- Abstract : PURPOSE: To adopt the language and to evaluate the psychometric properties of "Anxiety level" and "Anxiety self‐control" NOC outcomes in Portuguese adult patients. METHODS: Methodological design. FINDINGS: The final European Portuguese version of the NOC outcome "Anxiety level, " composed by 16 indicators, proved excellent internal consistency. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was forced to three factors. The NOC outcome "Anxiety self‐control, " composed of nine indicators, demonstrated a questionable internal consistency. EFA was forced to two factors. CONCLUSIONS: European Portuguese versions of the studied NOC outcomes proved to be tools with acceptable psychometric properties for evaluating anxiety in Portuguese patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This study contributed to the development of NOC language and to the enrichment of nursing's body of knowledge.

CONCLUSÕES: As versões portuguesas dos resultados NOC estudados são instrumentos com propriedades psicométricas aceitáveis para avaliar a ansiedade em utentes portugueses. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA DE ENFERMAGEM: Este estudo contribuiu para o desenvolvimento da linguagem NOC e para enriquecer o corpo de conhecimento de Enfermagem. … (more)
