A validation study evaluated ten indicators for newborn positioning, achieving 100.0% agreement on seven and 80% on three. The research, led by Beatriz Rôsana Gonçalves de Oliveira Toso of Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, used the Delphi technique with expert nurses to build a standard operating procedure. The resulting protocol aims to standardize nursing care for neuromuscular development in the NICU.
Use Cases
- Validate clinical nursing procedures based on expert consensus using the Delphi method.
- Standardize newborn care protocols based on the ten evaluated positioning indicators.
- Train nursing staff on evidence-based positioning practices for neonatal neuromuscular development.
Strengths
- Validation results show high expert agreement, with seven of ten indicators achieving 100% consensus.
- Protocol development followed a structured validation technique (Delphi) with field expert nurses.
Limitations
- Row count and specific data format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
