ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the NutriQoL® into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The NutriQoL® comprises 17 questions that evaluate the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The methodological procedures included the translation from the Spanish version into Portuguese by two translators, synthesis of the translations, back translation, evaluation by a committee of judges composed of 24 individuals in which a content validity index > 0.78 was considered acceptable, and generation of the pre-final version. A pre-test to analyze its semantic equivalence was administered to 12 patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The final version of the questionnaire was then prepared. Results A summary version of the questionnaire was obtained using two versions of the translation. Both back translations were identical for 73.6% of sentences (n=25). Twenty-four volunteers were included in the committee of judges. The content validity index was 0.88±0.11, and 14.7% (n=5) of questions had a low content validity index and were thus reformulated. In the pre-test, 35.3% (n=12) of items obtained low levels of understanding and required adjustment. In the preparation of the final version, the inconsistencies of the items mentioned were corrected and/or adjusted. Conclusion After completing the methodological procedures, a Brazilian Portuguese version of the NutriQoL® questionnaire was obtained. Following the validation process, it can be used by dieticians and other health professionals to assess the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy to contribute to improvements in care practices.

Abstract Objective To build and validate a flowchart for the prevention and treatment of intestinal peristomal skin complications. Method For the construction of the algorithms, a systematic review was carried out in health sciences databases comprising the last 10 years. The evaluation of the algorithms was carried out by 38 nurses. For the validation of the algorithms, the Delphi technique was used. The statistical analysis used was the content validity index and the Cronbach alpha coefficient. The questionnaire was sent by e-mail and in person after approval by the Ethics and Research Committee. Results In the first evaluation of the algorithms, there was no agreement among the experts. However, after making the corrections suggested by the evaluators, the algorithms were resent, with a 100% consensus among the evaluators. The questions used to validate the algorithms contributed favourably to the internal consistency and content validation of the instrument, since the respective Cronbach alpha was 0.9062 and the global content validity index (g-CVI) was 0.91 in the first validation and 1.0 in the second validation. Conclusion After an integrative literature review, the flowcharts were built and validated by a professional with experience in the area, showing 100% agreement among the experts in the second evaluation.
