Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To validate the content of the Qualipreterm guide, which assesses the quality of follow-up care for preterm infants in Primary Health Care. METHODS: We conducted a methodological study using the Delphi technique. In the first round, we included 17 judges (nurses, master's degree holders, and doctoral experts in neonatal health). In the second round, we included 20 nurses actively working in Primary Health Care. We performed data analysis using Cronbach's alpha, with a minimum acceptable value of 0.70. RESULTS: During the content validation phase, the overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.989, and across the domains, it exceeded 0.957. For the "Clarity" and "Comprehensibility" dimension, Cronbach's alpha was 0.993 in the second round, demonstrating satisfactory agreement among the items. All alpha coefficients surpassed 0.876 when distributed across the domains. CONCLUSIONS: The evaluative Qualipreterm guide's content achieved validation criteria and incorporated the received recommendations. In the final version, it contained 64 items.
