Results: 93% of the items evaluated by the nurses reached Content Validation Index ≥ 70% whereas the experts validated 57% of the items. Meanwhile, the others calculations presented greater significance index than the established one, indicating non-concordance between the validators. After instrument’s reformulation with the suggestions of the first round, there was only comments of the expert number 2, which were analysed and changed in the second round instrument, thus achieving an IVC of 100%. Conclusion: Validation of the entire instrument was achieved, facilitating the deployment of the first phase of nursing process.
