Abstract

Objective: To construct and validate an instrument to assess knowledge about hepatitis B among nurses.

Method: Methodological study developed in three stages: theoretical (integrative review, construction of the instrument, content validation by an expert in the subject and semantic validation with the target population), empirical (pilot study with the target population) and analytical (content validity index, Cronbach's alpha and exploratory factor analysis). The target population of the instrument was primary health care nurses in the capital of Piauí, Brazil. Data collection was carried out online from August 2021 to May 2022.

Results: Semantic validation was performed by 20 nurses and the agreement score obtained through the Content Validity Index (CVI) was adequate, above 0.8. In the exploratory factor analysis, all indicators were within adequate and satisfactory limits, without any cross-loading or Heywood Case issues. Reliability indices also reached adequate levels (α = 0.89; ω = 0.89; and ORION ranging from 0.855 to 0.886 between domains). The final version of the instrument consists of 18 items that are categorized into three dimensions, accounting for an explained variance of 66.76%.

Conclusion: The instrument shows evidence of satisfactory content, appearance and internal structure validity to assess nurses' knowledge about hepatitis B, thus it can be used to support the planning and evaluation of continuing education programs for nurses and undergraduate students.

一种评估护士乙型肝炎知识的工具的构建和验证。

目的：构建并验证一种评估护士乙型肝炎知识的工具。方法：方法学研究分为三个阶段：理论阶段（综合评价、工具构建、主题专家内容验证和目标人群语义验证）、实证阶段（目标人群试点研究）和分析阶段（内容效度指数、Cronbach’s alpha和探索性因子分析）。该文书的目标人群是巴西首都Piauí的初级保健护士。数据收集于2021年8月至2022年5月在网上进行。结果：20名护士进行了语义验证，通过内容效度指数（CVI）获得的一致性评分较好，在0.8以上。在探索性因子分析中，所有指标都在充分和满意的范围内，没有交叉加载或Heywood Case问题。信度指标也达到了适当水平(α = 0.89；ω = 0.89；域间的取值范围为0.855 ~ 0.886)。该工具的最终版本由18个项目组成，分为三个维度，解释方差为66.76%。结论：该量表对护士乙型肝炎知识的评估内容、外观和内部结构效度满意，可用于支持护士和本科生继续教育项目的规划和评估。
