Validation of increased intracranial pressure and high risk for increased intracranial pressure. 1994

B M Wall, and J P Philips, and J C Howard

The authors designed this validation study to determine the defining characteristics of increased intracranial pressure and the risk factors for high risk for increased intracranial pressure. Using Fehring's Diagnostic Content Validity Model, a purposive sample of 219 nurses validated 17 major and 16 minor defining characteristics of increased intracranial pressure and nine major and six minor risk factors for high risk for increased intracranial pressure. Ratings were similar among nurses with diverse educational preparation but varied among nurses in different specialty areas, suggesting that practice setting is important in nursing diagnosis validation studies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009733 Nursing Diagnosis Conclusions derived from the nursing assessment that establish a health status profile for the patient and from which nursing interventions may be ordered. Diagnosis, Nursing,Diagnoses, Nursing,Nursing Diagnoses
D011559 Pseudotumor Cerebri A condition marked by raised intracranial pressure and characterized clinically by HEADACHES; NAUSEA; PAPILLEDEMA, peripheral constriction of the visual fields, transient visual obscurations, and pulsatile TINNITUS. OBESITY is frequently associated with this condition, which primarily affects women between 20 and 44 years of age. Chronic PAPILLEDEMA may lead to optic nerve injury (see OPTIC NERVE DISEASES) and visual loss (see BLINDNESS).

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
