PURPOSE: To describe the methodological stages in determining the accuracy of clinical indicators in identifying nursing diagnoses.
DATA SOURCES: Literature review of diagnostic tests.
DATA SYNTHESIS: The methodological stages described include concept analysis, content analysis by experts, and accuracy analysis of clinical indicators.
CONCLUSIONS: The theory underlying the development of diagnostic tests can be used to evaluate the accuracy of clinical indicators in identifying nursing diagnoses.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Knowledge of the accuracy characteristics of clinical indicators allows the identification and discrimination of the most suitable nursing diagnoses.
PROPÓSITO: Descrever as etapas metodológicas da teoria de testes diagnósticos para avaliação de indicadores clínicos de diagnósticos de enfermagem.
ORIGEM DOS DADOS: Revisão da literatura sobre testes diagnósticos.
SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: As etapas metodológicas descritas incluem a análise de conceito, a análise de conteúdo por especialistas, e a análise da acurácia dos indicadores clínicos.
