Validation of the Comply with Post-Exposure Management Among Health Care Workers Instrument for Brazil

Abstract

Objective:To validate the Comply with post-exposure management among health care workers instrument for Nursing in Brazil. Method: A methodological study carried out with 137 nursing professionals exposed to biological material. The existence of floor and ceiling effects was analyzed, evaluating reliability by the internal consistency of the items and test-retest reproducibility. The construct validity was analyzed by the multitraitmultimethod analysis. Results: Ceiling effects were found in two subscales. The result of the internal consistency of four subscales varied between 0.81 and 0.91. The results were considered satisfactory, while two subscales presented an unsatisfactory result (0.50 and 0.37). An evaluation of the measurement stability obtained positive results in relation to the statistical significance, with Intraclass Correlation Coefficient values between the two measurements ranging from 0.301 to 0.727; the validity of a convergent and divergent construct was confirmed by multitrait-multimethod analysis, except for the Attitude subscale, which presented unsatisfactory values. Conclusion: The instrument presents satisfactory results for validity and reliability, except for the Attitude dimension.

Educational technology for people living with HIV: validation study

“…A study carried out to validate a surgical safety checklist emphasized the reliability of a validated instrument as something that contributes with the professional in all areas of knowledge, allowing the recognition of avoidable risk situations, educational actions, and valuing the management to whom it is intended. Thus, reliability reflects the credibility of the validated instrument (20) . Still on the degree of adequacy around most frequent answers, Kruskal-Wallis tested hypotheses H 0 and H 1 with a significance level of 95%.…”

Adaptação cultural e validação da Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS) para uso no Brasil - Fase I

“…O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar a adaptação cultural da WBIS e verificar as suas propriedades psicométricas com a finalidade de disponibilizar um instrumento que possibilite a mensuração do estigma internalizado do peso entre os brasileiros. Para a adaptação cultural foram utilizadas as etapas metodológicas recomendadas por Beaton et al (2000) e Ferrer et al (1996) (XAVIER et al, 2011;PELEGRINO et al, 2012;PRUDÊNCIO et al, 2013;JANSEN et al, 2016). Em relação à fidedignidade da escala, os achados demonstraram que a WBIS adaptada apresentou valor satisfatório para o alfa de Cronbach, denotando boa consistência interna (TERWEE et al, 2007).…”
