- Abstract
Objective: To perform clinical validation of a clinical protocol for treatment of individuals with venous ulcers in highly complex health services. Method: Methodological quantitative study conducted by four specialist nurses who evaluated 32 patients with venous ulcers, at the Onofre Lopes University Hospital, in Natal/Rio Grande do Norte. Data was collected between July and December/2013 and analysis was carried out using Kappa test (K), considering K ≥ 0.61. Results: Items with unsatisfactory Kappa coefficients were excluded and the experts suggested changes in the categories anamnesis; examinations; verification of pain and pulse signs; surgical treatment of chronic venous disease; prevention of recurrence; reference and counter-reference. Conclusions: The protocol was validated in the clinical setting and, after adjustments, it contained 15 categories and 76 items. Validation optimized the instrument regarding applicability and relevance.
