DE MODELO METODOLÓGICO DE INVESTIGACIÓN PARA EL DESARROLLO TECNOLÓGICO EN ENFERMERÍA

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to verify validity evidence for the Praxis Model for Technology Development® in nursing.

Method:

a methodological study, guided by the human praxis framework. The operational model content was built by a documentary study of theses and dissertations available in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, and theoretical/epistemological content derived from the philosophical framework of Adolfo Sanchez Vázquez. The content and appearance were validated using the Instrument for Evaluating Methodological Models for Technology Development. Content analysis and the Content Validity Index with binomial test were used to analyze the data, while Cronbach's alpha was used for reliability.

Results:

the model was structured into four phases (pragmatic, creative/artistic, experimental and revolutionary). Validation was carried out by 26 nurse judges, selected according to the established criteria. The model was assessed as relevant by the judges, obtaining a mean index of 0.950 for the content domain and 0.825 for the appearance domain, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.941. Changes were suggested to the model's figures/diagrams regarding color, the model's sequential numbering and the representation of collective participation.

Conclusion:

the model was found to be clear and applicable for developing technological products and processes through a creative and participatory process, which will enable resolving problems in professional practice. It allows you to identify, plan, execute, test, report and synthesize solutions for nursing practice.
