GARCIA-EXPOSITO, Judith et al. A learning assessment instrument for the management of peripheral venous catheters: adaptation, extension and validation in Spanish. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.66, pp.158-183.  Epub 02-Maio-2022. ISSN 1695-6141.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.493061.

Nursing practice should be based on available evidence-based practice because of its impact on patient safety in care. Its use should not only be encouraged in professionals but should begin in nursing education. The objective of this study is to translate, adapt, extend and validate a learning assessment instrument in relation to knowledge of peripheral venous catheter management. A two-stage process was followed: 1) translation, adaptation and extension of the instrument; and 2) psychometric testing. The study included 675 nursing students. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.703 and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.91. The instrument was fairly balanced in terms of difficulty: 46.6% easy items, 13.3% items of medium difficulty and 53.3% of high difficulty. In conclusion, it is a simple instrument to use and to score. The Spanish version has good psychometric properties and provides a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of knowledge for the management of catheters.
