Abstract

Introduction: Cancer is the main public health problem in the world, in the majority of diagnosed cases the main forms of treatment are medium and high complexity care, making the hospital routine for patients. Objective: Build and validate an affective medical record type technology for cancer patients during hospitalization. Methods: This is a descriptive study, developed in three stages: bibliographical survey, construction of the affective record and validation by expert judges and target audience. Data collection was carried out in a hospital in the interior of the Amazon, during October 2023. Three different questionnaires were used for the evaluation, answered according to the modified 4-point Likert scale. The Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Semantic Agreement Index (ICS) were used, both with a minimum agreement rate of 80%, and the study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: The technology was titled “Affective Record”, after data analysis, it was found that all topics evaluated had agreement with IVC and global ICS above 80%, with an agreement rate of 99% among expert judges in the area health, 100% for expert judges from other areas and 98% for the target audience. Therefore, it is valid and appropriate material, with a high level of agreement. Conclusion: In this way, a humanized tool is available, capable of making the hospital admission sector more welcoming, facilitating communication between the team-patient-family triad, in addition to alleviating the routine process of patient depersonalization during hospitalization.
