Abstract

Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the knowledge of nursing professionals working in Primary Healthcare regarding the need to validate automatic sphygmomanometers. Materials and Methods: Field research, descriptive, methodological, with a quantitative approach. A convenience sampling was used, and it was composed of nursing professionals who worked in Basic Health Units and the Family Health Strategy Unit in Sorocaba (SP). Semi-structured interviews were carried out using the “Google Forms®” tool. Results: 31 nursing professionals participated, aged between 23 and 59 years, with a mean age of 41.9 and a standard deviation of 9.9 years, 93.5% female, and 80.6% with higher education and/or postgraduate education. It was found that 77.4% used an automatic sphygmomanometer regularly, 45.8% received some type of guidance regarding its use, and 75.0% of them chose it because of its practicality/ease. Regarding the concept of validating these devices, 71.0% were unaware, and only one participant (3.2%) was able to indicate a scientific validation entity. Conclusions: Even though the use of automatic sphygmomanometers has increased considerably, it is noticed that the people who use them do not have adequate knowledge about validation, which directly interferes with the accurate and reliable measurement of blood pressure. The research revealed a gap in the knowledge of nursing professionals. Therefore, it emphasizes the need to invest in educational actions for all health professionals who use these devices to promote a more efficient and qualified practice for patients.
