Cultural adaptation of the Retirement Resources Inventory for Brazilian culture

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To translate and adapt the Retirement Resources Inventory for Brazilian culture. METHODS: Methodological research including the stages of translation, synthesis, evaluation by committee of judges, back-translation and pre-test. The internal consistency of the instrument with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was evaluated. RESULTS: We considered the stages of translation and cultural adaptation adequate. The evaluation of the synthesis version by the judges resulted in the need to change 95.0% of the items to ensure the semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalence between the original and translated versions. In general consensus of the instrument, the agreement rate among the judges for the equivalences was 84.4%. As for the pre-test stage, 25 pre-retirees participated. The participants suggested adjustments in the instrument. The instrument’s internal consistency was 0.85. The mean time to fill in the instrument was 18.7 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: The methodological process of cultural adaptation of the Retirement Resources Inventory resulted in adequate content validity and ease of understanding by the participants. We emphasize that this study precedes the evaluation process of the psychometric properties of the instrument, which will be carried out in new studies.

Estratégias para a promoção do envelhecimento ativo no Brasil: uma revisão integrativa

“…Oferecer programas de preparação para a aposentadoria é uma forma de promover o envelhecimento saudável (Gvozd et al, 2019), entretanto manter Programas de Preparação para a Aposentadoria (PPA) ativos e promover a participação dos trabalhadores representa um desafio nos dias atuais (Pissinati et al, 2019).…”

“…O processo de aposentadoria é um dos momentos mais marcantes da transição entre a vida adulta e a velhice, e dois fatores são muito importantes, a escolha e o controle sobre o momento adequado de se desligar do trabalho, e o acesso a recursos que permitam o preparo desse momento. Pesquisadores sugerem que quem não deseja continuar trabalhando tenha ao menos uma atividade laboral na aposentadoria, de forma a incorporar aspectos relevantes para Development, v. 9, n. 10, e1959108556, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i10.8556 o bem-estar ao dia a dia, e se adaptar aos novos papéis a serem assumidos (Gvozd et al, 2019).…”

Desenvolvimento de um protótipo de web software de apoio ao planejamento da aposentadoria

“…The development of a web software prototype to support retirement planning adopted as a central element the computerized version of the RRI so that, during its completion, users could identify the areas that presented greater weakness in relation to retirement planning 5 . Thus, from the score displayed by means of a graph projected on the results screen, users accessed selected support materials, aimed to promote reflection on the aspect of lower punctuation, which corresponds to the greater weakness regarding the preparation for termination of work activities.…”

“…Among the instruments that contribute to the reflection of the worker on retirement planning, the Retirement Resources Inventory (RRI) 4 , translated and validated in Brazil 5 stands out. These instruments, such as the RRI, become important tools of action for Retirement Preparation Programs (RPPs), which help workers reflecting on the changes they may experience after leaving work 6 .…”

Cross-cultural adaptation and content validity of leisure attitude measurement for older adults

“…Older adults constitute a rapidly and substantially growing segment of the population worldwide, with estimates that draw attention by pointing to a total of 1.2 billion people aged 60 and over in 2025 1 . If, on the one hand, these data show an opportunity for advancement in terms of quality and life expectancy, on the other hand, they create uncertainties regarding the social, financial and health maintenance of this age group 2 . Because this phase is usually associated with the exit of the individual from the labor market, it is marked by physical, psychological, social and mental changes, which may lead to the loss of personal identity and interfere with quality of life 3,4 .…”
