“…The instrument contains 26 items, for total transformed scores ranging between 0 to 100 points, with higher scores denoting higher quality of life; (iii) positive role appraisals mediating between the stressor and caregiver well-being, measured through the Portuguese version of Positive Aspects of Caregiving (PAC) [57,60], total score. This instrument comprises 11 items answered in a 5-point scale, for a total score ranging between 11 to 55 points and higher scores representing more positive appraisals; and (iv) general self-efficacy, measured through the total score of the Generalized Self-efficacy Scale [61,62]. The scale comprises 10 items answered in a 4-point scale for a total score ranging between 10 to 40 points, and higher scores representing a higher general self-efficacy.…”

Background: Informal caregivers (IC) of people with dementia (PwD) are at greater risk of developing physical and mental health problems when compared to the general population and to IC of people with other chronic diseases. Internet-based interventions have been explored for their potential to minimize the negative effects of caring, accounting for their ubiquitous nature, convenient delivery, potential scalability and presumed (cost) effectiveness. iSupport is a self-help online program developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide education, skills training and support to IC of PwD. This paper describes the design of an intervention study aimed at determining the effectiveness of a Portuguese culturally adapted version of iSupport on mental health and other well-being outcomes. Methods: The study follows an experimental parallel between-group design with two arms: access to the five modules and twenty-three lessons of "iSupport" for three months (intervention group); or access to an educationonly e-book (comparison group). One hundred and eighty four participants will be recruited by referral from national associations. Inclusion criteria are: being 18 years or older and provide e-consent; being a self-reported non-paid caregiver for at least six months; of a person with a formal diagnosis of dementia; being skilled to use internet; and experience a clinically relevant level of burden (≥ 21 on Zarit Burden Interview) or depression or anxiety symptoms (≥ 8 on Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Data is collected online, resorting to selfadministered instruments, at baseline, 3 and 6 months after baseline. The primary outcome is caregiver burden, measured by the Zarit Burden Interview. Symptoms of depression and anxiety, quality of life, positive aspects of caregiving and general self-efficacy are secondary study outcomes. The data analysis will follow an Intention-totreat (ITT) protocol. Discussion: This protocol is an important resource for the many organizations in several countries aiming to replicate iSupport. Findings from this intervention study will offer evidence to bolster an informed decision making on scaling up iSupport as a new intervention program with minimal costs aimed at minimizing the psychological distress of IC of PwD in Portugal and elsewhere.

“…15,16 Translation and cross-cultural adaptation Permission to translate and use PRAISE was given by corresponding author of the original paper describing the instrument. 2 As GSE has been validated in Portuguese, 13 permission from authors was obtained to integrate the already translated answer key and 10 items into the forthcoming PRAISE translation. Subsequently, the process proceeded in 5 steps: 1) the original 5 items from PRAISE were translated by 2 independent Portuguese translators (professional certified translator and a physiotherapist living in an Englishspeaking country for more than 5 years); 2) a synthesis version was proposed by an independent bilingual translator (psychologist and certified translator); 3) blind backward translation by 2 independent bilingual and bicultural translators, living in an English-speaking country for more than 5 years (medical doctor and an audit executive director); 4) Final synthesis by a multidisciplinary committee (previous 5 independent translators and also this study's main researcher, a pulmonologist expert in Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and the author of the original instrument); and 5) a cognitive debriefing was performed by testing and re-testing on a sample of 10 respiratory patients attending Pulmonary Rehabilitation.…”

Introduction and Objectives: Recent updates on Pulmonary Rehabilitation highlight the importance of patients' self-efficacy on long-term adherence to health-enhancing behaviors. The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Adapted Index of Self-Efficacy (PRAISE) is an adaptation of the General Self-Efficacy Scale. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt and evaluate reliability and validity of PRAISE in Portuguese respiratory patients. Patients or Materials and Methods: Forward-backward translation and pilot testing were performed. Content validity was assessed by a multidisciplinary panel of expert judges. To evaluate reliability and validity, 150 respiratory outpatients on Pulmonary Rehabilitation participated in a cross-sectional study. Descriptive and reliability analyses, and exploratory factorial analysis using principal axis factoring, followed by oblique oblimin factor rotation were conducted to identify construct validity. IBM ® SPSS ® version 22 was used to perform statistical analysis. Results: 150 patients with a mean age of 67 years, 54% male and 83% currently on Pulmonary Rehabilitation participated in the study. These included mainly Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients (46.7%) but also Bronchiectasis (20%), Interstitial Lung Disease (20%) and other respiratory diseases. PRAISE mean score was 49. Exploratory factor analysis extraction provided a 4-factor solution that cumulatively explained 52.3% of total variance (F1: 26.6%; F2: 9.7%; F3: 8.7%; F4: 7.3%). Portuguese PRAISE showed a reliability of 0.78 (Chronbach alpha). Conclusions: The Portuguese version of PRAISE showed adequate psychometric properties for it to be used as an instrument to measure self-efficacy as a patient-centered outcome on Pulmonary Rehabilitation.

“…O construto de autoeficácia foi proposto por Bandura em 1977 com a publicação da obra Self-efficacy: Toward a unifying theory of behavior change (Bandura, 1977). A autoeficácia é um dos principais componentes da teoria social cognitiva (Araújo & Moura, 2011;Azzi & Polydoro, 2006;Bandura, 1977;Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994;Olaz, 2003;Pajares & Olaz, 2008), a qual explica o comportamento humano mediante um modelo da Balsan, L.

Adaptação e Validação da Nova Escala Geral de Autoeficácia

et al. 2020

Autoeficácia é a crença da pessoa na sua própria capacidade para organizar e executar ações, influenciando experiências humanas positivas. É essencial haver instrumentos capazes de mensurar adequadamente esse construto. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo adaptar e validar para o contexto brasileiro a New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE), por meio de dois estudos independentes de corte transversal. Em ambos os estudos, a amostra foi composta por adultos de 18 a 66 anos, com variados graus de escolaridade, que responderam a escala após a tradução e adaptação dos itens do instrumento original. A melhor solução encontrada por meio das análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias apontou para a manutenção de seis dos oito itens originais da escala em uma estrutura unifatorial. O modelo final apresentou índices de ajuste satisfatórios (χ 2 /gl=2,98; GFI=0,97; CFI=0,97; TLI=0,94; RMSEA=0,08), assim como níveis adequados de consistência interna (α=0,83), indicando que a medida pode ser utilizada em novas pesquisas nacionais. Palavras-chave: autoeficácia; escala; validação. ABSTRACT -Adaptation and validation of the New General Self-Efficacy ScaleSelf-efficacy is a person's belief in their own ability to organize and perform actions, influencing positive human experiences. It is essential to have instruments capable of adequately measuring this construct. This study aimed to adapt and validate the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE) for the Brazilian context, through two independent cross-sectional studies. In both studies, the sample consisted of adults from 18 to 66 years of age, with varying levels of education, who responded to the scale after the translation and adaptation of the original instrument items. The best solution found through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated the maintenance of 6 of the 8 original scale items in a single-factor structure. The final model presented satisfactory fit indices (χ 2 /gl=2.98; GFI=0.97; CFI=0.97; TLI=0.94; RMSEA=0.08), as well as adequate levels of internal consistency (α=0.83), indicating that this measure can be used in new national studies.
