SUMMARY:

Syphilis is a systemic Sexually Transmitted Infection caused by Treponema pallidum, exclusively affecting humans. Transmitted sexually, it can also be vertical, resulting in congenital syphilis, associated with abortions, fetal deaths, and disabilities. This study constructed and validated specialized terminology specific for pregnant women with syphilis, structured by Callista Roy's Adaptation Model, to strengthen nursing practice in prenatal care. Objective: To develop and validate specialized terminology for pregnant women with syphilis, based on Roy's Adaptation Model. Method: This is a methodological study with four stages: Identification of terms through a Scooping Review, lexical analysis of the terms, cross-mapping, and term validation. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), under Opinion No. 7.518.523, as recommended by Resolution No. 466/2012. Results: The study resulted in the extraction of 6,658 occurrences of high-frequency terms, with the highest concentration in the CIPE® axes: Focus (n = 148), Action (n = 79), and Means (n = 65). Semantic equivalence analysis revealed that 55.89% of the terms were non-constant in the taxonomy, indicating the specificity of the language for the studied population. The subsequent content validation stage demonstrated high agreement among the experts: out of 641 terms evaluated, 433 were validated with a CVI ≥ 0.80 (67.55% of the total). The overall CVI mean was 0.946 and the global Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was 0.91, confirming the rigor of the subset. Statistical results indicate that clinical practice demands the use of terminology complementary to the official ICNP® taxonomy. Conclusion: The study achieved its objective by constructing and validating ICNP® specialized terminology for the care of pregnant women with syphilis. The initial lexical analysis uncovered the most frequent vocabulary of the phenomenon, highlighting terms that underscore the clinical, social, and human dimensions of care. The subsequent content validation demonstrated that the proposed terminology is scientifically rigorous and essential for bridging ICNP® gaps in assisting this population. Therefore, this subset facilitates the nurse's clinical and critical reasoning by allowing the formulation of more precise and holistic Nursing Diagnoses and Interventions, as advocated by Callista Roy's Adaptation Model. It is expected that the adoption of this specialized language will effectively contribute to improving the quality of documentation and care, positively impacting maternal-infant outcomes.
