Objective The objective of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the NutriQoL® into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The NutriQoL® comprises 17 questions that evaluate the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The methodological procedures included the translation from the Spanish version into Portuguese by two translators, synthesis of the translations, back translation, evaluation by a committee of judges composed of 24 individuals in which a content validity index > 0.78 was considered acceptable, and generation of the pre-final version. A pre-test to analyze its semantic equivalence was administered to 12 patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The final version of the questionnaire was then prepared. Results A summary version of the questionnaire was obtained using two versions of the translation. Both back translations were identical for 73.6% of sentences (n=25). Twenty-four volunteers were included in the committee of judges. The content validity index was 0.88±0.11, and 14.7% (n=5) of questions had a low content validity index and were thus reformulated. In the pre-test, 35.3% (n=12) of items obtained low levels of understanding and required adjustment. In the preparation of the final version, the inconsistencies of the items mentioned were corrected and/or adjusted. Conclusion After completing the methodological procedures, a Brazilian Portuguese version of the NutriQoL® questionnaire was obtained. Following the validation process, it can be used by dieticians and other health professionals to assess the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy to contribute to improvements in care practices.
A supressão do pensamento sobre a alimentação pode ser considerada um efeito colateral de dietas restritivas que influenciam o comportamento alimentar e o funcionamento cognitivo dos indivíduos. Neste contexto, este estudo visa sistematizar os dados relacionados com a supressão de pensamentos em indivíduos e o seu efeito no comportamento alimentar. Realizou-se uma revisão da literatura de artigos científicos publicados nas seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciElo), Medical Literature Analisys and Retrivial System Online (MEDLINE), Scopus e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). A busca ocorreu utilizando os descritores: ''thought suppression'', ''food'', ''cravin'', ''food behavio'' e ''dietary restraint''. Os artigos foram selecionados em duas etapas e organizados com as informações: autor e ano de publicação, público-alvo, amostra, metodologia e principais resultados e conclusões. Os resultados apontam os reflexos negativos da influência da supressão do pensamento sobre o comportamento alimentar principalmente no gênero feminino, praticantes de dietas restritivas e indivíduos com excesso de peso e obesidade. Tais aspectos negativos envolvem episódios de compulsão alimentar, após um determinado tempo de restrição alimentar. Sendo assim, a supressão de pensamentos está fortemente associada ao desenvolvimento de compulsão alimentar e são necessários mais estudos que comprovem a eficácia na utilização de métodos como questionários validados para diagnóstico precoce e técnicas como o ''mildfulness'' e outras ainda pouco divulgadas que objetivam o desvio desses pensamentos.
