Introducción: La malnutrición es una complicación hospitalaria asociada a mayor morbimortalidad, modi- ficable al mejorar la ingesta nutricional. Para esto es fundamental conocer la satisfacción del paciente sobre la alimentación intrahospitalaria. Actualmente, no existe una herramienta validada y adaptada a población chilena para evaluar dicha esfera. Objetivo: elaborar una adaptación transcultural del cuestionario validado ACHFPSQ, que ha demostrado ser capaz de identificar aspectos a mejorar en calidad y planificación de la alimentación intrahospitalaria y aplicar medidas correctivas a partir de sus observaciones con un impacto positivo en el servicio de alimentación. Materiales y métodos: La metodología de este proceso, aplicada en un foro interno entre los autores, se basó en una serie de traducciones desde el idioma original e inversas al español de Chile que fueron unificadas en un instrumento consenso con el cual se realizó una prueba piloto en 30 pacientes. Tras dicha prueba, se recogieron las sugerencias de los encuestados para aplicar modificaciones y un control de calidad de adaptaciones transculturales para definir la versión final del instrumento. Resultados: el foro de autores evaluó positivamente las traducciones, debiendo realizar una sola modificación aclarativa al instrumento. En la prueba piloto, un 93% requirió asistencia para completar la encuesta. Solo dos encuestados hicieron sugerencias, sin impacto en el instrumento final. Discusión y conclusión: el cuestionario se convierte en una nueva herramienta disponible para evaluar estándares de calidad de servicio y otros indicadores nutricionales, permitiendo objetivar el impacto de posibles cambios en los servicios de alimentación.
Introduction: Malnutrition is an inpatient complication associated with increased morbidity and mortality, modifiable by improving nutritional intake. For this, it is essential to know the patient's satisfaction regarding intra-hospital feeding. Currently there is no validated and adapted tool for the Chilean population to evaluate this area. Aim: to develop a cross-cultural adaptation of the validated ACHFPSQ questionnaire, which has shown to be capable of identifying aspects to improve in the quality and planning of intrahospital feeding and applying corrective measures based on its observations with a positive impact on the food service. Materials and methods: The methodology of this process, applied in an internal forum between the authors, was based on a series of translations from the original language and reverse into Chilean Spanish that were unified in a consensus instrument with which a pilot test was carried out in 30 patients. After this test, the respondents' suggestions were collected to apply modifications and a quality control for cross-cultural adaptations to define the final version of the instrument. Results: the authors' forum evaluated the translations positively, having to apply a single explanatory modification to the instrument. In the pilot test, 93% required assistance to complete the survey. Only two respondents made suggestions, with no impact on the final instrument. Discussion and conclusion: the questionnaire becomes a new tool available to evaluate service quality standards and other nutritional indicators, allowing to objectify the impact of possible changes in food services.

Abstract Objective To adapt the Scale of Perception of Respect for and Maintenance of the Dignity of the Inpatient (CuPDPH) to the Brazilian language and culture and to assess its psychometric properties. Results The scale was evaluated by 15 experts, and 239 patients from three tertiary hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. All participants signed a consent form. Data have shown adequacy of the model (KMO=0.839, Bartlett's test of sphericity: χ2(171) = 2241.3, p = 0.000010), good adjusted content validity (CVCa ≥ 0.90), internal consistency and reliability, such as α = 0.927. Discussion CuPDPH is a rating scale on observable professional attitudes. Illnesses change lives and impose adaptation to a new situation, perceived as depersonalization, leading patients to try to regain control of their lives. Patients expressed "ill will" to fill out the scale. Psychiatric patients' scale filling time was higher than others. A sample from three Rio de Janeiro third-level hospitals may not reflect the country's population; also, this adaptation may not comprise all linguistic variations of Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese-speaking countries. Conclusion The Portuguese version of the Scale of Perception of Respect for and Maintenance of the Dignity of the Inpatient (CuPDPH), a 19-item, six-component version is a reliable instrument to measure the perception of internal medicine, surgical, and psychiatric patients on the maintenance of their dignity in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This knowledge could be used in advancing research on patients' perception of dignity, as well as professional ethical competencies, staff-patient relationship skills, and leadership development in medical and other healthcare professional education.

