To describe the research methodology used in development and validation of a scientific patient classification instrument for South African critical care patients.
This is a contextual, exploratory, and descriptive study. A two-phase validating model was used as a research method. In the development phase a literature review was carried out (domain identification), a provisional instrument developed (item generation), and a peer group discussion conducted (item formation). In the quantification phase 16 experts determined if both the items of the instrument and the entire instrument were content valid. The study was conducted within the framework of South African critical care nursing.
In the peer group discussion the instrument was debated until consensus was reached. In the quantification phase, both the items of the instrument and the entire instrument were rated as content valid.
Established patient classification systems can be successfully adapted and validated for local use.
描述用于开发和验证针对南非重症监护患者的科学患者分类工具所采用的研究方法。
这是一项背景性、探索性和描述性研究。采用两阶段验证模型作为研究方法。在开发阶段，进行了文献综述（领域识别），开发了初步工具（条目生成），并进行了同行小组讨论（条目形成）。在量化阶段，16位专家确定该工具的条目以及整个工具是否具有内容效度。该研究在南非重症监护护理的框架内进行。
在同行小组讨论中，对该工具进行了辩论，直至达成共识。在量化阶段，该工具的条目以及整个工具均被评定为具有内容效度。
已建立的患者分类系统可以成功地进行调整并验证以用于本地。
