Objective:
Improve the content validity of the instrument for classification of pediatric patients and evaluate its construct validity.
Method:
A descriptive exploratory study in the measurement of the content validity index, and correlational design for construct validation through exploratory factor analysis.
Results:
The content validity index for indicators was 0.99 and it was 0.97 for graded situations. Three domains were extracted in the construct validation, namely: patient, family and therapeutic procedures, with 74.97% of explained variance. The instrument showed evidences of content and construct validity.
Conclusion:
The validation of the instrument occurred under the approach of family-centered care, and allowed incorporating some essential needs of childhood such as playing, interaction and affection in the content of the instrument.