ABSTRACT Objective: To perform a cross-cultural adaptation and assess the content validity of the Neonatal Medical Index (NMI) for the Brazilian context. Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was completed in six steps, including translation, synthesis of translations, back translation, submission to an expert committee, testing of the prefinal version, and appraisal by the original author. The expert committee assessed the equivalence between versions based on the percentage of agreement, and content validity was evaluated using the content validity index (CVI) for each item of the scale (I-CVI) and for the overall scale (S-CVI) in terms of representativeness and clarity. Participants of the prefinal version also evaluated the CVI for clarity. Results: After two evaluation rounds of the expert committee it was attained 98% agreement, attesting to the equivalence between the instrument versions, maximum values for representativeness I-CVI and S-CVI/Ave (1.00), and high values for clarity I-CVI (all items ≥0.97) and S-CVI/Ave (0.98). The expert committee members defined that the Brazilian version of the instrument would be called Índice Clínico Neonatal (NMI-Br). The NMI-Br reached high values of CVI for clarity (all I-CVI ≥0.86 and S-CVI/Ave=0.99) among the participants of the prefinal version. Conclusions: The NMI-Br is the Brazilian version of the NMI, obtained in a rigorous cross-cultural validation process, counting with adequate values of content validity.
RESUMO Objetivo: Realizar a adaptação transcultural e avaliar a validade de conteúdo do Neonatal Medical Index (NMI) para o contexto brasileiro. Métodos: A adaptação transcultural foi realizada em seis etapas, incluindo tradução, síntese das traduções, retrotradução, submissão a um comitê de especialistas, teste da versão pré-final e avaliação do autor original. O comitê de especialistas avaliou a equivalência entre as versões com base na porcentagem de concordância, e a validade de conteúdo foi avaliada por meio do índice de validade de conteúdo (IVC) para cada item da escala (I-IVC) e para a escala geral (S-IVC) em termos de representatividade e clareza. Os participantes da versão pré-final também avaliaram o IVC quanto à clareza. Resultados: Após duas rodadas de avaliação do comitê de especialistas obteve-se 98% de concordância, atestando a equivalência entre as versões do instrumento, valores máximos para representatividade I-IVC e S-IVC/Ave (1,00) e altos valores para clareza I-IVC (todos os itens ≥0,97) e S-IVC/Ave (0,98). Os membros do comitê de especialistas definiram que a versão brasileira do instrumento se chamaria Índice Clínico Neonatal (NMI-Br). O NMI-Br alcançou altos valores de IVC para clareza (todos I-IVC ≥0,86 e S-IVC/Ave=0,99) entre os participantes da versão pré-final. Conclusões: O NMI-Br é a versão brasileira do NMI, obtido em rigoroso processo de validação transcultural, contando com valores adequados de validade de conteúdo.

Abstract Objectives: Planning for the child and adolescent to have a safe handling in the epilepsy transition process is essential. In this work, the authors translated the "Readiness Checklists" and applied them to a group of patients and their respective caregivers in the transition process to assess the possibility of using them as a monitoring and instructional instrument. Methods: The "Readiness Checklists" were applied to thirty adolescents with epilepsy and their caregivers. The original English version of this instrument underwent a process of translation and cultural adaptation by a translator with knowledge of English and epilepsy. Subsequently, it was carried out the back-translation and the Portuguese version was compared to the original, analyzing discrepancies, thus obtaining the final version for the Brazilian population. Results: Participants were able to answer the questions. In four questions there was an association between the teenagers' educational level and the response pattern to the questionnaires. The authors found a strong positive correlation between the responses of adolescents and caregivers (RhoSpearman = 0.837; p < 0.001). The application of the questionnaire by the health team was feasible for all interviewed patients and their respective caregivers. Conclusion: The translation and application of the "Readiness Checklists" is feasible in Portuguese. Patients with lower educational levels felt less prepared for the transition than patients with higher educational levels, independently of age. Adolescents and caregivers showed similar perceptions regarding patients' abilities. The lists can be very useful tools to assess and plan the follow-up of the population of patients with epilepsy in the process of transition.

