Nursing consultation protocol for supported self-care for people with Parkinson’s disease - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to develop and validate the content of the Nursing Consultation Protocol for Supported Selfcare in People with Parkinson’s Disease.

Methods:

this methodological study was conducted in two stages: protocol development and content validation. Relevance and clarity were assessed using the Delphi technique. After evaluating the protocol instruments, the Content Validity Index was calculated.

Results:

an integrative review and a documental study characterizing older people with Parkinson’s disease guided the protocol development. The final version comprises 6 sections, 29 topics, and 14 subtopics. The Content Validity Index was high in the first round (0.94) and increased to 0.99 after refinements.

Conclusions:

the expert panel deemed the protocol content valid in terms of relevance and clarity. Further research is recommended to assess its clinical validity.
