title: Construction and validation of a data collection tool for the clinical assessment of human responses of outpatients with chronic cardiovascular diseases.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To develop and test the content validity of a nursing assessment tool for data collection (NATDC) based on NANDA-I for use in outpatients with chronic cardiovascular diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Construction based on the literature, refinement with a pilot group of hypertensive outpatients and content validation by experts.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The NATDC questions were divided into demographic information of the patient and family, clinical data, physical examination, and interview according to NANDA-I domains.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The NATDC was constructed and validated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This tool can be used in patients with chronic illnesses who experience a variety of human responses seeking nursing care in an outpatient setting because it is based in human responses within a structured framework for nursing assessment.