Abstract Objective Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious and extremely prevalent mental disorder. Early diagnosis is vital for treatment. However, there are no specific screening instruments validated for Brazilian Portuguese. This study aimed to adapt the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD) to the Brazilian context. The MSI-BPD is a self-report instrument based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), that enables fast and reliable assessment of BPD, with measures of sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) similar to the diagnostic interview for the DSM-5 (Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V Axis II Disorders [SCID-II]), taken as the gold standard. Methods Two independent translations, a synthesis version, back-translation, and analysis by experts were employed to create the final version of the instrument in Brazilian Portuguese. The translated instrument was administered to 1,702 adults aged 18-59 years to verify evidence of validity relating to content, internal structure, relationship with other variables, and reliability. Results The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses show that the one-factor structure is adequate. The scale showed satisfactory internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson coefficient [KR-20] of Cronbach's alpha = 0.691) and good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.802). Logistic regression analysis using the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5-Brief Form (PID-5-BF) (DSM-5) as reference established an ideal cut-off point of eight symptoms, with adequate SN (0.79) and SP (0.75), similar to the original instrument. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.830 (95% confidence interval: 0.802-0.858), with a positive predictive value of 89.2%. Conclusion The Brazilian version of the MSI-BPD has adequate psychometric properties for use as a BPD screening tool by clinicians.

Abstract Introduction The Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM) was developed to measure individual differences in social comparison orientation and has been widely used in research and various different settings. Objectives The aim of this study was to adapt the online version of the INCOM and to evaluate its psychometric parameters when applied to a Brazilian population of university students. Methods The procedures were divided into two steps: step 1 - cross-cultural adaptation and analysis of content validity, and step 2 - assessment of psychometric characteristics. Step 1 comprised the processes of translation, evaluation by an expert committee, evaluation by the target population, and back-translation. For step 2, 1,065 university students were recruited and then factor analysis, analysis of reliability, and analysis of validity based on external measures were performed. Results The adaptation process yielded satisfactory results, including good indicators of content validity. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-dimensional structure and adequate factor loadings, except for item 11, which was excluded from the final version. Additionally, the final version of the scale had adequate fit indices (χ2 = 148.45, degrees of freedom [df] = 26; p < 0.001; root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.06; comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.99; and Tucker-Lewis index [TLI] = 0.98). Evidence of reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.83) was observed and there were positive correlations with negative affect (r = 0.36) and negative correlations with positive affect and self-esteem (r = -0.15; r = -0.41, respectively). Conclusion The Brazilian version of the INCOM presents satisfactory psychometric parameters and can thus be used to measure social comparison orientation.

