A Likert scale (1 - totally disagree /5 - totally agree) was used for the nursing action and the need of the activity for its intervention.

Results:

The nursing action was considered as critical with the mean score of 0.86% (SD=0.23) and 73 % of the experts considered that the title of the intervention exactly identifies the contents of the definition.
