Validação de protocolo de enfermagem para assistência à mulher vítima de violência na atenção primária à saúde.

Abstract

Violence against women is a serious public health problem that deserves greater attention from society and nursing professionals who assist these women during care. In this sense, it is necessary that nurses are able to identify and report a victim of domestic violence, as well as provide appropriate care. Therefore, the objective of this study is to validate a nursing protocol for assisting women victims of violence. This study originates from an Institutional Program of Scholarships for Initiation in Technological Development and Innovation (2023-2024) entitled "Proposal for a Nursing Protocol for Assisting Women Victims of Violence". It is a methodological study with a mixed approach. The study was developed in three phases: 1. Integrative Literature Review, 2. Semi-structured Interview, 3. Content Validation of the instrument produced. In the first and second phases, the variables and domains that structure the nursing protocol were extracted. The third phase, was constructed using the Delphi Technique. For the selection of experts for this study, the following inclusion criteria were established: being a nurse, having experience in the area of ​​women's health, experience in the development of technologies in the health area, or experience in the area of ​​violence against women. Experts who had been away from care for less than five years were excluded. The group of experts was composed of 13 judges in Delphi I and 11 in Delphi II. In Delphi I, the IVC ranged between 89% and 97%, with the "Usefulness/Relevance" criterion being the best evaluated (97%) and "Updating" the one with the lowest index (89%). In Delphi II, there was a significant improvement, with seven of Pasquali's criteria reaching 100% agreement, reflecting the adequacy of the instrument after the revisions suggested by the experts. The other two criteria, "Update" and "Precision," also showed high agreement, with 99%, demonstrating that the implemented modifications were effective in improving the evaluated content. In addition, the increase in the overall Content Validity Index in the second round of the Delphi method stands out, rising from 95% in the first round to 100% in the second.

Therefore, the relevance of adopting protocols by nurses is highlighted, since these instruments are essential to ensure the safety of processes and practices, bringing benefits to both patients and professionals involved. To this end, the project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Paraíba under opinion number 6.980.900/2024.