Introdução: As doenças valvares representam a segunda maior indicação de intervenções cirúrgicas cardíacas no Brasil e no mundo. Nesse sentido, a avaliação da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) após a correção cirúrgica de valvopatias, por meio de instrumentos de medidas em saúde específicos e válidos para este público, tem se tornado emergente na prática clínica, com vistas à avaliação do referido construto. Durante a revisão de literatura, encontramos o Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire - HeartQoL, validado em diversos países e em distintos idiomas, todavia, o mesmo não foi adaptado para o português falado no Brasil com esta população específica. Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi realizar a adaptação transcultural e analisar as propriedades psicométricas do HeartQoL com indivíduos brasileiros submetidos à correção cirúrgica de valvopatias. Método: Trata-se de estudo metodológico, apreciado pelos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa das instituições envolvidas. O processo de adaptação transcultural foi realizado conforme o referencial teórico adotado. As amostras consecutivas e não probabilísticas foram constituídas, nas três etapas, por pacientes atendidos no Ambulatório de Valvopatias do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre 2022 e 2023, por meio de entrevistas, com 30 pacientes, para a análise semântica do questionário, com outros 30 pacientes, para a realização do pré-teste, e com 140 pacientes, para avaliação das propriedades psicométricas. A validade de construto foi realizada por meio da correlação de Spearman entre o escore global e os domínios do HeartQoL, com os componentes físico e mental do Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). A validade estrutural, ou dimensionalidade, foi realizada pela análise fatorial confirmatória, e a avaliação da confiabilidade, por meio do coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, para a verificação da consistência interna. Para as análises, foi adotado o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A versão adaptada para o português falado no Brasil apresentou-se equivalente à versão original em inglês do questionário. Apresentou evidências de validade de conteúdo a partir da avaliação do comitê de juízes e do pré-teste na amostra elegível para essa etapa. Além disso, apresentou evidências de validade de construto convergente, com correlações positivas e de forte magnitude entre o domínios físico do HeartQoL e o componente físico do SF-36, e entre o domínio emocional do HeartQoL e o componente mental do SF-36. Também apresentou evidências de validade estrutural a partir da confirmação do modelo estrutural com 14 itens e dois domínios e com índices de ajustes satisfatórios (x2 = 118,85; g.l. = 76; p = 0,0012; RMSEA = 0,0635; SRMR = 0,0440; CFI = 0,9604; TLI = 0,9526). Apresentou evidência de confiabilidade a partir do coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, com valores satisfatórios na avaliação global (α = 0,93) e na avaliação por domínio (físico: α = 0,92; emocional: α = 0,83). Conclusão: O questionário está adaptado culturalmente para o português falado no Brasil, e possui evidências de validade e de confiabilidade comparáveis à versão original quando testadas em pacientes após a correção cirúrgica de valvopatias.
Introduction: Valve diseases represent the second major indication for cardiac surgery in Brazil and worldwide. In this regard, the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after valve surgery repair, through specific and valid health measurement instruments for this public, has become emerging in clinical practice, with a view to assessing the said construct. During the literature review, we found the Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire - HeartQoL, validated in several countries and in different languages, however, it was not adapted to Brazilian Portuguese with this specific population. Objective: The study aimed to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and analyze the psychometric properties of HeartQoL with Brazilian individuals undergoing valve surgery repair. Method: This is a methodological study, assessed by the Research Ethics Committees of the institutions involved. The cross-cultural adaptation process was carried out according to the adopted theoretical framework. Consecutive and non-probabilistic samples were constituted, in the three stages, by patients assisted at the Valvopathies Ambulatory of the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo. Data collection took place between 2022 and 2023, through interviews, with 30 patients, for the semantic analysis of the questionnaire, with another 30 patients, for the pre-test, and with 140 patients, for assessing psychometric properties. Construct validity was performed using Spearman's correlation between the global score and the HeartQoL domains, with the physical and mental components of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Structural validity, or dimensionality, was performed using confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient to verify internal consistency. For the analyses, a significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: The adapted version for Brazilian Portuguese was equivalent to the original English version of the questionnaire. It presented evidence of content validity based on assessment by committee of judges and the pre-test in the sample eligible for this stage. Moreover, it presented evidence of convergent construct validity with positive and strong correlations between the HeartQoL physical domains and the SF-36 physical component, and between the HeartQoL emotional domain and the SF-36 mental component. It also presented evidence of structural validity from the confirmation of the structural model with 14 items and two domains and with satisfactory adjustment indices (x2 = 118.85; g.l. = 76; p = 0.0012; RMSEA = 0.0635; SRMR = 0.0440; CFI = 0.9604; TLI = 0.9526). It showed evidence of reliability based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient, with satisfactory values in the global assessment (α = 0.93) and in the assessment by domain (physical: α = 0.92; emotional: α = 0.83). Conclusion: The questionnaire is culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese, and has evidence of validity and reliability comparable to the original version when tested in patients after valve surgery repair.

Introduction@#Telemedicine services have steadily been relied upon since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding its usability and contextual performance is of paramount importance if it were to pervade the local health delivery system. Hence, a tool to assess usability is warranted. @*Objective@#The study aims to adapt a reliable and validated instrument in English to Filipino, the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ), on evaluating the usability of telemedicine services in the Philippines. @*Methodology@#The research is a translation and validation study. The methodology includes forward translation in collaboration with our UST Sentro sa Salin at Araling Salin and expert panel review with five experts using the telehealth system. It was followed by pretesting (pilot testing and cognitive debriefing) of the pre-final tool to 30 family medicine telehealth patients and field testing of the final instrument to 85 telehealth patients from USTH. Appropriate statistical methods for assessment included internal consistency, content validity and linguistic with conceptual equivalence. @*Results@#All translated items were retained, but through the focus group discussion, several statements were modified to fit the cultural context. Each item and the overall tool showed excellent validity and internal consistency. The mean difference scores for each item and domain were less than ±0.25. Tests of equivalence showed that majority of items and each domain were not statistically different (p>0.05), suggesting that both questionnaires are similar and homogenous. Furthermore, the Bland-Altman plots for each dimension/domain are within the upper and lower boundaries indicating agreement between the two versions. @*Conclusion@#TUQ-Filipino is a valid and appropriate instrument to assess telehealth usability in the local setting.

