| Sumario: | Introduction: prevention and/or early identification of transfusion-associated reactionsrely on safe, evidence-based vigilance and direct care by nurses. Blood ProductsAdministration, an intervention in the Nursing Interventions classification (NIC),comprises 27 activities that have not been previously validated. Objective: to evaluatethe adequacy of the activities in the NIC intervention Blood Products Administrationfor adult patients. Methods: the adequacy of Blood Products Administration activitiesfor adult patients was evaluated by 73 critical care nurses of a private hospital.Activities with weighted ratios (WR) <0.80 but >0.50 were labeled as minor. Activitieswith WR ≥0.80 were classified as major. Activities with WR <0.50 were discarded.Additionally, the activities within their classifications as major or minor were typifiedby the researchers in six subgroups: Baseline care; Care throughout transfusion; Care after transfusion; Care throughout & after transfusion; Baseline care,care throughout & care after transfusion and Care after reaction.Results: 22 activities were classified as major, four were classified asminor (two were baseline care activities, one activity regarding carethroughout transfusion and one regarding care after transfusion)and one was considered nonessential (Obtain blood sample and firstvoided urine specimen after a transfusion reaction). Conclusions: inthe opinion of critical care nurses, the adequacy of most activities inBlood Product Administration was supported. A few changes to someactivities’ writing could improve clarity and accuracy. Our results cancontribute to future content validation studies with larger samples ofnurses from different backgrounds, such as Oncology nurses. |
