ABSTRACT

Objective:

To build a nursing instrument to attend mothers who have recently given birth in primary health care.

Method:

This is a methodological research developed in five stages: identification of empirical indicators associated with mothers who have recently given birth by reviewing integrative literature; evaluation of empirical indicators by focal group; instrument structuring by categorizing indicators; instrument validation using the Delphi technique; and application and development of diagnostic statements and nursing interventions.

Results:

The instrument comprises identification data on mothers who have given birth recently, on the assessment of their human needs, and on nursing Care items. In the final version, we selected 73 diagnoses and 155 nursing interventions.
