Adaptação transcultural e validação de um questionário de conhecimento sobre insuficiência cardíaca para enfermeiros

Abstract

This study aims to perform the cross-cultural adaptation and to verify the content validity and stability of Nurses' Knowledge of Heart Failure Education Principles to evaluate what Brazilian nurses know of heart failure. The process of cross-cultural adaptation involved translation, synthesis, back-translation, committee's proofreading and pre-test. The following psychometric properties were assessed content validity (face), reliability through internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha) and stability (Kappa coefficient). After the cross-cultural adaptation, the instrument was applied to 54 nurses (27 from a cardiology hospital and 27 from a general hospital). The Cronbach's Alpha was 0.7. The questions 4, 5, and 11 presented a Kappa coefficient less than or equal to 0.4, and further questions presented a Kappa coefficient superior or equal to 0.7. This questionnaire was validated and proved to be adequate to assess the knowledge of this group of professionals.

Measuring Instruments In Cardiology Adapted Into Portuguese Language Of Brazil: A Systematic Review

“…Stability, known as reproducibility in some studies, was evaluated in five instruments by means of Kappa index, with values above 0.60 (14)(15)(18)(19)21) , and by means of Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) on three instruments, also with values above 0.60 (17,22,26) . There were no reports of stability analysis in three studies (13,20,23) .…”

Effectiveness of video monitoring in transition of care for patients with heart failure (EVIT-HF): a study protocol for a randomized clinical trial

“…Sociodemographic data, clinical variables, laboratory test results (sodium, urea, creatinine, potassium and complete blood count), current medications and cardiovascular physical examination data will be collected. Moreover, Clinical congestion score, European HF self-care, HF knowledge, HF treatment adherence, HF quality of life and Cardiorespiratory Fitness data will be collected by speci c instruments [12][13][14][15][16]. After this step, participants will be randomized in CG or IG.…”

Avaliação do nível de conhecimento de alunos de pós-graduação em Radiologia e Imaginologia sobre mucosite oral

“…O questionário aplicado nesta pesquisa foi baseado nos questionários de Horowitz et al (2000) e Dib (2004) e foram utilizados como base para elaborar a seção de investigação sobre os dados demográficos do presente estudo, e o questionário validado de Klein et al (2012) embasou a metodologia da seção do questionário que aborda a mucosite oral na análise dicotômica (verdadeira ou falsa), cuja amostra (n:54) foi referência para a presente pesquisa. Além disso, o conteúdo das questões relativas à mucosite oral foi formulado para a presente pesquisa em sua totalidade.…”
