Replication data for "validação de instrumento para classificação de pacientes para embasar cuidados de enfermagem obstétrica"

The use of patient classification instruments allows estimating, quantifying and evaluating the demand for nursing care by groups of patients, categorizing them according to the need for nursing care by groups of patients, categorizing them according to need of care required by them, in a specific period of time. The applicability of a patient classification instrument is based on the forecast and management of human and material resources for assistance.

Given the absence of a specific instrument for classifying pregnant and postpartum women in obstetric hospitalization wards, the objective of this project was to build and evaluate the evidence of validity of an instrument for classifying pregnant and postpartum women according to the demand for nursing care. This is a methodological study carried out in four stages: 1) elaboration of the instrument based on the bibliographic review; 2) application of the Delphi technique for content validation; 3) application of the instrument in a sample of 120 beds in an obstetric unit and analysis of the correlation with the Fugulin instrument.
