Objective:
To assess evidence of content validity of the diagnostic proposition "Risk of imbalanced glycemic pattern".
Method:
Content validity study based on collective wisdom, with a quantitative approach. Sample composed of 51 participants who assessed the relevance and accuracy of 13 risk factors, 10 at-risk populations, and 16 associated conditions. For analysis, the content validity index was used, excluding diagnostic components that reached a value equal to or less than 0.5.
Results:
The diagnostic label and its definition achieved a content validity index of 0.98 and 0.94, respectively. The risk factors with the highest rates were inadequate blood glucose monitoring, inadequate knowledge of disease management, inadequate regularity of meal consumption, obesity, and overweight. No diagnostic component was excluded, as all of them presented evidence of content validity.
Conclusion:
The diagnostic proposition Risk of imbalanced glycemic pattern reached adequate values for consideration of evidence of content validity.
