Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have brought meaningful changes to the health care processes all over the world, their potential benefits are relevant to patients and health professionals. Nursing leaders and managers must acquire knowledge and skills in IT in order to fulfill a leadership role and make decisions in the clinical practice. Despite this rising necessity, there is still a gap in Brazil related to IT skills, specifically for nursing leaders and managers. Considering this scenario, this work, a survey type descriptive research with a quantitative approach, aimed to validate a list of skills in IT required of leader and/or manager nurses in Brazil. To validate this study the Delphi technique was used over a total of three rounds, from July 2016 until January 2017. The experts group was formed by 68 Brazilian nurses with scientific production in the field of IT in nursing; active researchers in the CNPq Research Group in a line of research related to IT or technologies in Nursing; linked to higher education; masters degree at least and a minimum of 6 months experience in the area. A list with 92 competences from Westra and Delaney (2008) was adapted and worked on as a base to build the questionnaire sent to the experts’ emails. The list of competences was evaluated considering their relevance to the Brazilian context through a Likert scale (1- not required, 2- slightly required, 3- moderately required, 4- strongly required). The data was analyzed through descriptive statistics using Graphpad Prism 5.0 software and presented through boxplot with minimum, maximum, first and third quartile and median for each competence and round, with the objective of achieving an agreement of 75% or more. In the first round, out of the 68 possible participants identified in the CNPQ Research Group Directory, 32 agreed to participate in the research, however only 18 effectively answered the questionnaire. From the 92 analyzed competences, there were 49 inclusion agreement (53,3%), 01 exclusion agreement (1,1%) and 42 (45,6%) no agreement. In the second round 17 questionnaires were returned (94,4%), out of the 42 evaluated competences, there were 23 (54.8%) inclusion agreement, 04 (9,5%) exclusion agreement and 15 (35,7%) went to a tird round as there was no agreement. In the third round, 17 (94,4%) questionnaires returned. Out of the 15 competences judged by the experts, there were 06 (40%) inclusion agreement, 08 (53,3%) exclusion agreement and 01(6,7%) no agreements. At the end of the three rounds, 78 (84,8%) competences were consensually agreed. Thus, the results of this research allowed adaptation and validation of a list of IT competences required of nurse leaders and/or managers in the Brazilian context. Through this study it was possible to outline the profile of required competences of the Brazilian nursing managers, so a big step forward is expected in terms of nursing IT.
