Having an ostomy can restrict perspectives in life given that the physical alterations extend beyond the physiological realm and reach the psychosocial, which demand that the individual adapt to the new reality. It is believed that the use of an instrument developed based on a theory of caretaking that focuses on adaptation, such as the Roy Adaptation Model, can collaborate with the Systemization of Nursing Care Assistance and to the care of people with ostomy. Thus, this study aims to analyze evidence of the validity of the Verification of the Level of Adaptation Scale for People with Ostomy (ENAE – in Portuguese), based on the Roy Model. This research is characterized as a methodological validation study of the ENAE, which was developed in four stages: 1st – the theoretical pole constituted by two rounds of submissions of the instrument to the judges, the carrying out of a pilot test, and lexical and grammatical correction; 2nd – the experimental pole that involves the planning of the application of the instrument, application and collection of data, the instrument having been applied to 200 people with ostomy at the Child and Adult Rehabilitation Center of Rio Grande do Norte; 3rd – the analytical pole involving the carrying out of the statistical analysis, applying Cronbach’s Alpha to analyze the internal consistency of the items, Pearson correlation, and T test to analyze the precision of the instrument, as well as the Kruskal-Wallis test to verify the evidence of criteria validity; 4th- the socio-demographic, clinical and health characteristics, and the dimensions of the ENAE in which the Mann-Whitney test was used. As a result, in the first stage, 13 items received suggestions for improvement, 3 items were unified as their approaches were similar, and 1 item was excluded. After the adjustments were completed in the first stage, a consensus among the judges was arrived at with regard to the representativeness of the items and the permanence in the modes. The final version of the instrument comprised 32 items distributed in four adaptive modes, the Cronbach’s Alpha rates being: physiological mode (α=0,680), self-concept (α=0,889), role function (α=0,749) and interdependence (α=0,793), with a global value of Alpha at 0,980. In the test-retest, regarding reliability, it was observed that the correlations were between 0,723 to 0,870, all of them strong and statistically significant (p<0,005) and with regard to the precision, it was verified that the means of the scores were very similar between the test and the retest, therefore without any statistically significant difference (T test). As for the criteria validity, it was verified that a significant relationship exits (p<0,001) through the Kruskal-Wallis test. A significant relationship was verified among sex, age, income, time of ostomy, permanence and presence of complications and the ENAE domains. Thus, the alternate hypothesis of the study is accepted, insofar as the instrument presented strong evidence of validity. The expectation is that the use of an instrument developed from a theory and validated scientifically, can contribute to the assistance practice for people with ostomy and aid in the development of nursing as a science.Acesso AbertoEstomiaModelos de EnfermagemAdaptação psicológicaEstudos de validaçãodoctoralThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ENFERMAGEM
