Purpose: To develop and validate the content of the components of the auriculotherapy nursing intervention.
Methods: This descriptive and methodological study was carried out in three steps: an integrative literature review, with a diagnosis of the state of the art and a basis for the study; development of the nursing intervention based on the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) and validation by the Kappa Index (k = ≥0.61) and the content validity index (CVI ≥ 0.80). The experts were recruited using the snowball method, who met the inclusion criteria: being a nurse, having completed an auriculotherapy course, having clinical experience with auriculotherapy, and having used the NICs in clinical practice for at least 1 year. The instrument for validation was sent via Google Forms in April 2022.
Results: The title, definition, and 11 activities of the new nursing intervention with Kappa and CVI indexes accepted for content validity were validated.
Conclusions: The content validation of the nursing intervention was fundamental for the suitability of its components, allowing it to be refined.
Implications For Nursing Practice: The contribution of the study consists of the possible inclusion of this intervention in the NIC, favoring the use of standardized language in the clinical practice of auriculotherapy.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) among students at a Spanish university, assess the impact of these conditions on quality of life, and analyze the relationship among lifestyle habits, dysmenorrhea, and PMS.
