Objectives:
to develop and validate an instrument for the classification of pregnant and postpartum women according to the demand for nursing care.
Methods:
a methodological study conducted in three stages: 1) construction of the instrument based on literature review; 2) content validation using the Delphi technique with 12 experts; and 3) Evaluation of the convergent construct validity through the correlation between the scores of the constructed instrument and the Fugulin instrument.
Results:
an instrument with ten indicators of specific care for pregnant and postpartum women was developed. A content validity index higher than 0.9 was obtained, requiring only one round of the Delphi technique. The Spearman coefficient was 0.64 between the instruments, indicating a strong correlation.
Conclusions:
the classification instrument specifically constructed for pregnant and postpartum women showed evidence of content validity and convergent construct validity with a widely used instrument in the national territory.
