Cross-cultural translation of quality instruments in the organ donation process

Abstract

Objective: To carry out the cross-cultural translation of quality instruments in the organ donation process from the National Transplantation Organization of Spain. Methods: Methodological research with quantitative approach conducted in three Neurology reference hospitals in the South of the country. The instruments validation was carried out by mean of the steps of translation, backtranslation, synthesis and expert committee. The reliability was conducted by means of interobserver equivalence and test and retest stability. Results: There was a 100% match among all the judges in 89% of the items in the cross-cultural translation (11% of the items were not equivalent). In the reliability analysis, the Kappa coefficients corresponded to 0.86 and 0.95. Conclusion: The versions of the instruments were considered valid and reliable for use by institutions that carry out the organ donation process in Brazil.

Métodos: Pesquisa metodológica de abordagem quantitativa, realizada junto a três hospitais de referência em Neurocirurgia na Região Sul do país. A validade dos intrumentos foi desenvolvida por meio das etapas de tradução, backtranslation, síntese e comitê de juízes. A fidedignidade foi realizada por meio da equivalência interobservadores e da estabilidade teste e reteste. Resultados: Houve 100% de equivalência, por todos os juízes, em 89% dos itens na tradução transcultural (11% dos itens foram não equivalentes). Os valores de Kappa, na fidedignidade, foram 0,86 e 0,95. Conclusão: As versões dos instrumentos foram consideradas válidas e confiáveis para serem utilizadas pelas instituições que realizam o processo de doação de órgãos no Brasil.

Adaptação Transcultural De Instrumentos De Pesquisa Conduzida Pela Enfermagem Do Brasil: Uma Revisão Integrativa

“…Most of the articles analyzed (18) were published between the years of 2011 and 2014 [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] (Table 2) and the most frequently-found specialties were Clinical Medicine 10,13,17,25,27 and Pediatrics 9,14,17,20 . The most-used methodological framework for CCA, in 20 articles analyzed, was that with Beaton as either the main author or as a contributing author, published in different years.…”

“…The most-used methodological framework for CCA, in 20 articles analyzed, was that with Beaton as either the main author or as a contributing author, published in different years. [9][10][11][12][14][15][16][17][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Regarding the stages of the CCA process, in 14 of the articles analyzed [11][12][14][15][16][18][19][20][21]24,[26][27][29][30] the following sequence was adopted: translation, synthesis of the translations, back-translation, analysis by a committee of specialists, and pretesting of the adapted version. 1 In the other studies [9][10]13,17,[22][23]25,28 this sequence of the process was altered.…”

“…Regarding the description of the procedures adopted in the stages of CCA it was observed that in 20 articles [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][19][20][21][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] the authors were concerned with giving a detailed description of the largest part of the process, evidencing the attention given to the methodological rigor adopted. 3 The description of the process of selecting the experts who made up the specialist committees was observed in 18 articles.…”

“…3 The description of the process of selecting the experts who made up the specialist committees was observed in 18 articles. 9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]19,22,[24][25][26][27][28]30 In 17 studies [9][10][12][13][14][17][18][19][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]30 the evaluation of the psychometric properties of the instruments was undertaken, along with the validation of the qualitative and quantitative content (the expert committee), with a description of the statistical analysis used. Among the statistical tests used in the psychometric evaluation, the Alfa Cronbach test deserves to be highlighted, used in the analysis of the instrument's internal consistency (reliability), given that this was undertaken in 09 [9][10]12,14,18,[24][25]28 of the 17 articles ( Table 2).…”

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Intermittent SelfCatheterization Questionnaire

“…In item 17, the term "obvious" was changed to "perceived"; in item 20, the term "package" was excluded. The order of sentences was changed in items 1,4,6,8,9,11,12,15,18,21,22 and 23, but we maintained the same meaning.…”
