Objectives:
to describe the process of content validity, implementation and assessment of use of a manual for nursing consultation for people living with Diabetes Mellitus.
Methods:
methodological research, with an interface with principles of implementation science developed in three stages: content validity; implementation; and use assessment.
Results:
content was assessed by seven experts, obtaining a general Content Validity Index of 0.80 and a Content Validity Ratio of 0.72. The manual, after adjustments based on recommendations received, was entitled "Consulta do Enfermeiro às pessoas que convivem com Diabetes Mellitus", organized in 67 pages, containing five chapters. Implementation took place in 24 municipalities in the west of Santa Catarina over a period of four months, and 43 nurses participated. User experience assessment was carried out with six nurses, and analysis resulted in three categories.
Final Considerations:
the manual met the proposed assessment parameters, revealing evidence and appropriating it for use.
