“…As stated by Lin et al [ 23 ], by analysing the conceptualisation of the dimension “Organizational Resources”, it is understandable that access to material resources and services is not as crucial as “Nurse Manager Support” in terms of satisfaction. In all validations of the scale [ 18 , 23 , 24 , 30 ], this is the dimension with the greatest weight in the nurses’ perception of their workload.…”

(1) Background: In Portugal, there is no scale to assess nurses’ satisfaction with their workload. Therefore, this study aimed to culturally/linguistically adapt and validate the IWPS-R scale, with 29 items, to produce a Portuguese version. (2) Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in two phases: translation and adaptation of the IWPS-R into Portuguese, following the steps recommended by Beaton; and evaluation of its psychometric properties in a non-probability sample of 323 nurses working in a hospital centre of reference in Portugal. (3) Results: The final scale obtained a total explained variance of 62.3% and a KMO of 0.88. The reliability was assured through the determination of an internal consistency of 0.88. The construct validity was determined through confirmatory factor analysis. The factorial model presented a good quality fit (X2/df = 2.118; CFI = 0.925; GFI = 0.900; RMSEA = 0.059; p (RMSEA ≤ 0.05) = 0.041; RMR = 0.078; MECVI = 1.525; SRMR = 0.0631) with five factors. (4) Conclusions: The Individual Workload Perception Scale-Revised-Portuguese version (IWPS-R-PT) is a 21-item tool with five dimensions: Nurse Manager Support, Team Support, Workload, Organizational Resources and Intent to Stay. The IWPS-R-PT was found suitable for hospital-based nurses and may be useful in other settings where nurses work.

“…Healthcare organizations aim to deliver the best quality care for patients’ satisfaction [ 19 , 20 ]; however, despite the amount of instruments that assess the nursing care quality in specific specialty units, instruments that gauge patients’ perceived quality in oncology settings are still scarce. Only two have been found in the literature—the “Quality of Oncology Nursing Care Scale” [ 21 ] and the “Oncology Patients’ Perceptions of the Quality of Nursing Care Scale” [ 22 ].…”

Background: Quality assessment in oncology nursing care has been a growing topic in the literature, gaining relevance as oncological nursing care becomes more complex as the science progresses. However, there are no instruments that assess the perception of the quality of oncology nursing care from the point of view of patients for the Portuguese population. Thus, the cross-cultural translation and validation of the Quality of Oncology Nursing Care Scale (QONCS) was performed for the Portuguese context. This instrument allows nurses to assess patients’ self-perception of the quality of nursing care provided in an oncological setting. It also allows researchers to compare the results obtained internationally with the application of this scale. Methods: This is a methodological study, with two distinct phases: the first corresponded to the translation and cultural adaptation of the scale to the Portuguese context, and the second consisted of the psychometric validation of the QONCS, which included factor analysis and the evaluation of the psychometric properties of the instrument. We obtained responses from 402 patients from a Portuguese oncology hospital. Results: The Portuguese version of the Quality of Oncology Nursing Care Scale (QONCS_PT) consists of 34 items inserted into a tetra-factorial model, which explains a total variance of the instrument of 69.8%. A Cronbach’s alpha of 0.93 was obtained for the complete instrument. Conclusions: QONCS_PT has a competent and reliable structure. The scale’s validity was assured and can be used in the Portuguese population, as it is useful for direct care provision but also for researchers and managers.

“…8 Measurement instruments can include questionnaires, tests, rating scales and self-reports, 9 the latter being also known as Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs). 10 In recent years we have conducted several cross-cultural validation studies of different measuring instruments, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] which constitute a significant contribution to the development of experimental designs in the field of nursing and health services research. Several studies across different scientific areas are characterized by the use of specific terminology and by seeking to archive various equivalences across cultures.…”

Cross-cultural validation of self-reported measurement instruments for research is a long and complex process, which involves specific risks of bias that could affect the research process and results. Furthermore, it requires researchers to have a wide range of technical knowledge about the translation, adaptation and pre-test aspects, their purposes and options, about the different psychometric properties, and the required evidence for their assessment and knowledge about the quantitative data processing and analysis using statistical software. This article aimed: 1) identify all guidelines and recommendations for translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation within the healthcare sciences; 2) describe the methodological approaches established in these guidelines for conducting translation, adaptation, and cross-cultural validation; and 3) provide a practical guideline featuring various methodological options for novice researchers involved in translating, adapting, and validating measurement instruments. Forty-two guidelines on translation, adaptation, or cross-cultural validation of measurement instruments were obtained from “CINAHL with Full Text” (via EBSCO) and “MEDLINE with Full Text”. A content analysis was conducted to identify the similarities and differences in the methodological approaches recommended. Bases on these similarities and differences, we proposed an eight-step guideline that includes: a) forward translation; 2) synthesis of translations; 3) back translation; 4) harmonization; 5) pre-testing; 6) field testing; 7) psychometric validation, and 8) analysis of psychometric properties. It is a practical guideline because it provides extensive and comprehensive information on the methodological approaches available to researchers. This is the first methodological literature review carried out in the healthcare sciences regarding the methodological approaches recommended by existing guidelines.
