Abstract
Objective

To validate conceptual and operational definitions of Symptom control (1608) indicators for patients with cardiac diseases in palliative care.

Method

Definitions were established through a literature review and were validated by consensus among expert nurses. Two rounds of the Delphi method and a meeting with experts were carried out in order to validate the definitions for the indicators and for the magnitude of response for each indicator.

Results

Conceptual and operational definitions for Symptom control (1608) indicators and for the magnitude of response for each indicator were validated.

Conclusions

All conceptual and operational definitions of 11 indicators of the nursing outcome Symptom control (1608) were validated by experts. Content and clinical validation studies remain necessary to verify the capacity of the indicators to measure the effectiveness of nursing interventions in clinical practice and research.
