The expert nurse profile and diagnostic content validity of Sedentary Lifestyle: the Spanish validation.
OBJECTIVE
To identify the diagnostic content validity of Sedentary Lifestyle and to identify the expert nurse profile in validating this nursing diagnosis in the Spanish cultural context.


METHODS
Fehring's Diagnostic Content Validity (DCV), the factorial validity of the defining characteristics, the analysis of convergent validity, and the expert profile were assessed.


RESULTS
The DCV index for experts was .70. The factorial validity showed two different factors: the expression of laziness and the performance of activities of daily living. On the expert profile related factors analysis, two factors, experience and education, were identified.


CONCLUSIONS
The DCV for Sedentary Lifestyle was high among the expert nurses. A nurse was considered to be an expert who was able to accurately answer the four labels identified as nursing diagnoses, had read at least one nursing process article in the past year, and was able to list three nursing process reference books.


CONCLUSIONS
Clarifying the manifestations of sedentary lifestyle will assist clinical nurses in determining this diagnosis, and the expert profiles will assist in the selection of participants for content validity studies.
