title: Clinical validation of nursing outcome mobility in patients with cerebrovascular accidents.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To clinically validate the nursing outcome Mobility in patients with cerebrovascular accidents.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive study, conducted in July 2011, with 38 outpatients, in northeastern Brazil. Data collection took place by evaluating two pairs of specialist nurses, where one pair used the instrument containing the constitutive and operational definitions of the indicators and magnitudes of the Mobility Outcome and the other pair without such definitions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  When analyzing the evaluations among nurses, all indicators showed significant differences by the Friedman test (p <0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The constitutive and operational definitions submitted to the validation process provide greater accuracy in assessing the cerebrovascular accident patient's mobility state.
