Summary:The aim of this paper is to validate the content of two instruments used to evaluate nursing care for people with skin lesions. Content validation study comprised of two stages: the first was the development of the instruments, beginning with a literature review; the second, content validation by means of an evaluation conducted by 30 judges/experts. For analysis, the Kappa coefficient ≥ 0.61 and content validity index ≥ 0.75 were adopted. The judges presented nine suggestions regarding the instrument's categories. All items of the questionnaire and the observation script reached acceptable rates of content validity and concordance. Some categories attained scores above the given value, confirming the validity of the content. The instruments showed satisfactory content validity rates, and can be used to measure the skills and knowledge of nursing care provided to people with skin lesions.
