title: Nursing outcomes for Brazilian pediatric patients hospitalized with deficient diversional activity.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To validate the content of nursing outcomes for pediatric patients hospitalized with a nursing diagnosis of deficient diversional activity.
  
  
  METHODS
  The nursing outcomes were evaluated by expert nurses from a Brazilian hospital; the nurses used a Likert-type scale. We considered those that had a weighted average of ≥0.80 as valid outcomes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eight (57.14%) nursing outcomes and 54 (45.38%) indicators were validated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The study suggests that nursing outcomes validated by the experts are pertinent for Brazilian pediatric patients hospitalized and diagnosed with deficient diversional activity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nursing Outcomes Classification is a viable alternative for the assessment of nursing care outcomes. Further studies should investigate the applicability of these data in clinical practice.
