Brazilian Version of the Self-Estimated Functional Inability Because of Pain in Dancers: A Validation Study

ntroduction: practising sport contributes tothe reinforcement of important psychological features such as self-perception of competence, especially when participants are children from socially vulnerable contexts. Objective: to compare the socially vulnerablechildren’s self-perception of competence, assisted and unassisted by social sports projects. Method: a total of 235 children (male and female), aged between seven and tenyears, participated in this comparative study. They were divided into two groups: onegroup was formed by 106 children participating in social sports projects;the other was 129 children who did not participate in socialsports projects. The self-perception of competence was assessed by the Brazilian version of the Self-Perception Profile for Children. We used a three-way ANOVA to assess the possible interaction effect between gender, age and group (children assisted and unassisted) in the different dimensions of perceived competence. Results: The children attending sports projects reported higher overall self-worth (F(1.234)) = 6.132, p = 0.014, η2 = 0.026). It was observed that there was an effect of interaction between the variable age x group (F(1.234)) = 6.673, p = 0.010, η2 = 0.029) on the self-perception of social acceptance. There were no significant effects of group on the other dimensions of self-perception of competence. Conclusion: the children participatingin social sports projects showed more self-perception in terms of social acceptance and self-concept compared tonon-participatory children. This project does not help in other dimensions of self-perception.

AIMS: To validate the Brazilian version of the Fresno test of competence in Evidence-Based Medicine.METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, validation study. Phase 1: translation of the Fresno instrument. Phase 2: validation of the translated version, which was tested in 70 undergraduate medical students. The psychometric properties evaluated were validity, internal consistency, and sensitivity to change.RESULTS: Overall, validity was adequate; most items showed a moderate to strong and significant correlation with the total score; there was an important and significant difference between both groups, with and without previous contact with Evidence-Based Medicine (median, 55 [IQ25-75, 45.2-61.7] vs. median, 18.5 [IQ25-75, 6.0-29.7]) (p <0.001). Internal consistency was also adequate (α-C 0.718), and sensitivity to change showed a considerable and significant difference between pre and post-test (median, 18.5 [IQ25-75, 6.0-29.7] vs. median, 44 [IQ25-75, 34.0-60.0]) (p <0.001).CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian version of the Fresno test showed satisfactory psychometric properties, and it can now be used as a tool to assess the knowledge and skills of Evidence-Based Medicine in Brazilian medical students.

Adherence Scale

Background and Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and the construct validity of the Brazilian version of the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Adherence Scale (SEAMS). Methods: One hundred forty-seven patients with coronary artery disease participated in the study. Reliability was estimated by composite reliability (CR). Convergent validity was estimated by the factor loading and average variance extracted (AVE). The discriminant validity was assessed by cross-factor loadings, comparing the square roots of AVEs by correlation coefficients between latent constructs and disattenuated correlation. Results: The values of CR of .88 and .99 for Factors 1 and 2, respectively, indicate internal consistency reliability. Values of AVE = 0.52 for Factor 1 and 0.69 for Factor 2 to the convergent validity of the model. Cross-factor loadings were found ≥.50 for all items of the scale in areas that were allocated in the original instrument, square roots of AVEs higher than the correlations between the constructs and desatenuada correlation (r = .83), suggesting discriminant validity fashion model. Conclusion: Confirmatory factor analysis partially yielded the construct validity of the Brazilian version of the SEAMS.
