“…The original Portuguese version of the scale is available for use free of charge.The authors of the present study developed a version of the RSCT in American English, following recommendations published by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR). These recommendations are commonly used in our field for translation and cross-cultural adaptation of self-report instruments 15,16. Procedures Recommendations for procedures of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of scales drawn up by the Task Force for Translation and Cultural Adaptation of the ISPOR were followed.There are 10 basic steps to be followed to conduct the translation 17 : 1) Preparation: initial preparation of the instrument before the translation process;2) Forward translation: first translation from source language to the desired target language;3) Reconciliation: comparison and merging of different translations into a single version; 4) Back-translation: translation of the reconciled version from the target language back to the source language; 5) Back-translation review: review of discrepancies between the original version and the version produced by back-translation; 6) Harmonization: comparison of multiple backtranslated versions with each other and with the original version of the scale to harmonize discrepancies; 7) Cognitive debriefing: administration of the instrument to a small number of physicians (in the case of this project) to assess comprehension, interpretation and the cultural relevance of the translation; Review of cognitive debriefing results and finalization; Final Report.…”
