Check list da visita pré-operatória de enfermagem: avaliação da qualidade dos dados

Aim : to evaluate the quality of the preoperative nursing visit  check list  data in a university hospital in northeastern Brazil.  Method:  cross-sectional study from July to December 2017. The parameters non-fulfillment and reliability of data were used. For the calculation of incompleteness, the scoring system proposed by Romero and Cunha was adopted. Reliability was measured by the  Kappa  indicator.  Results:  203 preoperative visit sheets were analyzed; 68.2% of the variables (15 of 22 variables analyzed) had a percentage of non-fulfillment ranging from >5% to 9.9%, classified as very low/low non-fulfillment. Considering the  Kappa  values, 81.8% of the studied variables had data reliability considered almost perfect.  Conclusion:  The quality of the preoperative visit  check list  data is satisfactory, since the non-fulfillment of most of the analyzed variables is very low/low and the agreement analysis indicated that the information is robust and reliable.
