Abstract

Aim: To validate surgical positioning competencies with expert judges in perioperative nursing using the Delphi technique. Methods: Validation study of a competence-related instrument via Delphi. Five expert judges in perioperative issues, selected through the Lattes Platform, received an invitation and the instrument for assessment in terms of relevance, pertinence, clarity, and applicability. The data were analyzed using the Content Validity Index (CVI). Results: In the first round, there was agreement in 97.03% (n=98) of the items, with CVI greater than 0.90 in 89 of the 101 items, and only two items with CVI < 0.80. The total CVI was 0.95. In the second round, agreement was 88.12% (n=89) of the items, with a total CVI of 0.93. Conclusion: The judges showed high agreement on the content. Two items with low agreement were kept by the researcher, as they were considered important for assessing the risk of injury due to positioning and the need for repositioning during long procedures or with patient movement.
