Validation of Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale for brazilian portuguese

Abstract

Objective: to analyze the psychometric properties of the adapted version of Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale for Brazilian Portuguese. Method: this is a cross-sectional methodological study conducted with 151 informal caregivers of people with cerebral vascular accident sequelae enrolled in Family Health Units. To assess reliability, Cronbach’s alpha was used. Construct validity was verified through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and correlation with measures of instruments that evaluate correlated constructs. Results: Cronbach’s alpha for the total BCOS score was 0.89. Factor and exploratory analysis generated a one-factor structure, which was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Construct validity was supported by the high positive correlations with Negative Affect (r = 0.51) and Negative Experience (r = 0.47) of the Well-being Scale and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 (r = 0.53) and negative correlations with Positive Affect (r =-0.47) and Positive Experience (r = -0.17) of the Well-being scale. Conclusion: Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale shows evidence of satisfactory reliability and validity in family caregivers of cerebral vascular accident survivors.

Adaptation and validation of the Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument

“…In the composition of the specialists' committee, this research met the recommendations of the literature. That was evident in other studies observing the number and characteristics of participants (21)(22) ; however, among the studies cited, only one (22) also assessed, besides the equivalence, the clarity, and relevance of the items. As for the analysis of the agreement, two studies, besides the CVI, used the modified Kappa (2122) .…”

“…The process of cross-cultural adaptation of a scale is rigorous and complex; for this reason, it demands the fulfillment of a series of requirements, which aims to achieve equivalence between the original version and the adapted version of the instrument (15) . Those requirements met the cross-cultural adaptation of the APNCAI for the Brazilian culture, which was systematically carried out, according to international literature's recommendations, similar to other studies (21)(22) .…”

“…There was no consensus. inclusion and contribution of the target audience were essential to improve the understanding of the instrument, enable greater adherence to its use in clinical practice, ensure the veracity and quality of the collected information (22) . Although the instrument is long, the average time of completion was relatively short, which will help professionals involved in future research not to spend too much time during participation, thus facilitating the applicability.…”

Adaptação transcultural da Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale para o Português do Brasil

“…(31) Caso a exclusão de um item elevasse mais de 0,1 do alfa total do domínio, este seria excluído. (32) A adaptação e validação (33)…”

Validação do Questionário CAP - \"Conhecimento atitudes e práticas\" em gestantes expostas a agrotóxicos no Estado do Paraná

“…Em outro estudo, que objetivou analisar as propriedades psicométricas da versão adaptada da Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale para o português do Brasil, na análise da consistência interna realizada pelo alfa de Cronbach foi de 0,89, inferior que o estudo apresentado, mas que revela uma medida internamente consistente (COSTA et al, 2020). O mesmo ocorreu na validação do Protocolo Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), um questionário auto-aplicável que avalia a repercussão do zumbido na qualidade de vida dos pacientes, no qual a validade interna foi satisfatória (SCHMIDT et al, 2006).…”
