Method: The study was developed in two stages. Initially the body posture of students of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th periods were assessed through photogrammetry.
Purpose: To analyze the knowledge related to the use of the Rasch model in validation of nursing diagnoses.
Methods: Integrative literature review with search in LILACS, PUBMED, CINAHL, and SCOPUS.
