Resumo: A means of measurement, the application of which is similar to that of the first stages of the Thurstone scale, using the method of apparently equal intervals and based on Stephenson's Q-technique, was elaborated, By using this tool it was planned to carry out a study on the function perception of the public health educator on the health team. The study comprises two phases: the first dealing with the construction of the instrument it self and the second with the making of a research survey, using the same. It is described every step of the first phase which consists of: gathering of information on the function assigned to the public health educator; list of the functions; turning them into statements transcribed into cards; selection of a sample of 70 cards, by a highly specialized board of judges; tabulation of the data obtained and definition of the definitive instrument. To fulfil the requisites of validity the scaling distribution should present a certain balance among the pertinent, intermediate, and non-pertinent statements. For statistical convenience and to guarantee such a balance each judge is told to place varying numbers of cards on several piles, turning its totality into a continuum approaching a normal or nearly normal distribution. Such a balance has been attained and a distribution of the frequency statements sampled by the judges has shown an excellent internal agreement which qualifies this study as satisfactory. The statements have been proved to be definitive components of the measuring tool - Percepção da Função do Educador na Saúde Pública (Perception of the Function of the Educator in Public Health).

Foi elaborado um instrumento de medida baseado na Técnica Q de W. Stephenson, cujas operações exigidas são semelhantes às primeiras etapas de construção de uma Escala Thurstone, pelo método de intervalos aparentemente iguais. Utilizando-se desse instrumento, foi realizado estudo sobre a "Percepção da Função do Educador de Saúde Pública, na Equipe de Saúde", desenvolvido em duas fases: a primeira, compreendendo a construção do Instrumento, propriamente dito, e a segunda, a execução de uma pesquisa exploratória fazendo uso do referido instrumento. São descritos todos os passos da primeira fase, que compreende: a coleta de informações sobre as atribuições da função do educador de saúde pública; listagem das mesmas, convertendo-as em afirmações transcritas em cartões: seleção de uma amostra de 70 cartões, por um corpo de juizes altamente especializado; tabulação dos dados obtidos e a definição do instrumento definitivo. Para preencher os requisitos de validade, a distribuição escalar deveria apresentar um certo equilíbrio entre as afirmações não pertinentes, intermediárias e pertinentes. Para a conveniência estatística e para garantir este equilíbrio, cada juiz foi instruído a colocar números variados de cartões em várias pilhas, fazendo de sua totalidade um continuum que se aproximasse de uma distribuição normal ou quase normal. Este equilíbrio foi alcançado e a distribuição de freqüência das afirmações amostradas pelos juizes demonstrou ótima concordância interna, o que permitiu considerar satisfatório este estudo. As 70 afirmações foram confirmadas como componentes definitivo do instrumento de medida PF-ESP-Percepção da Função do Educador de Saúde Pública, para a utilização na segunda fase desse estudo.
