ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Vestibular Activities and Participation Measure (VAP) subscales assess the effect of vestibular disorders on activity and participation. This study aimed to perform the cross-cultural adaptation and assess the validity, internal consistency, reliability, and measurement error of the Brazilian version of VAP subscales. METHODS: The cross-cultural adaptation followed the translation, synthesis, back-translation, review by a committee of experts, and pretesting phases. Structural validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while Spearman's correlation between VAP subscales and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) was used to assess construct validity. Cronbach's alpha measured internal consistency. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) assessed intra- and inter-rater reliability, and measurement error was calculated by using the standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC). RESULTS: Additional information was included in the Brazilian version of the Vestibular Activities and Participation measure (VAP-BR) after approval by one of the developers of the instrument to improve the understanding among individuals. One factor was found in the EFA for each subscale with 50% explained variance. Regarding CFA, the subscales 1 (S1) and 2 (S2) presented, respectively, adequate model fit indices (ie, comparative fit index of 0.99 and 0.97, and standardized root mean square residual of 0.04 for both subscales), but a very low factor load in item 6 of S1 (0.08). Chronbach's alpha was 0.80 (S1) and 0.82 (S2). For intra-rater assessment, the S1 and S2 presented an ICC of 0.87 and 0.90, SEM of 0.01 and 1.16, and MDC of 0.39 and 0.46, respectively. When assessed by 2 different raters, SEM values were 1.03 and 1.53, and MDC values were 2.85 and 4.23 for S1 and S2, respectively; both subscales showed an ICC of 0.92. Correlations between DHI and VAP subscales presented coefficients above 0.57. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of VAP subscales presents good measurement properties and may assist health professionals in identifying activity limitations and participation restrictions in individuals with vestibular disorders.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the content validity evidence of the nursing outcome "sexual functioning" from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS: A multi-method study, including a methodological study analyzing the content validity evidence of the NOC outcome and sexual functioning, and a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study. In the first phase, a literature review was conducted to map and identify clinical indicators associated with sexual functioning to construct the conceptual (CD) and operational definitions (ODs) of each outcome indicator. In the second phase, experts assessed the CD and OD for clarity, theoretical relevance, and theoretical pertinence. The critical validity ratio (CVR) was calculated for each indicator. In the third phase, a pilot test of sexual functioning measurement was conducted with 33 patients hospitalized for coronary artery disease. Internal consistency was calculated through Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS: The CD and OD were constructed based on 120 articles and analyzed by 13 experts; four rounds were required to achieve the critical CVR in each phase. In the pilot test, the nursing outcome achieved a Cronbach's alpha of 0.95, and the mean assessment time was 26 min. Indicators with the highest mean scores were related to knowledge of personal needs and capabilities and comfort with one's own body. CONCLUSION: The CD and OD developed for the NOC outcome, sexual functioning, had adequate evidence of content validity. The outcome content has high internal consistency. Further studies on the validity of the nursing outcome should be conducted to increase its validity. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The nursing outcome, sexual functioning, can be a tool used by nurses to evaluate the effect of nursing education and interventions on sexual functioning in the adult population.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The Pediatric Asthma Severity Score (PASS) is one of the most-used clinical scoring systems for assessing the severity of asthma exacerbations in children. The aim of the present study was to validate a Spanish version of the PASS in a population of Hispanic children with asthma exacerbations living in urban Bogota, Colombia. METHODS: In a prospective cohort and a validation study, parents/caregivers of children between 2 and 18 years old attended in the emergency department (ED) with asthma exacerbations who were admitted to the inpatient unit were invited to participate in the study. During the hospitalization period, we gathered the necessary data for assessing the criterion validity (comparing its score with the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure [PRAM]), construct validity, interrater reliability, responsiveness, and internal consistency of the Col-PASS, the Colombian version of the PASS. RESULTS: At baseline, the scores of the Col-PASS correlated positively with the scores of the PRAM score (ρ = 0.588, p < .001). The baseline Col-PASS scores in patients who required admission to a more complex service were significantly higher than those in patients who presented clinical improvement (1.0 (0.0-2.0) vs. 0.0 (0.0-0.0), p < .001). The interrater reliability was found to be κ = 0.897, 95% CI 0.699-1.000, p < .001. Cronbach's α was .701 for the questionnaire as a whole. CONCLUSION: The Col-PASS has excellent construct validity, adequate criterion validity, interrater reliability, responsiveness; and acceptable internal consistency when used in children between 2 and 18 years old with asthma exacerbations.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: External validation of the 4C and NEWS2 scores for the prediction of in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients, and evaluation of its operational performance in two time periods: before and after the start of the vaccination program in Colombia. METHODS: Retrospective cohort in three high complexity hospitals in the city of Medellín, Colombia, between June 2020 and April 2022. RESULTS: The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) for the 4C mortality risk score and the NEWS2 were 0.75 (95% CI 0.73-0.78) and 0.68 (95% CI 0.66-0.71), respectively. For the 4C score, the AUC for the first and second periods was 0.77 (95% CI 0.74-0.80) and 0.75 (95% CI 0.71-0.78); whilst for the NEWS2 score, it was 0.68 (95% CI 0.65-0.71) and 0.69 (95% CI 0.64-0.73). The calibration for both scores was adequate, albeit with reduced performance during the second period. CONCLUSIONS: The 4C mortality risk score proved to be the more adequate predictor of in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients in this Latin American population. The operational performance during both time periods remained similar, which shows its utility notwithstanding major changes, including vaccination, as the pandemic evolved.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: durante las últimas dos décadas, el concepto de capital social se ha utilizado con creciente frecuencia en las ciencias de la salud debido a las relaciones directas e indirectas entre el capital social y la salud física y mental de las poblaciones. Por tanto, es necesario construir un instrumento para cuantificar este concepto con seguridad y confiabilidad. Objetivo: analizar la consistencia interna y dimensionalidad de una escala de siete ítems para medir el capital social en adultos de la población general de Colombia. Metodología: se realizó un estudio de validación en línea, que incluyó una muestra de 700 adultos de entre 18 y 76 años, el 68 % eran mujeres. Los participantes completaron una escala de siete ítems llamada Escala de Capital Social Cognitivo (ECSC). El alfa de Cronbach y el omega de McDonald se calcularon para probar la consistencia interna. Se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios para explorar la dimensionalidad de la ECSC. Resultados: la ECSC presentó una consistencia interna baja (alfa de Cronbach de 0,56 y omega de McDonald de 0,59) y pobre dimensionalidad. Seguidamente, se probó una versión de cinco ítems (ECSC-5). La ECSC-5 mostró una alta consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach de 0,79 y omega de McDonald de 0,80) y una estructura unidimensional con indicadores de bondad de ajuste aceptables. Discusión: la ECSC-5 presenta alta consistencia interna y una estructura unidimensional para medir el capital cognitivo social en adultos colombianos. Se recomienda la ECSC-5 para la medición del capital social en la población general colombiana. Futuras investigaciones deben corroborar estos hallazgos en aplicaciones de lápiz y papel y explorar otros indicadores de confiabilidad y validez.


