[Transcultural adaptation of AGRASS questionnaire to evaluate the management of heathcare risks]. / Adaptación transcultural del Questionário AGRASS para evaluar la gestión de riesgos asistenciales.

OBJECTIVE: To cross-culturally adapt the Questionário AGRASS for evaluation of healthcare risk management in health services. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The work was carried out following 5 stages: 1) initial translation to Spanish; 2) Synthesis; 3) translation back to Portuguese; 4) experts review, and 5) pretest performed in a specialized Costa Rican hospital. RESULTS: The AGRASS Questionnaire translated and adapted into Spanish has the same dimensional structure as the original, with 2 dimensions and 9 subdimensions. Thirty-nine of the 40 original items were approved (general validation index=100% per item). Its application was considered viable, with items well understood and with useful results that identify opportunities for improvement in healthcare risk management. CONCLUSIONS: The AGRASS Questionnaire is culturally adapted to the Costa Rican reality and future studies can evaluate its contribution to other hospital contexts in Ibero-American countries.
