Objective: To translate and culturally adapt the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP) Skin Tear Classification into the Portuguese language in Brazil and test the content validity of the adapted version. Methods: The cultural adaption comprised three phases: translation, evaluation by committee of judges composed of five stomatherapists (confirming the instrument content validity) and back-translation. Results: Two Brazilian Portuguese versions of the instrument were obtained after translation and analyzed by the committee, disagreements arose over several health related terms. This generated low values of the content validity index. However, the content validity was confirmed after discussion of discrepancies between the authors and some members of the judges’ committee, as well as with one of the authors of the original instrument, Dr. Kimberly LeBlanc, who also testified that validity when approving the back-translations of the adapted version to Brazilian Portuguese. Conclusion: The culturally adapted version of the ISTAP Skin Tear Classification is considered to have been obtained, with its content validity also attested. At that moment, the tests for inter and intraobserver reliability and concurrent validity are in the finalization phase, after which the instrument adapted and validated for Brazil will be made available.

Objective: to describe the methodological process of cultural adaptation of the Glamorgan Scale to Brazilian Portuguese. Method: a methodological study of translation and cultural adaptation of the Glamorgan Scale, following the six stages: initial translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, committee of experts, pre-test, and submission of the adapted version to the author for approval. The committee of experts was composed of five physicians and, during evaluation, a semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual analysis was carried out. The agreement and representativeness of the items were assessed using the Content Validity Index. A minimum value of 80% agreement was considered. Results: all stages of the translation and cross-cultural adaptation process were satisfactory. In the evaluation made by the committee of experts, all items obtained an agreement greater than 80% in the first evaluation round. The pre-test stage allowed for a critical overview of the instrument, where few modifications were suggested by the participants. Conclusion: the Glamorgan Scale was translated and culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Future psychometric studies are necessary to validate the scale.

Abstract Objective To present the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) for the Brazilian context. Method The following stages were used: translation into Brazilian Portuguese by independent translators, elaboration of a synthesis version, back-translation, evaluation by experts and pretest with target population. Results All the stages of cross-cultural adaptation were completed, and in the majority of items evaluated, good concordance between experts was obtained (≥ 80%). Suggested adjustments were compiled into the consensus version by the two authors, with the resulting material being considered adequate in the pretest (and thus no further changes were needed). Termed as “Escala de Ansiedade Esportiva-2,” the final version was considered by the main author of the original scale as an official version in Brazilian Portuguese. Conclusions In view of the fulfilment of all steps suggested for the cross-cultural adaptation process, the SAS-2 is now available in Brazilian Portuguese to be tested for its psychometric qualities.

This study aims to undertake the translation and cultural adaptation of the Échelle Douleur Inconfort Nouveau-Né scale into Brazilian Portuguese, following the steps recommended internationally: a) dual translation into Brazilian Portuguese; b) a synthesis of the translations; c) back translation into the original language; d) evaluation by a panel of judges; and e) pre-testing. All internationally recommended steps were performed satisfactorily. The panel of judges made alterations in most parts of the instrument, in order to keep the semantic, idiomatic, conceptual and cultural equivalences between the original and the translated versions. Pre-testing revealed the translated version is easy to understand and to fill out, and rapid to use. The translation and cultural adaption of the EDIN into Brazilian Portuguese were successfully completed.

ABSTRACT Objective: this study aimed to carry of the cultural adaptation and to evaluate the reliability of the Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale (CSPS) for nurses in Brazil. Method: the adaptation process entailed translation, consensus among judges, back-translation, semantic validation and pretest. The reliability was evaluated by internal consistency (Cronbach alpha) and stability (test-retest). The instrument was administered to a sample group of 300 nurses who worked in a large hospital located in the city of São Paulo/SP, Brazil. Results: through the semantic validation, the items from the scale were considered understandable and deemed important for the nurse´s clinical practice. The CSPS Brazilian Portuguese version (CSPS-PB) revealed excellent interpretability. The Cronbach`s alpha was 0.61 and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.85. Conclusion: the initial study showed that CSPS-PB is appropriate to assess compliance with standard precautions among nurses in Brazil. The reliability was considered acceptable. Furhter study is necessary to evaluate its comprehensive psychometric properties.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Non-treatment of diseases or clinical conditions has been considered to constitute omission of care in several countries. The aim of the present study was to develop a transcultural adaptation of the Screening Tool to Alert Doctors to the Right Treatment (START) to Brazilian Portuguese and to validate the tool's content. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cultural adaptation and validation of the START criteria using the Delphi consensus technique. METHOD: START was translated from its original language into Brazilian Portuguese, followed by back-translation and validation by means of the modified Delphi technique. For this, an electronic form was developed and sent to 20 experts, who were asked to use a Likert scale to assess the statements included in START, in relation to their pertinence to Brazilian realities. All of the statements that exhibited mean scores greater than 4.0 were considered to have attained consensus. The experts' identities were kept confidential throughout the validation process. RESULTS: In the first phase of the validation process, 63.6% (14/22) of the statements in START attained consensus. The remaining statements were returned to the experts so that they could have the opportunity to review their comments and statements and to assess them again, based on the Likert scale used earlier. In this phase, 100% of the START instrument attained consensus. CONCLUSION: The content of START was entirely validated for Brazil, with all of the original criteria maintained.

ABSTRACT Objective: to culturally adapt the Adaptation Scale to Elimination Ostomy for the Brazilian Portuguese language and to evaluate the content validity. Method: a methodological study, which stages of cultural adaptation were: adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese; committee of seven experts to evaluate the semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalences; and pre-test with 30 people with ostomy, performed between 2016 and 2017. The content validation was then performed, according to the Content Validity Coefficient greater than or equal to 0.80 and kappa coefficient. Results: the target population demonstrated good understanding in the pre-test. The Content Validity Coefficient of the scale reached values of 0.9 for the criteria: language clarity, practical relevance and theoretical relevance, and for the “dimension” category, the kappa mean value (0.587). Conclusion: the Adaptation Scale to Elimination Ostomy, built and validated originally in Portugal, was culturally adapted to Brazil, constituting an easy-to-understand resource, but it is still necessary to attest the psychometric properties of this version.
