RESUMO
PURPOSE: To analyze the knowledge related to the use of the Rasch model in validation of nursing diagnoses. METHODS: Integrative literature review with search in LILACS, PUBMED, CINAHL, and SCOPUS. FINDINGS: Five studies comprised the sample, which analyzed unidimensionality, local independence, item calibration, item reliability, separation of items and people, and differential item functioning for analyzing nursing diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS: The Rasch model seems to be a useful method to validate nursing diagnoses and probably also for the validation of nursing outcomes in the Nursing Outcomes Classification. The use of this model is promising, considering the advantages that it can be used in studies with several methodological designs. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Methods that are able to provide more robust evidence of nursing diagnosis validity are needed to support highly accurate diagnostic findings in clinical practice.

PURPOSE: The study aimed to validate clinically the indicators of the nursing outcome "Tissue Integrity: Skin and Mucous Membranes" and its conceptual and operational definitions in people with diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A methodological study was conducted with an evaluation of 100 participants for two pairs: one of these pairs used the indicators without the definitions and the other used the indicators with their definitions. FINDINGS: The pair who used the definitions presented greater concordance and similarity in the ratings. CONCLUSIONS: The indicators and their definitions have been validated clinically. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The use of indicators with definitions can contribute to reliable and accurate evaluation of the tissue integrity of the feet in people with diabetes mellitus and, thus, assist in the measurement of the effectiveness of the nursing care provided. OBJETIVO: Validar clinicamente os indicadores do resultado de enfermagem "Integridade Tissular: pele e mucosas" e suas definições conceituais e operacionais em pessoas com diabetes mellitus. MÉTODOS: Estudo metodológico que consistiu na avaliação de 100 participantes por duas duplas de avaliadores: uma dupla utilizou os indicadores sem as definições e, a outra dupla, os indicadores com suas definições. RESULTADOS: A dupla que utilizou as definições apresentou maior concordância e similaridade nas avaliações. CONCLUSÃO: Os indicadores e suas definições foram validados clinicamente. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA DE ENFERMAGEM: A utilização de indicadores com suas respectivas definições pode contribuir para a avaliação confiável e precisa da integridade tissular dos pés de pessoas com diabetes mellitus e, assim, auxiliar na mensuração da eficácia da assistência de enfermagem.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To culturally adapt and test the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Spiritual Distress Scale. BACKGROUND: In Brazil, there is currently a lack of validated instruments that assess the spiritual dimension, which includes the spiritual distress phenomenon that can be experienced at different moments in a person's life. This can include times when a person is affected by a disease such as cancer, which occurs suddenly and causes significant life changes. DESIGN: Methodological and cross-sectional study. METHODS: Cultural adaptation of the Spiritual Distress Scale was performed using translation and back-translation stages, evaluation of cultural equivalence, committee review and pretesting. An interview using the Brazilian version of the scale was conducted with 170 patients in a cancer treatment unit of a charitable general hospital (not state funded). The following psychometric properties were evaluated: construct validity (divergence and factor analysis) and internal consistency/reliability (Cronbach's α and Kappa). RESULTS: Reliability analysis in the intra- and inter-rater phase showed that more than half of the items had Kappa values > 0·75. A correlation between the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and the Spiritual Distress Scale was found. Overall, the Spiritual Distress Scale showed a Cronbach's α of 0·87, with three of its four domains showing significant parameters. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of the Spiritual Distress Scale proved to be a reliable, valid and efficient instrument that is capable of assessing spiritual distress. The Brazilian Spiritual Distress Scale presented reliability and validity parameters that correspond to the original English version of the scale. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The existence of an internationally validated instrument that assesses spiritual distress will assist healthcare professionals and researchers in recognising this phenomenon in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the level of anxiety and performance of nursing students when performing a clinical simulation through the traditional method of assessment with the presence of an evaluator and through a filmed assessment without the presence of an evaluator. METHODOLOGY: Controlled trial with the participation of Brazilian public university 20 students who were randomly assigned to one of two groups: a) assessment through the traditional method with the presence of an evaluator; or b) filmed assessment. The level of anxiety was assessed using the Zung test and performance was measured based on the number of correct answers. RESULTS: Averages of 32 and 27 were obtained on the anxiety scale by the group assessed through the traditional method before and after the simulation, respectively, while the filmed group obtained averages of 33 and 26; the final scores correspond to mild anxiety. Even though there was a statistically significant reduction in the intra-groups scores before and after the simulation, there was no difference between the groups. As for the performance assessments in the clinical simulation, the groups obtained similar percentages of correct answers (83% in the traditional assessment and 84% in the filmed assessment) without statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION: Filming can be used and encouraged as a strategy to assess nursing undergraduate students.

PURPOSE: A literature search was used to verify the relevance of the nursing diagnoses Sexual Dysfunction and Ineffective Sexuality Patterns to their titles and to determine whether their defining characteristics address biological, psychological, and social aspects involving human sexuality. METHODS: This nonexperimental, descriptive study utilized content analysis based on a bibliographic review and nurse expert analysis of the definitions of the nursing diagnoses being studied in terms of the adequacy of the titles and their respective definitions as proposed by NANDA. FINDINGS: The title Sexual Dysfunction is pertinent; however, based upon the results of this study, the definition and defining characteristics should address the three human sexual response phases: desire, excitation, and orgasm. The title and definition of Ineffective Sexuality Patterns should be maintained; however, based upon the findings of this study, psychosocial aspects of sexuality should be included in the defining characteristics of this diagnosis. RECOMMENDATIONS. The location of Sexual Dysfunction in domain 8 (Sexuality) and class 2 (Sexual Function) is appropriate. It is recommended that Ineffective Sexuality Patterns remain in domain 8, but it should be transferred to class 1, as it refers to Sexual Identity.

This study was designed to determine the effect of a progressive muscle relaxation intervention on nausea and vomiting associated with anticancer chemotherapy. Subjects were 30 hematology patients who were hospitalized and received chemotherapy treatment at a large hospital in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. The results indicated that progressive muscle relaxation lead to statistically significant changes in physiological and muscle conditions and in nausea and vomiting levels. Therefore, this relaxation technique may be an effective nursing intervention method to allay or alleviate nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy. For future studies, we suggest using a control group, a homogeneous sample in terms of antiemetic and chemotherapy type and dosage, and the longitudinal following of subjects during chemotherapy.

Authors aimed at describing the history of the Nursing Interunits Doctoral Program offered at the São Paulo and Ribeirão Preto campi from 1981 to 2004. Data were collected based on the Program documents (resolutions, opinion, students' records, reports, etc). The Nursing Interunits Doctoral Program was approved by the University of São Paulo Graduate Council in May 25, 1981. During the past several years, until the beginning of the 1990s, the demand was centered in the students from the Schools responsible for the Program, followed by faculty from other Nursing Schools in Brazil. The Program has resulted in the formation of researchers from different Brazilian and South American Universities, leading the creation of research groups and originating new graduate programs.
