Abstract:
This study aimed to validate and refine an information model on pain management in a Brazilian hospital, considering the institutional culture, using an expert consensus approach. The first stage took place through a computerized questionnaire and Content Validity Index calculation. Pain management attributes were considered validated with 75% consensus among 19 experts. The second stage validated and refined the information model by three experts via an online meeting. Results showed that out of 11 evaluated attributes, five were validated. In the second stage, the inclusion of new attributes was suggested to address institutional culture. The final information model resulted from 23 sets of revised attributes: 12 validated, seven suggested and four not validated. The resulting Brazilian model has the potential to support the implementation of interventions and propose improvements to the institution's electronic system, which can be reused in other institutions.
