Background: The construction of data collection tools for the nursing appointment should be based on the characteristics and specificities of the population and place of employment. Objective: To validate the appearance and content of the data collection tool for the nursing appointment of the person with diabetes mellitus and/or systemic hypertension within the context of primary health care (PHC). Methodology: A methodological study was developed by means of the Delphi method from April to September of 2016, with 30 nurses from the PHC practice and teaching. The tool was based on the conceptual model by Wanda Horta and the Theory of Self-Care by Dorothea Orem, composed of 6 dimensions: Identification, Psychosocial, Psychospiritual, Psychobiological needs, and Disease perception and Self-care, subdivided into 25 categories. For analysis purposes, the Content Validity Index (CVI) = 0.80 was used. Results: All categories of the instrument’s dimensions obtained a CVI = 0.80, with emphasis on the dimensions of Psychosocial and Psychospiritual needs. Conclusion: The tool was confirmed valid in appearance and content for data collection in the nursing appointment.
