The transition of care refers to the transfer of responsibility and information about patient care from discharge planning, medication monitoring, social support, symptom management after discharge to follow-up at outpatient appointments. To carry it out, the SBAR tool can be used, which is a mnemonic widely used in health institutions, so that information can be transmitted safely between professionals. This study aims to build and validate a communication tool for the transition of nursing care in a PICU, based on the SBAR mnemonic. This is a methodological study, with a quantitative approach. The methodological framework of Pasquali (2010) will be used, which emphasizes the importance of the instrument validation process. The study will be developed in three poles or stages. The first Pole will be the Theoretical, with a Scope Review in order to select the results to compose the SBAR construction items and Elaboration of the construct; the second pole/stage consists of the Empirical Procedures, through the judgment by 15 judges, experts in the field of Nursing, of the content and appearance of the construct using a Likert scale and semantic evaluation of the items and domains through the Brainstorming technique; the third pole/stage consists of statistical procedures, with statistical analysis and validation of the final version of the instrument through the content validity index (CVI), Kappa agreement coefficient (k) and Spearman correlation coefficient. It is expected that the construction and validation of a SBAR aimed at the needs of the pediatric ICU will provide effective communication based on the scientificity of Nursing, improving communication, patient safety, team collaboration, family involvement in care and efficiency institutional.
