RESUMO

The main goals of this research were the content and clinical validation of the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Deficient knowledge in relation to coronary artery disease and coronary artery bypass grafting. The Diagnostic Content Validation Model and the patient-focused Clinical Diagnostic Validity Model proposed by Fehring (1987) were used. Content validation (1st phase of the study) - to participate in this phase, 50 nurses were invited who were experts in nursing diagnosis, care delivery to patients with heart problems and/or education. For this phase, an instrument was used, comprising the defining characteristics of Deficient knowledge and their respective operational definitions. The experts classified the following as the main defining characteristics: verbalization of the problem (0.96), inaccurate performance of test (0.83) and expressing mistaken perception about health condition (0.83). The following characteristics were classified as secondary: inaccurate follow-through of instruction (0.71), lack of information recall (0.71), non-verbal indicators of low understanding level (0.69), repetitive questioning (0.68), information devaluation (0.64), not following the prescribed treatment (0.56), non-verbal indicators of lack of attention (0.56), lack of integration of treatment plan into daily activities (0.53) and expressing psychological change (anxiety, depression) (0.51). Inappropriate or exaggerated behaviors (0.34) was considered insufficient to characterize Deficient knowledge. Clinical validation (2nd phase of the study) - study participants in this phase were 80 adult patients in the preoperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting. This phase was carried out at the Beneficência Portuguesa Hospital in São Paulo City. Six instruments were used: General assessment questionnaire, Mini mental state examination, Hospital anxiety and depression scale, Questionnaire for knowledge assessment related to the disease and treatment, Questionnaire to assess information valuation and Self-assessment scale. All data collection instruments used in this phase and filled out by the researcher were passed to a specialized nurse, with a view to verifying the agreement between these two professionals in the identification of the defining characteristics. The following characteristics were identified by the researcher as well as by the specialized nurses with frequencies of more than 50%: inaccurate performance of test and expressing psychological change. Except for the verbalization of the problem characteristic, for which 27.5% of agreement was obtained between the two professionals, agreement rates exceeded 68% on all other characteristics. The defining characteristics with the highest reliability coefficients were inaccurate performance of test and expressing mistaken perception about health condition (R = 0.91). The defining characteristics with the lowest reliability coefficients were: non-verbal indicators of lack of attention (R = 0.05) and nonverbal indicators of low understanding level (R = 0.06). Only four (5%) patients displayed adequate performance on the questionnaire for knowledge assessment related to the disease and treatment. It can be concluded that the defining characteristics inaccurate performance of test and expressing mistaken perception about health condition constitute the best manifestations of Deficient knowledge, as they were identified in the 1st phase of the study as the main characteristics and were identified with high frequency levels in the 2nd phase
