Bundle for the prevention and management of complications of neutropenia in cancer patients.

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.
