| Sumario: | Objectives: To develop and validate, for appearance and content, an instrument to assess the knowledge of nursing professionals and students on measures to prevent peripheral venous catheter-related bloodstream infection. Method: Methodological study carried out in two stages: instrument development, based on national and international guides, and appearance and content validation by ten expert judges, considering Content Validity Index ≥0.80 on clarity, relevance, and pertinence, as well as semantic analysis together with the target demographic. Results: After accepting the experts’ suggestions, the final instrument consisted of 36 questions in 6 dimensions with an overall Content Validity Index >0.90. Conclusion: The availability of the instrument responds to a gap in knowledge and can be used to assess the knowledge of nursing professionals and students regarding measures to prevent bloodstream infections associated with peripheral venous catheters. |
