Evidence of validity of the Smoking Cessation Counseling scale - Brazilian version.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the evidence of validity of the internal structure and reliability of the Brazilian version of the Smoking Cessation Counseling instrument. METHOD: psychometric study of confirmatory factor analysis and reliability carried out on 250 nurses in clinical practice. For the analysis of the convergent validity of the factor model, Average Variance Extracted values were calculated, and discriminant analysis was carried out using the Fornell-Larcker criterion. Reliability was examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability. RESULTS: it was necessary to exclude seven items from the Advanced Counseling domain and one item from the Basic Counseling domain in order to properly obtain the Average Variance Extracted values and the Fornell-Larcker criterion. The composite reliability ranged from 0.76 to 0.86 and the overall Cronbach`s alpha coefficient was 0.86, ranging from 0.53 to 0.84 depending on the domain assessed. The final version of the instrument was made up of 16 items divided into 4 domains. CONCLUSION: the Brazilian version of Smoking Cessation Counseling obtained adequate psychometric evidence of validity and reliability. Further studies are needed to refine the instrument. BACKGROUND: (1) Instrument shows adequate internal consistency and validity. BACKGROUND: (2) Evaluate counseling practices and their impact on patient care. BACKGROUND: (3) Instrument for evaluating smoking cessation counseling. BACKGROUND: (4) Provides important information for planning nursing care.

Objetivo: evaluar las evidencias de validez de la estructura interna y de la confiabilidad de la versión brasileña del instrumento Smoking Cessation Counseling. Método: estudio psicométrico de análisis factorial confirmatorio y de confiabilidad realizado en 250 enfermeras de la práctica clínica. Para el análisis de la validez convergente del modelo factorial se calcularon valores de Average Variance Extracted, el análisis discriminante se realizó mediante el criterio de Fornell-Larcker. La confiabilidad se examinó por el coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach y por la confiabilidad compuesta. Resultados: fue necesaria la exclusión de siete ítems del dominio de Asesoramiento avanzado y un ítem del dominio Asesoramiento básico para obtener adecuadamente los valores de Average Variance Extracted y del criterio de Fornell-Larcker. La confiabilidad compuesta varió de 0,76 a 0,86 y el coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach global alcanzado fue de 0,86, variando de 0,53 a 0,84 dependiendo del dominio evaluado. Se obtuvo la versión final del instrumento compuesto de 16 ítems distribuidos en 4 dominios. Conclusión: la versión brasileña de Smoking Cessation Counseling obtuvo adecuadas evidencias psicométricas de validez y confiabilidad. Estudios posteriores serán necesarios para el refinamiento del instrumento.

Adaptação transcultural para o Brasil e confiabilidade da Smoking Cessation Counseling / Adaptación transcultural para Brasil y confiabilidad de la escala Smoking Cessation Counseling / Cross-cultural adaptation to Brazil and reliability of Smoking Cessation Counseling

Resumo Objetivo Realizar a tradução e adaptação transcultural da escala "Smoking Cessation Counseling" para a língua portuguesa e o contexto brasileiro e avaliar a confiabilidade da versão adaptada. Métodos Pesquisa metodológica de adaptação transcultural que empregou as seguintes fases: tradução, síntese das traduções, retrotradução, comitê de experts e pré-teste. No pré-teste, foi verificado a confiabilidade da escala por meio da análise da consistência interna (Alfa de Cronbach). Resultados Na tradução e retrotradução, as discordâncias relacionaram-se ao uso de sinônimos e nenhum dos itens foi modificado em relação ao seu entendimento e sim na adequação para a realidade brasileira. A avaliação do comitê de experts demonstrou que a retrotradução manteve as equivalências semântica e idiomática. A consistência interna da SCC mostrou-se excelente (0,916). Conclusão A escala adaptada tem equivalência cultural com o instrumento original e evidências de alta confiabilidade. Demais propriedades psicométricas estão sendo investigadas.

Abstract Objective To carry out the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Smoking Cessation Counseling scale into Portuguese and into the Brazilian context, as well as assessing the reliability of the adapted version. Methods Methodological research on cross-cultural adaptation that used the following phases: translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, expert committee and pretest. In pretest, scale reliability was verified through internal consistency analysis (Cronbach's Alpha). Results In translation and back-translation, the disagreements were related to the use of synonyms and none of the items was modified in relation to their understanding, but rather in the adequacy to the Brazilian reality. The experts committee's evaluation showed that back-translation maintained semantic and idiomatic equivalences. SCC's internal consistency proved to be excellent (0.916). Conclusion The adapted scale has cultural equivalence with the original tool and evidence of high reliability. Other psychometric properties are under investigation.