Under the background of internationalization of medical education in China, the general medical education for foreign students started relatively late. At present, there are still some problems in it, such as imperfect curriculum system, lack of unified and standardized textbooks, inadequate language skills of community teachers, difficulties in carrying out practical courses, and cultural differences. Based on the current situation of general practice education for international students in China, this article proposes the following solutions: to insist on standardizing quality management and construct scientific training schemes; to understand the present situation of primary medical and health services in their country of origin, promote cultural integration, and actively explore the fit between training and demand; to write bilingual textbooks suitable for practical needs; to overcome language barriers and build a team of community teachers that speak English; to adopt flexible and diversified teaching modes and comprehensively improve the quality of general practice teaching for international students, so as to promote the communication and dissemination of basic medical and health concepts in China.

@#Introduction: A stroke can have devastating consequences and may reduce the Quality of Life (QoL) of stroke survivors. Specific QoL measurement is therefore needed to appreciate and quantify the impact of this condition. The objective of the study is to culturally adapt, translate and validate the Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and Tamil versions of the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) 3.0 for its application in clinical practice and stroke research in Malaysia. Methods: A total of nine translators translated the SIS 3.0 and five professional experts carried out the linguistic validation of the SIS 3.0 in accordance with the Mapi Research Institute’s linguistic validation guideline. The steps for linguistic validation included forward translation, synthesis, backward translation, clinicians’ review, and cognitive debriefing. Ten to thirteen healthcare practitioners rated the translated versions of SIS 3.0 using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR). Results: During the translation processes, concerns were expressed about various grammatical and semantic issues, such as the appropriateness of some phrases used for the Malaysian demographic. The Scale-CVI average was 0.91 and 0.95 for relevance and clarity respectively which indicated excellent content validity. The CVR values ranged from 0.40 to 1.00. Conclusion: The Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and Tamil versions of SIS 3.0 was well developed. The translated versions of SIS 3.0 could be adopted in clinical, community and educational settings. Nevertheless, further in-depth psychometric testing including construct validity and reliability on a larger sample among the multi-ethic Malaysians stroke survivors is advised.

