Validação de escala de avaliação de profissionalismo traduzida e adaptada em cenário de simulação

“…Adotou-se uma sequência de etapas (Figura 1) baseada em estudos anteriores e bem estabelecida em diretrizes para a adaptação transcultural de instrumentos [21][22][23][24][25] . Todo o processo foi cuidadosamente documentado.…”
