MEDEIROS, Rosana Kelly da Silva et al. Pasquali’s model of content validation in the Nursing researches. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2015, vol.serIV, n.4, pp.127-135. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV14009.

Background: The recognition of the quality of instruments that aim at verifying and assessing a given phenomenon, through the process of content validation, is essential for the legitimacy and credibility of research results. Objectives: To analyse the application of the Pasquali’s model of content validation to Brazilian research studies in the Nursing field conducted over the past five years. Methodology: Integrative literature review performed between July and August, 2013, using the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature database (LILACS) and Nursing Database (BDENF), with controlled and uncontrolled descriptors. Results: The studies adopted the Pasquali’s methodological reference model based on three procedures (theoretical, empirical, and analytical). This required the completion of different steps, such as the construction of the instrument, feedback from judges and application of statistical procedures for content validation. Conclusion: The process of content validation occurred during the theoretical procedure, in association with other types of validation to comply with the empirical and analytical procedures and achieve an effective validation.