Introduction: During the last two decades, the concept of social capital has been used increasingly frequently in health sciences due to the direct and indirect relationships between social capital and populations' physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to build an instrument to quantify this concept confidently and reliably. Objective: The study aimed to internal consistency and dimensionality of a seven-item scale to measure social capital in Colombia's general population of adults. Methods: An online validation study included a sample of 700 adults aged between 18 and 76 years; 68% were females. Participants completed a seven-item scale called the Cognitive Social Capital Scale (CSCS). Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega were computed to test internal consistency. The authors explore the internal consistency and dimensionality of the CSCS. Results: The CSCS presented a low internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.56 and McDonald's omega of 0.59) and poor dimensionality. Then, the researchers tested a five-item version (CSCS-5). The CSCS-5 showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.79 and McDonald's omega of 0.80) and a one-dimension structure with acceptable goodness-of-fit indicators. Discussion: The CSCS-5 presents high internal consistency and a one-dimensional structure to measure cognitive capital social in the Colombian sample. Authors can recommend measuring social capital in the general Colombian population. Further research should corroborate this pencil and paper application findings and explore other reliability and validity indicators.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Personas con cáncer colorrectal (CCR) pueden presentar efectos adversos, perjudicando la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (CVRS). Objetivo: Validar el módulo QLQ CR29 para evaluación de la CVRS, en Chile. Materiales y método: Estudio transversal que incluyó 170 personas con CCR. Se analizaron la consistencia interna y validez de constructo del instrumento con test de hipótesis. Resultados: 117 personas (68,8%) fueron evaluadas antes de la cirugía y 53 (31,2%) después de la cirugía. La consistencia interna del QLQ CR29 fue α = 0,838. Fueron comprobadas las hipótesis planteadas: Los pacientes evaluados antes de la cirugía se quejaron más de "sangre/mucosidad en las heces", "dolor abdominal", "pérdida de cabello" e "hinchazón abdominal", mientras que los pacientes evaluados después presentaron más "incontinencia fecal" (p < 0,05). Antes de la cirugía, los pacientes con cáncer de recto CCR presentaron mayores valores de "frecuencia urinaria", "frecuencia de deposiciones", "dolor en las nalgas", "problemas con el gusto" y "vergüenza"; mientras que aquellos con cáncer de colon que se quejaban más de "sangre/mucosidad en las heces" (p < 0,05). Después de la cirugía, los pacientes con cáncer de recto tenían mayor "frecuencia de deposiciones", "eliminación de gases" y "vergüenza" (p = 0,004) en comparación con los con cáncer de colon (p < 0,05). Los pacientes ostomizados presentaron más "incontinencia fecal" y "vergüenza" (p < 0,001). Fueron observadas correlaciones positivas y negativas bajas entre la mayoría de las dimensiones del QLQ CR29 con las dimensiones del QLQ C30. Conclusión: La versión chilena del módulo QLQ CR29 es adecuada para evaluar la CVRS en personas con CCR.


