To evaluate the adequacy of the activities in the nursing intervention Exercise Therapy: Ambulation for medical-surgical patients with impaired physical mobility.
Methods
A methodological study with 60 medical-surgical nurses in a large hospital in São Paulo, SP, Brazil. Nurses judged the appropriateness of the 20 activities that comprise the intervention, classified as major or minor.
Results
Eight activities were classified as major and 12 as minor for the care of medical-surgical patients with impaired physical mobility.
Conclusion and Implications for Practice
The activities of the intervention Exercise Therapy: Ambulation were considered adequate for medical-surgical patients with impaired physical mobility. These results contribute to future content validation studies and teaching of undergraduate students.
