Description
Summary:Aim: to evaluate the quality of the preoperative nursing visit check list data in a university hospital in northeastern Brazil. Method: cross-sectional study from July to December 2017. The parameters non-fulfillment and reliability of data were used. For the calculation of incompleteness, the scoring system proposed by Romero and Cunha was adopted. Reliability was measured by the Kappa indicator. Results: 203 preoperative visit sheets were analyzed; 68.2% of the variables (15 of 22 variables analyzed) had a percentage of non-fulfillment ranging from 5% to 9.9%, classified as very low/low non-fulfillment. Considering the Kappa values, 81.8% of the studied variables had data reliability considered almost perfect. Conclusion: The quality of the preoperative visit check list data is satisfactory, since the non-fulfillment of most of the analyzed variables is very low/low and the agreement analysis indicated that the information is robust and reliable.