Introduction: People with colorectal cancer (CRC) can present adverse effects, impairing the quality of life related to health (HRQoL). Objective: To validate the QLQ-CR29 module for the assessment of HRQoL, in Chile. Materials and method: Cross-sectional study that included 170 people with CRC. The internal consistency and construct validity (hypothesis tests) were analyzed. Results: 117 patients (68.8%) were evaluated before surgery and 53 (31.2%) after tumor resection. The internal consistency of the QLQCR29 was α = 0.838. The proposed hypotheses were confirmed: The patients evaluated before surgery complained more of "blood/mucus in the stool", "abdominal pain", "hair loss" and "abdominal swelling", while the patients evaluated after presented more "fecal incontinence" (p < 0.05). Before surgery, patients with rectal cancer presented higher values of "urinary frequency", "frequency of stools", "pain in the buttocks", "taste problems" and "embarrassment"; while those with colon cancer complained more of "blood/mucus in stool" (p < 0.05). After surgery, patients with CCR had higher "stool frequency", "flatus" and "embarrassment" (p = 0.004) compared with those with colon cancer (p < 0.05). Ostomized patients presented more "fecal incontinence" and "embarrassment" (p < 0.001). Low significant correlations were observed between most of the dimensions of the QLQ CR29 with the dimensions of the QLQ C30. Conclusion: The Chilean version of the QLQ CR29 module is adequate to assess HRQoL in people with CRC.

ABSTRACT

Background: Self-reported adherence scales are widely used in research and practice because they are low in cost and easy to apply. A free version in Brazilian-Portuguese of the Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ) can be a useful alternative for determining the adherent behavior of hypertensive patients. Purpose: To translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the SMAQ therapeutic adherence scale for patients with arterial hypertension. Patients and methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in five outpatient units in Maceió-AL and Aracaju-SE between January and July 2019. A total of 117 patients aged over 18 years using antihypertensive drugs were recruited. The cross-cultural adaptation followed international methodological recommendations. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was tested as a reliability parameter. Criterion and construct validity were verified by concurrent validation, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and validation by known groups. Results: The participants had a mean age of 56.6 years (SD = 10.7 years); most were female (72.6%). The mean number of antihypertensives prescribed per patient was 1.87 (SD = 0.87). There were 79.5% (n = 86) of patients considered non-adherent. Internal consistency was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha = 0.63). A satisfactory correlation coefficient was verified with the Morisky-Green-Levine test as an external criterion (r = 0.56, p < 0.001). The scale's sensitivity measured through known group validity was 75.3%, specificity 29.5%, positive predictive value 63.9%, and negative predictive value 41.9%. We identified two factors of the instrument's construct from EFA: specific medication-taking behaviors and barriers to adherence. The initial KMO measure of sampling adequacy was 0.691, and Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant (χ2 = 118.342, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Brazilian-Portuguese version of the SMAQ scale proved valid and reliable for determining adherence to the pharmacotherapy in hypertensive patients. It showed more ability to detect non-adherent patients but with low specificity, possibly influenced by high social desirability.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose: Assessment of digital health literacy should be a major concern for healthcare providers. We aimed to translate and adapt the Digital Health Literacy (DHL) Instrument into Brazilian Portuguese and examine the content validity for individuals with heart failure (HF). Methods: The instrument was translated, back translated, and evaluated by a panel of six experts regarding linguistic equivalences. An agreement analysis was performed, with values ≥80% considered acceptable. The experts then evaluated clarity, theoretical relevance, and practical pertinence. The content validity index (CVI) was calculated for each item. A CVI ≥.83 was considered acceptable. The expert's opinions were also evaluated through the modified kappa coefficient for content validity studies. Values >.74 were considered excellent. The content validity ratio (CVR) was also calculated. A critical value of CVR of 1.00 was determined. Cognitive testing (understanding the meaning of each item and their respective answers) was performed with 33 individuals with HF. Results: The adapted version obtained an agreement of ≥83.3% for each item on linguistic equivalences. Total CVI was ≥0.83, kappa values for each item were >.74, and the CVR values were 1.00 for all items. After two rounds of evaluation, all patients were able to understand the items and response scale. Conclusions: The Brazilian version has satisfactory evidence of linguistic and content validity to measure DHL in patients with HF. Additional psychometric properties will be tested in the country.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Considering the importance of incorporating quality of life (QoL) construct during the health care of patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis, it is necessary to have evidence on the clinimetric properties of the instruments used for its measurement. This study aimed to establish the clinimetric properties of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form 36 (KDQOL-36) scale in patients with stage 5 CKD on dialysis in Colombia. METHODS: A scale validation study was conducted using the classical test theory methodology. The statistical analysis included exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) techniques performed on two independent subsamples; concurrent criterion validity assessments; internal consistency using four different coefficients; test-retest reliability; and sensitivity to change using mixed model for repeated measures. RESULTS: The KDQOL-36 scale was applied to 506 patients with a diagnosis of stage 5 CKD on dialysis, attended in five renal units in Colombia. The EFA endorsed the three-factor structure of the scale, and the CFA showed an adequate fit of both the original and empirical models. Spearman's correlation coefficient values ≥0.50 were found between the domains of the CKD-specific core of the KDQOL-36 scale and the KDQ. Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, Greatest lower bound (GLB), and Guttman's lambda coefficients were ≥0.89, indicating a high degree of consistency. A high level of concordance correlation was found between the two moments of application of the instrument, with values for Lin's concordance correlation coefficient ≥0.7. The application of the instrument after experiencing an event that could modify the quality of life showed statistically significant differences in the scores obtained. CONCLUSION: The KDQOL-36 scale is an adequate instrument for measuring QoL in Colombian patients with stage 5 CKD on dialysis.

