Tradução e adaptação para o português da Escala de Compulsão Alimentar Periódica

Abstract

. *O termo da língua inglesa binge eating não tem tradução exata em português. Adotou-se a tradução "compulsão periódica", da versão para o português do DSM-IV, acrescentando a palavra "alimentar" para que ficasse explícito tratar-se de comportamento alimentar. Resumo Descritores Abstract KeywordsIntrodução/Objetivos: Descreve-se o processo de tradução e adaptação, para a língua portuguesa, da Binge Eating Scale (BES) -Escala de Compulsão Alimentar Periódica (ECAP) -, que avalia a gravidade da compulsão alimentar periódica em indivíduos obesos. O objetivo foi traduzir, adaptar e avaliar a aplicabilidade da versão para o português da ECAP. Métodos: Após cuidadoso processo de tradução e adaptação para a língua portuguesa, foi obtida uma versão final da ECAP. Para avaliar sua aplicabilidade, foi realizado um pré-teste em um grupo de 32 pacientes obesos com transtorno da compulsão alimentar periódica (TCAP) e que procuravam tratamento para emagrecer. Resultados: Os pacientes compreenderam adequadamente os itens da ECAP. A média de pontuação da ECAP nos pacientes obesos com TCAP foi de 31,2 (±5,8). Conclusão: A versão final para o português da ECAP foi considerada adequada para uso clínico.Compulsão alimentar. Transtorno da compulsão alimentar periódica. Transtornos alimentares. Obesidade.

The objective was to translate, adapt and evaluate the applicability of the Portuguese BES version. Methods: A final Portuguese BES version was obtained after a careful translation and adaptation process. To verify the applicability of the instrument, a pre-test was conducted in a group of 32 obese patients with binge eating disorder (BED) seeking treatment for obesity. Results: All BES items were well understood and the mean BES scores of the obese binge eaters sample was 31,2 (±5,8). Conclusion:The Portuguese final version of BES was considered suitable for clinical purposes.Binge eating. Binge eating disorder. Eating disorders. Obesity.

Prevalência de compulsão alimentar entre universitárias de diferentes áreas de estudo

“…3 Despite the measurements of weight and height not having been verified when the study was carried out, but reported by the students, which could be considered a limiting factor for the data reliability, a study performed with 1,157 men and women, aged between 15-64 years, showed that there is an association between the self-reported weight and the weight measured by the researchers. 23 Another aspect that should be stressed as limitation was the divergence in the proportions of losses between the fields of study, once the students of humanities and exact sciences seem to have had less understanding or involvement with the objective of the study.…”

“…The instrument used to evaluate BE was the Binge Eating Scale (BES), which was translated and validated into Portuguese. 3 Besides the 16 questions that were part of the BES, another question was added to evaluate the student's perception with regard to the occurrence of moments of excessive food intake in a short period of time. If the student answered yes, there was an option to report the frequency: once a month, twice a month, once a week, twice or more times a week.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] When the BE episodes occur at least 2 days a week over a 6-month period, associated with some characteristics of loss of control, and are not followed by compensatory behaviors oriented to losing weight, recent studies indicate the presence of a syndrome called binge eating disorder (BED). 2,3,[6][7][8][9][10] Nevertheless, it should be highlighted that this status does not have a defined diagnosis and is described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) as an unspecified eating disorder (ED); therefore, more studies are needed to clarify this situation. 11 The association between body image and BE is not entirely clear.…”

“…15 Several studies have found an association between overweight or obesity and the presence of BE, showing values ranging from 15 to 63% in obese women who seek weight reduction programs. 2,3,5,[16][17][18][19] The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of BE among female university students in different fields of study (exact sciences, health and humanities) and its association with body mass index (BMI) and age.…”

“…In this study, the cutoff point C12 was used to define depression. Binge eating disorder was assessed by the Portuguese version of the BES [29]. This is a 16-item questionnaire whose questions are based on behavioral and the emotional characteristics (guilt or shame).…”
