Validação para o português do Maugerl CaRdiac preventiOn-Questionnaire (MICRO-Q)

Abstract

Background: The Maugerl CaRdiac preventiOn-Questionnaire (MICRO-Q) is a validated specific tool used to assess the knowledge of the patient with coronary disease on aspects related to the secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Adaptação e validação do Cardiac Patients Learnings Needs Inventory para pacientes brasileiros

“…Specific instruments for identifying learning needs are rare. Among the studies describing the construction and validation of instruments to identify the cardiac patients' learning, Ghisi et al (17) performed the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Maugerl CaRdiac preventiOnQuestionnaire (MICRO-Q) for use in Brazil. This instrument, which was originally published in Italian, is used to assess coronary artery disease (CAD) patients' knowledge regarding secondary prevention.…”

Information about secondary prevention in coronary patients: a comparison between Italian and Brazilian Application of MICRO-Q Questionnaire

“…In order to evaluate information in patients with coronary heart disease, MICRO-Q (MaugerI CaRdiac preventiOn Questionnaire) was developed and validated in Italian [7], followed by the Portuguese validation [8].…”

“…So, this item was excluded in the Portuguese version, with the agreement of the original author. Because of that, in the Brazilian MICRO-Q, the items were distributed in the four domains as described: risk factors and lifestyle (9 items), diet (7 items), pre-admission avoidable delay (4 items) and cardiac disease (5 items) [8].…”

“…Spearman Rho correlation coefficient (test-retest) for correct responses was 0.72 at the original validation and 0.65 at the Brazilian validation, and the Cronbach's Alpha value of the reliability analysis was 0.68 at the original validation and 0.64 at the Brazilian one [7,8].…”

“…O Congestive Heart Failure Patient Learning Needs Inventory constitui outro exemplo de instrumento criado para identificar a percepção dos pacientes e dos enfermeiros sobre a necessidade de aprendizagem em relação à insuficiência cardía-ca congestiva (13) . Outro instrumento que avalia o nível de conhecimento de pacientes com doença arterial coronariana (DAC), o Maugerl Cardiac PreventionQuestionnaire (MICRO-Q), tem 26 afirmações (18 verdadeiras e 8 falsas), com opções de resposta -"verdadeiro", "falso" e "não sei", distribuídas em quatro domínios: fatores de risco (9 itens); dieta (8 itens); pré-admissão hospitalar (4 itens); e doença cardíaca (5 itens) (14) . A carência de instrumentos válidos, traduzidos para a língua portuguesa, para medir as necessidades de aprendizagem de pacientes com características comuns como, por exemplo, os coronariopatas, faz com que este estudo tenha importante implicação clínica e teórica principalmente para o Brasil.…”
