“…Many researchers have stressed the importance of a methodologically sound process to derive an appropriate and cross-culturally valid instrument in different languages (Beaton, Bombardier, Guillemin, & Ferraz, 2000; Brislin, 1970; Brislin, Lonner, & Thorndike, 1973; Jones & Kay, 1992; Maneesriwongul & Dixon, 2004; Sousa & Rojjanasrirat, 2011; Sperber, 2004). According to Beaton et al (2000) a proper adaptation process at least involves the following steps: multiple translations in the target language (TL), synthesis of the translations, back-translations to the source language (SL), consultation of an expert committee review, a test of the pre-final version, and submission of the documentation to the authors of the original instrument.…”

Background: In 2013, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale, the golden standard to assess PTSD, was adapted to the DSM-5 (CAPS-5).Objective: This project aimed to develop a clinically relevant Dutch translation of the CAPS-5 and to investigate its psychometric properties.Method: We conducted a stepped translation including Delphi rounds with a crowd of 44 Dutch psychotrauma experts and five senior psychotrauma experts. Using partial crowd-translations, two professional translations and the official Dutch translation of the DSM-5, each senior expert aggregated one independent translation. Consensus was reached plenary. After back-translation, comparison with the original CAPS-5 and field testing, a last round with the senior experts resulted in the final version. After implementation clinicians conducted CAPS-5 interviews with 669 trauma-exposed individuals referred for specialized diagnostic assessment. Reliability of the Dutch CAPS-5 was investigated through internal consistency and interrater reliability analyses, and construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).Results: CAPS-5 total severity score showed high internal consistency (α = .90) and interrater reliability (ICC = .98, 95% CI: .94–.99). CAPS-5 diagnosis showed modest interrater reliability (kappa = .59, 95% CI: .20–.98). CFA with alternative PTSD models revealed adequate support for the DSM-5 four-factor model, but a six-factor (Anhedonia) model fit the data best.Conclusions: The Dutch CAPS-5 is a carefully translated instrument with adequate psychometric properties. Current results add to the growing support for more refined (six and seven) factor models for DSM-5 PTSD indicating that the validity and clinical implications of these models should be objective of further research.

“…4,24,28 There are several articles in the literature with excellent accounts of theoretical approaches and practical proposals, which on the whole have this expanded vision. 3,4,9,19,24,28,35,46,59 Nonetheless, there is no consensus regarding the strategies to use, which makes operational synthesis a mosaic of procedures originating from diverse sources. However, driven by the present article authors' own practices, choices are made using one of the possible models as a guide.…”

Operacionalização de adaptação transcultural de instrumentos de aferição usados em epidemiologia

The objective of the article was to offer an operational framework to assess cross cultural adaptation processes of instruments developed in other linguistic, social and cultural contexts. It covers the need for using robust measurement tools; the importance of 'universal' instruments that permit cross cultural fi ne-tuning; and stresses the need for adapting existent instruments rather than developing new ones. Existing controversies and proposals for different procedures in current literature are reviewed and a model for adapting instruments is presented. This synthesis covers the operational steps involved in evaluating concepts, semantic and operational items, and presents psychometric analysis guidelines that underlay an evaluation of measurement equivalence. Finally, the need for adequately controlling the quality of information presented in epidemiological studies, including a meticulous cross-cultural adaptation of research agendas, is reinforced.

“…Test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient, one-week interval) was 0.95 for leisure time PA and inter-rater reliability has ranged from 0.92 (household activities) to 0.99 (exercise, leisure time and total). PADS was translated and adapted into Swedish in collaboration with its developer (JH Rimmer) using a forward-backward translation and monolingual test (29).…”
