Validation of concepts through descriptive research is a major step in instrument development. The concept of hypothermia as observed in the postanesthesia patient is discussed, and data are compared with the North American Nursing Diagnosis criteria of hypothermia. What emerges from the data are items specific to postanesthesia patients, which have been labeled as inadvertent postanesthesia hypothermia (IPH). Thus, the importance of concept analysis in instrument development is emphasized because the omission of this step from instrument development may result in lack of clarity or "fuzzy data" in what is to be measured.
通过描述性研究对概念进行验证是工具开发中的重要一步。本文讨论了麻醉后患者出现的体温过低概念，并将数据与北美护理诊断中体温过低的标准进行了比较。从数据中得出的是麻醉后患者特有的项目，这些项目被标记为麻醉后意外体温过低（IPH）。因此，强调了概念分析在工具开发中的重要性，因为在工具开发中省略这一步骤可能会导致要测量的内容缺乏清晰度或出现“模糊数据”。