ABSTRACT

To establish the validity of the BHS-20, a sample of 2064 adolescent students aged 14 and 17 years (M = 15.61, SD = 1.05) were invited to participate in the research. Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's omega (ω) were computed to evaluate the internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the dimensionality of the BHS-20. The Spearman correlation (rs) with depressive symptoms and risk of suicide scores of the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale were computed to explore the nomological validity. The BHS-20 showed a high internal consistency (α = .81, ω = .93), an adequate one-dimensional structure with an excellent adjustment [χ2 S-B = 341, df = 170, p < .01, Comparative Fit Index = .99, RMSEA = .03] and acceptable nomological validity with depressive symptoms (rs = .47, p < .01) and scores for suicide risk (rs = .33, p < .01). In conclusion, current results suggest that the BHS-20 demonstrates validity and reliability among Colombian adolescent students.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The Work Role Functioning Questionnaire 2.0 (WRFQ 2.0) is an important instrument within the context of occupational health, consisting of 27 items and 5 domains. In addition, a short version of WRFQ 2.0 with 5 items (WRFQ-5) was proposed, showing agreement with the long version. Thus, we aimed to confirm the number of factors of the WRFQ-5 short version and to verify the structural, construct, and criterion validity, reliability, internal consistency, and analysis of ceiling and floor effects of the Brazilian version of the WRFQ-5 in a general workers population. METHODS: A questionnaire validation and measurement properties study. We evaluated the internal structure of the WRFQ-5 by means of confirmatory factor analysis. Construct validity was assessed by correlating the WRFQ-5 with the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Work Ability Index (WAI), and Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP-work). Criterion validity was assessed by correlating the WRFQ-5 with the 5 domains of the WRFQ 2.0. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency were also evaluated. RESULTS: We observed positive correlations (p < .05) between the WRFQ-5 and the WAI (rho = 0.161 to 0.308) and negative correlations (p < .05) between the WRFQ-5 and the SEFIP-work (rho = -0.293). The WRFQ-5 significantly and positively correlates with the 5 domains of WRFQ 2.0 (rho = 0.742 to 0.830). The test-retest reliability of the WRFQ-5 was excellent (ICC2,1 = 0.935) and the internal consistency was adequate (Cronbach's alpha = 0.938). We did not observe ceiling and floor effects. CONCLUSION: The one-dimensional internal structure of the WRFQ-5 in Brazilian Portuguese has a valid internal structure and construct, as well as adequate reliability and internal consistency.

ABSTRACT

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

ABSTRACT Objectives: to validate the Brazilian version of the Modified Scale for Delineating Advanced Practice Nursing Roles. Methods: this was a methodological study for the clinical validation of an instrument, conducted with 207 nurses working in primary care. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha test, and z-test for proportion comparison were used. Results: the internal reliability of the scale was 0.944, with alpha greater than 0.80 in most domains, except for Education (0.786). In the exploratory factor analysis, considering the criterion of eigenvalue greater than one, eight factors were identified, explaining 79.38% of the variance. In the comparison of proportions, the adequate responses (≥ 2) in the domain of Comprehensive Direct Care, in both analyzed groups, were statistically equal. This domain had the highest score of adequate responses, followed by Education and Systems Support. Insufficient scoring was observed in the domains of Publication and Professional Leadership. Conclusions: the instrument demonstrated stability and reliability to be used in the evaluation of advanced nursing practice.

ABSTRACT

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.
