Background: A validated discharge plan can promote proactive care and help prevent postoperative complications in patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery.
Objectives: To validate the content of a discharge plan for patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery.
Methodology: This methodological study involved content validation by 23 surgical or oncological nursing experts. Data were analyzed using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Content Validity Coefficient (CVC), with minimum values of 0.80. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, with a minimum value of 0.70.
Results: The instrument’s dimensions showed CVI and CVC values above 90%. Overall, 81% of the experts completely agreed with the items, resulting in an overall CVI of 94.5%, a CVC of 0.94, and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.72.
Conclusion: The discharge plan was considered valid by the experts, demonstrating internal consistency and applicability to nursing care for patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery.