Introdução: As doenças valvares representam a segunda maior indicação de intervenções cirúrgicas cardíacas no Brasil e no mundo. Nesse sentido, a avaliação da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) após a correção cirúrgica de valvopatias, por meio de instrumentos de medidas em saúde específicos e válidos para este público, tem se tornado emergente na prática clínica, com vistas à avaliação do referido construto. Durante a revisão de literatura, encontramos o Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire - HeartQoL, validado em diversos países e em distintos idiomas, todavia, o mesmo não foi adaptado para o português falado no Brasil com esta população específica. Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi realizar a adaptação transcultural e analisar as propriedades psicométricas do HeartQoL com indivíduos brasileiros submetidos à correção cirúrgica de valvopatias. Método: Trata-se de estudo metodológico, apreciado pelos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa das instituições envolvidas. O processo de adaptação transcultural foi realizado conforme o referencial teórico adotado. As amostras consecutivas e não probabilísticas foram constituídas, nas três etapas, por pacientes atendidos no Ambulatório de Valvopatias do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre 2022 e 2023, por meio de entrevistas, com 30 pacientes, para a análise semântica do questionário, com outros 30 pacientes, para a realização do pré-teste, e com 140 pacientes, para avaliação das propriedades psicométricas. A validade de construto foi realizada por meio da correlação de Spearman entre o escore global e os domínios do HeartQoL, com os componentes físico e mental do Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). A validade estrutural, ou dimensionalidade, foi realizada pela análise fatorial confirmatória, e a avaliação da confiabilidade, por meio do coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, para a verificação da consistência interna. Para as análises, foi adotado o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A versão adaptada para o português falado no Brasil apresentou-se equivalente à versão original em inglês do questionário. Apresentou evidências de validade de conteúdo a partir da avaliação do comitê de juízes e do pré-teste na amostra elegível para essa etapa. Além disso, apresentou evidências de validade de construto convergente, com correlações positivas e de forte magnitude entre o domínios físico do HeartQoL e o componente físico do SF-36, e entre o domínio emocional do HeartQoL e o componente mental do SF-36. Também apresentou evidências de validade estrutural a partir da confirmação do modelo estrutural com 14 itens e dois domínios e com índices de ajustes satisfatórios (x2 = 118,85; g.l. = 76; p = 0,0012; RMSEA = 0,0635; SRMR = 0,0440; CFI = 0,9604; TLI = 0,9526). Apresentou evidência de confiabilidade a partir do coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, com valores satisfatórios na avaliação global (α = 0,93) e na avaliação por domínio (físico: α = 0,92; emocional: α = 0,83). Conclusão: O questionário está adaptado culturalmente para o português falado no Brasil, e possui evidências de validade e de confiabilidade comparáveis à versão original quando testadas em pacientes após a correção cirúrgica de valvopatias.
Introduction: Valve diseases represent the second major indication for cardiac surgery in Brazil and worldwide. In this regard, the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after valve surgery repair, through specific and valid health measurement instruments for this public, has become emerging in clinical practice, with a view to assessing the said construct. During the literature review, we found the Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire - HeartQoL, validated in several countries and in different languages, however, it was not adapted to Brazilian Portuguese with this specific population. Objective: The study aimed to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and analyze the psychometric properties of HeartQoL with Brazilian individuals undergoing valve surgery repair. Method: This is a methodological study, assessed by the Research Ethics Committees of the institutions involved. The cross-cultural adaptation process was carried out according to the adopted theoretical framework. Consecutive and non-probabilistic samples were constituted, in the three stages, by patients assisted at the Valvopathies Ambulatory of the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo. Data collection took place between 2022 and 2023, through interviews, with 30 patients, for the semantic analysis of the questionnaire, with another 30 patients, for the pre-test, and with 140 patients, for assessing psychometric properties. Construct validity was performed using Spearman's correlation between the global score and the HeartQoL domains, with the physical and mental components of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Structural validity, or dimensionality, was performed using confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient to verify internal consistency. For the analyses, a significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: The adapted version for Brazilian Portuguese was equivalent to the original English version of the questionnaire. It presented evidence of content validity based on assessment by committee of judges and the pre-test in the sample eligible for this stage. Moreover, it presented evidence of convergent construct validity with positive and strong correlations between the HeartQoL physical domains and the SF-36 physical component, and between the HeartQoL emotional domain and the SF-36 mental component. It also presented evidence of structural validity from the confirmation of the structural model with 14 items and two domains and with satisfactory adjustment indices (x2 = 118.85; g.l. = 76; p = 0.0012; RMSEA = 0.0635; SRMR = 0.0440; CFI = 0.9604; TLI = 0.9526). It showed evidence of reliability based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient, with satisfactory values in the global assessment (α = 0.93) and in the assessment by domain (physical: α = 0.92; emotional: α = 0.83). Conclusion: The questionnaire is culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese, and has evidence of validity and reliability comparable to the original version when tested in patients after valve surgery repair.

Abstract Introduction There is growing interest in the fields of psychiatry and psychology in investigating the relationship between personality and psychopathology. The Big-5 is a model developed to investigate five personality dimensions: Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. In the present study, we describe the process of translation into Brazilian Portuguese and adaptation of a free tool to evaluate the Big-5 model: The Big-5 Inventory (BFI). The instrument has 44 items with a Likert response scale ranging from 1 to 5. Objectives To translate and adapt the BFI into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The adaptation was conducted in the following steps: 1) Translation, 2) Evaluation Committee, 3) Back-translation, 4) Pilot study, 5) Evaluation Committee, and 6) Application. The sample comprised 490 participants from various regions of Brazil. The participants' ages ranged from 18 to 71 years, most of them had completed high school (62.9%), and the majority were women (75%). Results A model with the following fit indexes was found: χ2/df: 1.954; goodness fit index (GFI): 0.924; comparative fit index (CFI): 0.920; and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA): 0.044. Conclusion The results are suggestive that the Brazilian version of this instrument has good psychometric properties and represent a cost-free option for investigating associations with the Big-5 in psychiatry.

