Transcultural adaptation of the Student Nurse Stress Index to Brazil

Abstract

Objective: to cross-culturally adapt the Student Nurse Stress Index to the Brazilian context. Method: this is a methodological study of translation and cross-cultural adaptation. We used a sample of specialists (n = 3) and nursing students (n = 40). Socioeconomic and academic questionnaires were used for data collection, assessment and the translated instrument (SNSI-Brazil). Results: most students were female (90.0%), single (87.5%), unemployed (80.0%), they studied on average 11 hours per week, slept 6 hours per day; and rated the face and the content of the instrument as very good, agreeing substantially (kappa = 0.74 and p-value < 0.01). The judges showed regular agreement in their assessments, and the SNSI-Brazil showed a good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.80). Conclusion: The SNSI-Brazil was validated for face and content, has a good internal consistency if compared to versions used in other countries.

Translation and Psychometrics of Persian Version of the Stress Index in Nursing Students

“…The reliability of this instrument is consistent with its original version, so that for the whole instrument, the reliability coe cient was 0.881, which indicates the internal consistency of the Persian version of this scale. In their study, Sarikoc et al (2017) obtained the reliability coe cient of the whole instrument at 0.86 (29), and Paula et al (2020) obtained the reliability coe cient of the whole instrument at 0.80 in their study (30). The reliability and stability results obtained from two implementations of this instrument two weeks apart in the study were favorable and satisfactory, which indicated the stability of the results over time and are consistent with the study results of the original version of this instrument (25).…”

“…In Sarikoc et al's (2017) study, which was conducted with the aim of determining the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the SNSI instrument, the results were as follows: in this study, based on the exploratory factor analysis, 4 factors were obtained in the order, "personal problems", clinical concerns", "interface worries " and "scienti c burden" (29). In the study of Paula et al (2020), which was conducted with the aim of determining the validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the SNSI instrument, similar results were obtained, so that the results of this study are in line with that of Sarikoc et al (2017) (29) and that of Gou et al (2019) (31) (30). Moreover, in the present study, according to the reported indicators, the tness of the model was evaluated, and the results of the con rmatory factor analysis of the items brought a suitable and good estimate based on the general indices of the model's tness, and the numbers of RMSEA = 0.11, CMIN/DF = 3.7, GFI = 0.79, AGFI = 0.73, NFI = 0.90, NNFI = 0.92, PNFI = 0.78, CFI = 0.93, IFI = 0.93, RFI = 0.88, RMR = 0.079 were obtained.…”

“…In the present study, the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the stress index questionnaire of nursing students was investigated. So far, the SNSI questionnaire has been standardized in several different languages (29)(30)(31). The results showed that the SNSI questionnaire can be used as a valid and reliable instrument to diagnose the stress of nursing students.…”
