Translation, adaptation, and validation of the Calidad de la relación con su persona cercana Scale

Abstract

Objective: to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Calidad de la relación con su persona cercana Scale into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: a methodological study, whose steps were: initial translation; translation synthesis; back-translation; pre-final version development by a panel of nine experts; pre-final version content validity, with 14 judges; pre-test with 30 pregnant women; reliability analysis; sending the translated version to the two authors of the original instrument. Results: outliers were reviewed and adjusted during translation and adaptation. The scale achieved conceptual and idiomatic equivalence. Content validity index was 0.92 and Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.869. The general score in the application ranged from 59 to 124, with an average of 94.4. Conclusion: after translation and adaptation, the scale was entitled Qualidade da Relação com a Pessoa Próxima, achieving semantic and idiomatic equivalence.

“…10 The adapted scale, both in the Spanish version (Autonomy and Relatedness Inventory -Spanish version) and in the Brazilian version (Quality of the relationship with the people close to us) was maintained with 32 items and produced the same factorial structure as the ARI -English, with two dimensions: one positive and one negative. 9 In order to collect data, the coordinators of the health units selected for the study were first contacted by telephone to obtain the dates and times of the unit's agenda for care of pregnant women, since the approach occurred concomitantly to their attendance for care…”

“…To calculate the total score, the values corresponding to the numbers marked were added, and the cumulative score can vary from 0 to 128, meaning that the higher the score, the greater the positive perception of the relationship with the person. 9,10 The data collected were systematized in a spreadsheet matrixed by the multicenter study, directly in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 23.0, with double typing and conference. Descriptive analysis, central tendency (median and mean) and variability (standard deviation), according to each variable (categorical or continuous) were performed.…”
