Neutropenia Archives - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to construct and assess bundle content for the prevention and management of complications in neutropenia in cancer patients.

Methods:

a methodological study developed in four stages: scoping review; bundle construction; material assessment by experts (developed according to Pasquali’s psychometry); pilot test in a High Complexity Assistance Unit in Oncology. For content assessment, the Delphi technique was applied in two rounds and those items with Content Validation Coefficient (CVC)> 0.78 and agreement> 80.0% were considered valid. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results:

all bundle requirements reached agreement between judges above 80.0%, in addition to statistically significant levels of assessment. At the end of the Delphi technique, bundle was significantly valid with CVC = 0.92 and CVC = 0.93, respectively.

Conclusions:

bundle content proved to be valid and highly credible.
