PURPOSE
To select and refine the outcomes and indicators of Nursing Outcomes Classification for the diagnosis of risk for perioperative positioning injury.
METHOD
Validation study on expert consensus and refinement through pilot study.
FINDINGS
Eight outcomes and 35 indicators were selected in consensus. After clinical testing was performed, in which 10 patients were assessed at five different times. Eight outcomes and 33 indicators remained in the protocol.
CONCLUSION
This study made it possible to select the most relevant outcomes and indicators to be measured for this diagnosis in clinical practice.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
