Abstract

Methodological research which objective is to prepare a data collection instrument for hospitalized elderly.

It was developed in three phases: 1) the development of the instrument; 2) the validation of the instrument contents; 3)

clinical testing with elderly. In the first phase, the literature revision and development of the initial version of the instrument

were accomplished. The second phase was carried out in two stages: 1st) initial version of the instrument to validate thecontents of the items; 2nd) the development of the definitive version of the instrument. In the last phase, the final instrument

was tested in ten elderly patients. It is expected that the use of this instrument by nurses would result in a better orientation

to the older people, their family, their caregivers and the nursing team when they access the affected necessities in order

to minimize the established difficulties.
