Objective:
To develop and validate the content of a professional training course in mental health nursing care for hospitalized adult medical-surgical patients.
Method:
Content validation research, with the participation of eight experts recruited in 2019, focused on a hospital institution in the southern region of Brazil. Data were collected online and treated by descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results:
Four items of the course were evaluated, obtaining a Content Validation Index (CVI) of 0.98 in the item "concepts in mental health and its applicability to hospitalized medical-surgical patients"; 0.93 in the item "Pre- and post-course on evaluation of knowledge in mental health"; 0.95 in the item "Global overview of the systematization of nursing care in mental health"; and 0.94 in the item "Flowchart of the new mental health tree".
Conclusion:
The validation of the professional training course showed satisfactory CVI, and its content validated for use.
