Keywords:
Mothers, Parenting, Validation studies, Nursing diagnosisAbstract
Introduction: A valid instrument is needed to establish a nursing diagnosis of impaired parenting and to conduct interventions.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to validate the nursing diagnosis of impaired parenting using Rasch analysis with primiparous
mothers up to 24 years of age, during the first year of child rearing, and to compare the results of the clinical validation of that diagnosis
using Rasch analysis and Fehring’s method to clinically validatenursing diagnosis. Method: This was a cross-sectional study based on
Rasch analysis, pursuant to Messick’s construct validity guidelines. Results: Twenty-seven items representing 18 parenting-defining
characteristics showed content, structural, substantive and generalized validity. Conclusion: Clinically validating nursing diagnosis using
Rasch analysis makes it possible to establish dimensional diagnoses with construct validity.
