Cultural adaptation of Quality Of Care Through The Patient's Eyes -QUOTE-HIV

Abstract

Objective: to translate and adapt Quality of Care Through the Patient's Eyes -HIV (QUOTE-HIV) for the Brazilian population living with HIV/AIDS. Method: a methodological study, which followed the stages of translation, synthesis, back-translation, evaluation by the committee of experts and pre-test for cultural adaptation of the instrument. Results: the process of translation and cultural adaptation was considered adequate. Evaluation by the expert committee resulted in semantic, structural and grammatical adequacy of the evaluated items. 30 subjects considered the instrument to be easy to understand and suggested minor adjustments in some items. Conclusion: the Brazilian version of QUOTE-HIV has been adapted and validated in relation to its content. However, this is a study that precedes the process of evaluating the psychometric properties of the instrument, the results of which will be presented in a later publication.

RESUMO Objetivo: traduzir e adaptar o Quality of Care Through the Patient's Eyes -HIV (QUOTE-HIV) para população brasileira que vive com HIV/aids. Método: estudo do tipo metodológico, que seguiu as etapas de tradução, síntese, retrotradução, avaliação pelo comitê de especialistas e pré-teste para adaptação cultural do instrumento. Resultados: o processo de tradução e adaptação cultural foi considerado adequado. A avaliação pelo comitê de especialistas resultou em adequações semânticas, estruturais e gramaticais dos itens avaliados. Participaram do pré-teste 30 sujeitos que consideraram o instrumento de fácil compreensão e sugeriram pequenas adequações em alguns de seus itens. Conclusão: a versão brasileira do QUOTE-HIV encontra-se adaptada e validada em relação ao seu conteúdo. Contudo, este é um estudo que antecede o processo de avaliação das propriedades psicométricas do instrumento, cujos resultados serão apresentados em publicação posterior.

Quality of Nursing Care Perceived by People With HIV in Brazil: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Quality of Care Through the Patient's Eyes-HIV questionnaire. The QUOTE-HIV questionnaire was previously translated, adapted, and validated for Brazil (Lima et al, 2022;Lima & Freitas, 2018). It was specifically designed to assess the quality of nursing care from the perspective of PWH.…”

“…Despite the reduction in new HIV cases, the promotion of preventive methods, HIV testing, and treatment are still essential for the continuous improvement of health indicators (Brasil, 2020). Thus, the quality of care provided by health professionals involved with PWH is an important indicator for evaluating the care and outcomes achieved by health services, such as SCS (Davis-Michaud et al, 2004;Engelhard et al, 2017;Lima & Freitas 2018;Rice et al, 2020). Several studies (Gagnon, 2015;Tran & Nguyen, 2012) have demonstrated that health professionals, including nurses, sometimes have negative attitudes, inadequate knowledge, or even ignorance about HIV, which can affect the quality of services they provide (Boakye & Mavhandu-Mudzusi, 2019;Gagnon, 2015;Tran & Nguyen, 2012).…”

Psychometric Properties of Instrument Assessing Nursing Care Provided to Individuals With Hiv/Aids

“…This search resulted in the QUOTE-HIV 5 , an instrument assessing the quality of care from the perspective of individuals with HIV infection. Before this study, the QUOTE-HIV was translated and culturally adapted for Brazilian HIV-infected individuas 6 , according to the guidelines provided in the literature for the cultural adaptation and content validation of instruments 7 . The literature also emphasizes the importance of assessing the measurement properties of culturally adapted instruments to ensure the safety and reliability of data collected in investigations and used in clinical practice [8][9] .…”