Abstract Objectives To propose a Portuguese version of the Objective and Subjective Knowledge and HIV Testing Scale (OSK-HIV-TS), assess its content validity, and perform item analysis after administration to a sample of undergraduate students. Methods Three translators translated the OSK-HIV-TS into Portuguese. Judges evaluated each item of a consensus version of the translated instrument for semantic, idiomatic, cultural, and conceptual equivalence. A consensus committee reviewed a back-translation against the original version of the OSK-HIV-TS. Content validity was calculated with the content validity index (CVI) and item analysis was conducted using Classical Test Theory (CTT). Results The translated scale achieved semantic, idiomatic, conceptual, and cultural equivalence to the original version. A total of 491 undergraduate students participated and the distribution of students' responses to the OSK-HIV-TS revealed a high proportion of correct answers. All items were classified as easy or very easy and only item 16 was classified having strong discrimination power according to the discrimination index. Conclusion The OSK-HIV-TS is a novel instrument in the Brazilian literature for assessing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) knowledge and should inspire more research into HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) behavior and associated factors, which, despite being essential and necessary, is still lacking in the Brazilian literature.

O presente estudo buscou adaptar a Escala de Orientação à Dominância Social (SDO7) para o contexto brasileiro, propor uma versão reduzida do instrumento, avaliar sua estrutura fatorial e evidências de validade entre grupos. Para tanto, realizou-se coleta de dados on-line em que participaram 1.056 indivíduos de quatro diferentes amostras. Análises fatoriais confirmatórias indicaram os melhores índices de ajuste para a estrutura original de quatro fatores, sendo dois substanciais (Dominância e Anti-Igualitarismo) e dois de método (pró-traço e contra-traço). Os fatores substanciais, denominados "Dominância Social" e "Anti-Igualitarismo", apresentaram alfa de Cronbach superior a 0,70 em todas as amostras. As versões longa e reduzida da escala apresentaram bons índices de validade de critério entre grupos com correlações altas entre os escores dos fatores substanciais e a autocategorização política. Portanto, o instrumento apresentou evidências de validade e fidedignidade e podem ser utilizados em estudos futuros. (AU)
This study aims to cross-culturally adapt the Social Dominance Orientation Scale (SDO7) for the Brazilian context, propose a reduced version of the instrument, and assess its factor structure and validity evidences. Participants included 1,056 individuals across four different samples collected online. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated the best fit indices for the original four-factor structure, two substantial (Dominance x Anti-Egalitarianism) and two methodological (pro-trait x counter-trait). The substantial factors had Cronbach's alpha values above 0.70 in all samples. Furthermore, both the long and reduced versions of the scale were highly correlated with political self-categorization. Hence, the instrument in its long and reduced versions showed good validity and reliability evidences for the Brazilian context and can be used in future studies. (AU)

ABSTRACT@#Most prior oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) research concerning temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) had utilised generic OHRQoL measures. This study aimed to translate and validate the Malay version of Oral Health Impact Profile for TMDs (OHIP-TMDs), a TMDs-specific OHRQoL tool, for use in Malay literate populations. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the OHIP-TMDs into the Malay language were implemented according to the international guidelines. A convenience sample of 243 subjects completed the Malay OHIP-TMDs (OHIP-TMDs-M) as well as the Malay Short Oral Health Impact Profile (S-OHIP-M), Global Oral Health ratings (GOH-M) and Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI-M). The OHIP-TMDs-M was re-administered to a subset of 40 subjects after two weeks for test-retest reliability. Concurrent, convergent and discriminative validity were assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation, Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests with significance level set at p < 0.05. The OHIP-TMDs-M was found to have excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.98) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.99, p < 0.001). A strong and positive correlation with S-OHIP-M (rs = 0.74) was observed, and OHIP-TMDs-M scores differed significantly between subjects with disparate GOH-M ratings (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the OHIP-TMDs-M was able to discriminate between subjects with and without TMDs. The OHIP-TMDs-M was found to have excellent reliability and good validity. It is a promising tool for assessing TMDs-specific OHRQoL in Malay literate populations.
