Purpose:
To validate the indicators of the mobility nursing outcome.
Methods:
This is a methodological study carried out from February to April 2011. The instrument was assessed by 23 nurses, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0.
Findings:
The title "physical mobility" was the most suitable. There was a statistical proportion of less than 85% of experts who agreed that the indicators running, crawling, jumping, and moves with ease were relevant to mobility nursing outcome (p < .05). However, these indicators were not associated with stroke patients.
Conclusions:
For stroke patients, some indicators are not adequate to their evaluation.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
This work supports the tools' development to assess accurate outcome measurements in specific populations.
