Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire - Brasil: estudo bicêntrico de confiabilidade

Abstract

Resumo Objetivo: Verificar a consistência interna e estabilidade do Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire - Brasil (CCVUQ-Brasil). Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa metodológica realizada em duas regiões do Brasil (Goiânia e Niterói), no período de junho de 2016 a junho de 2018. A amostra para a consistência interna foi composta por 112 pessoas e para a estabilidade foram avaliados 74 participantes, todos com úlcera venosa atendidas na rede pública de saúde. Para análise da consistência interna foi calculado o alfa de Cronbach. Para estabilidade, o questionário foi aplicado duas vezes com intervalo de 30 minutos e para sua análise foi calculado o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI). Resultados: O CCVUQ-Brasil apresentou alfa de Cronbach para pontuação total do questionário igual 0,92 e para os domínios (interação social, atividades domésticas, estética e estado emocional) foi acima de 0,70. A estabilidade foi excelente (CCI=0,96) para pontuação total do questionário e para a maioria dos domínios. Conclusão: O CCVUQ - Brasil obteve boa consistência interna considerando os dois cenários estudados e excelente estabilidade no cenário Goiânia.

Investigating quality of life instrument measurement properties for adults with active venous leg ulcers: A systematic review

“…We identified five studies that reported generic QoL instruments, these included Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), 36 the Client Generated Index (CGI), 35 the EuroQoL Five Dimensions (EQ‐5D), 27,33 12‐item Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐12) 33 and 36‐item Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36) 27 . Eight condition‐specific QoL instruments were identified: Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire (CCVUQ), 27,28 Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire‐Brazil (CCVUQ‐Brazil), 29 Chinese version of the Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire (CCVUQ‐C), 30 the Venous leg ulcer quality of life questionnaire (VLU‐QoL), 31 the Venous leg ulcer quality of life questionnaire‐ Brazil (VLU‐QoL‐Br), 32 Hyland Questionnaire, 33 the Sheffield Preference‐based Venous Ulcer questionnaire (SPVU‐5D) 34 and Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study Quality of Life (VEINES‐QOL) 26 …”

“…There were 6 out of 11 studies that were conducted in the United Kingdom 26,28,31,33,34,36 . The remainder were conducted in Australia, 35 New Zealand, 27 Brazil 29,32 and Hong Kong (SAR) 30 . Five studies were conducted in community settings 27,28,31,35,36 .…”

“…Studies were mainly published between 2000 and 2019. The mean of age of included participants ranged from 61.39 29 to 76 years 28 . Even though all included studies were written in English, there were three QoL instruments presented in Chinese 30 and Brazilian Portuguese 29,32 .…”

“…The mean of age of included participants ranged from 61.39 29 to 76 years 28 . Even though all included studies were written in English, there were three QoL instruments presented in Chinese 30 and Brazilian Portuguese 29,32 . In the studies that provided treatment information, compression therapy was the main treatment intervention for patients with VLUs.…”

“…Nine out of 11 included studies reported internal consistency of the QoL instrument 26,28–34,36 . One study 34 was rated ‘doubtful’ and two studies 26,28 were rated ‘inadequate’ on internal consistency.…”
