ABSTRACT

The assessment is the basis for patient care. From observed data, a decision making process is triggered in order to activities which must to be performed are immediate. Therefore, it is a dynamic and systematic process whereby the nurse gathers and analyzes patient data through interaction with the patient, his/her family and other health professionals. Objective: To validate an assessment tool using Virginia Henderson model, this assessment tool should identify human needs changed due to a cardiovascular disease. Material and methods: Descriptive, prospective and crossover study, in which a nursing assessment tool was designed and validated at the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chavez, from March to June 2007. The Assessment was performed based on the results, expert opinion and internal reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. Results: The assessment tool was applied to 108 patients. In 92.7% of the cases, it provided data which were used by the staff to get a related diagnosis. The needs identified as changed needs were oxygenation in 14.5% of the patients, feeding in 13.05%, and clearance in 12.42%. The format received a rating of 8.5 from the staff who applied the instrument, on a scale of 1 to 10; the reliability was acceptable (α = 0.71). Conclusions: Instrument for assessing cardiovascular nursing using Virginia Henderson model allowed detecting promptly changed patient needs, developing diagnoses, and continuing with the remaining stages of the nursing process; moreover, its implementation was considered possible by the nursing staff.
