Abstract
Aim: To construct and validate the content of evaluation instruments regarding nursing knowledge and skills in terms of the nasogastric probing procedure. Method: Methodological study conducted with 23 nursing teachers of public higher education institutions of Rio Grande do Norte, in the period June to September 2012, applying the Kappa and the Content Validation (CVI) indexes. Results: In the questionnaire concerning knowledge, three questions had a perfect concordance index, and nine were considered appropriate with changes. The script structured to assess ability, showed 13 items with a perfect concordance index and 15 as being appropriate with changes. The questionnaire obtained CVI 0.97 and Kappa 0.94 scores; as for the script, CVI 0.95 and Kappa 0.91 scores were achieved. Conclusion: The two instruments proved to be valid regarding their content, and are tools that can be used to enhance the quality of nursing care.
