Objective:
to construct and validate the content of an inventory of ethical problems experienced by nurses in mobile pre-hospital care.
Method:
a psychometric approach study, developed with the following stages: (1) instrument construction through a theoretical matrix based on deliberative bioethics, scoping review and online qualitative research; (2) content validity by judges; (3) pre-testing with Mobile Emergency Care Service nurses in various Brazilian states. For content validity analysis, the Content Validity Ratio was calculated (CVR>0.45 for judges and CVR>0.35 for the target population).
Results:
the instrument had 44 items, distributed across four dimensions.
Final Considerations:
the constructed instrument presented sources of evidence of content validity, providing good psychometric measurements and constituting a useful tool for nurses' practice in the pre-hospital setting.
