title: Construction and validation of a tool to Assess the Use of Light Technologies at Intensive Care Units.
abstract: to construct and validate a tool to assess the use of light technologies by the nursing team at Intensive Care Units.
  
  
  
  methodological study in which the tool was elaborated by means of the psychometric method for construction based on the categorization of health technologies by Merhy and Franco, from the National Humanization Policy, using the Nursing Intervention Classification taxonomy to categorize the domains of the tool. Agreement Percentages and Content Validity Indices were used for the purpose of validation.
  
  
  
  The result of the application of the Interrater Agreement Percentage exceeded the recommended level of 80%, highlighting the relevance for the proposed theme in the assessment, with an agreement rate of 99%.
  
  
  
  the tool was validated with four domains (Bond, Autonomy, Welcoming and Management) and nineteen items that assess the use of light technologies at Intensive Care Units.
