Adaptação transcultural do Caring Ability Inventory para a língua portuguesa

Abstract

Objective: Describe the cross-cultural adaptation of the Caring Ability Inventory (CAI) and its validation in Portuguese. Methods: Methodological study developed in two stages, cross-cultural adaptation, analysis of its reliability (reproducibility and internal consistency), and validity (content and construct). The sample comprised 148 informal caregivers of cancer patients and 64 nurses from a public health service. Results: In the cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument, a satisfactory content validity was observed. After the pretest, the response scale was changed from seven to five points. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.76 and Cronbach's alpha 0.78. Factorial analysis showed that the instrument items did not remain grouped in the original structure. However, they showed a similar internal consistency. Conclusion: The Brazilian Portuguese version of CAI was shown to be reliable and valid, but new researches are needed to study the variations observed in the factorial distribution between the tool dimensions. ResumoObjetivo: Descrever a adaptação transcultural e validação para a língua portuguesa do Caring Ability Inventory (CAI). Métodos: Estudo metodológico desenvolvido em duas etapas, adaptação transcultural e análise da confiabilidade (reprodutibilidade e consistência interna) e validade (conteúdo e construto). A amostra foi composta por 148 cuidadores informais de pacientes com câncer e 64 enfermeiros de um serviço público de saúde. Resultados: Na adaptação transcultural do instrumento observou-se validade de conteúdo satisfatória. Após o pré-teste, alterou-se a escala de resposta de sete para cinco pontos. O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse foi de 0,76 e o Alpha de Cronbach de 0,78. A análise fatorial demonstrou que os itens do instrumento não se mantiveram agrupados na estrutura original, porém, mostraram consistência interna semelhante. Conclusão: A versão do CAI em língua portuguesa mostrou-se confiável e válida, porém novas pesquisas são necessárias para estudar as variações observadas na distribuição fatorial entre as dimensões do instrumento.

Caring ability of family caregivers of patients on cancer treatment: associated factors

“…The Spanish version reports Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.86 and a Pearson Correlation Coefficient of 0.66 10 . In the Portuguese version, the Cronbach’s Alpha obtained a result of 0.78 and the Correlation Coefficient a score of 0.76 7 . In the present study, the internal consistency obtained for the total CAI-BR was 0.60.…”

“…The original name for the Inventory and the acronym “CAI-BR” in English remained the same for the Brazilian version, according to the posture of the authors responsible for the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument 7 .…”

“…This scale comes from the Caring Ability Inventory (CAI) 6 , which was validated and translated into Spanish in 2005 10 and into Brazilian Portuguese in 2016 7 . The inventory consists of 37 items divided into three dimensions: knowledge (understanding of self and others), courage (ability to face the unknown) and patience (tolerance and persistence), with 14, 13 and 10 items, respectively.…”

“…Considering that articles on the translation and validation of the instrument used to evaluate the care ability, the Caring Ability Inventory (CAI) 7 into Brazilian Portuguese are recent and that the scientific production on this subject in our country is incipient, it was necessary to know the international researches evaluating this theme and using this instrument. To do so, we searched the bases Scielo, Lilacs, Ibecs, Medline, Pubmed and Scopus, using the terms “Caring Ability Inventory” OR “ Inventário de Habilidades de Cuidado ” OR “ Inventario de Habilidad de Cuidado ” in the field Words.…”

Construção Da Escala Brasileira De Distresse Moral Em Enfermeiros - Um Estudo Metodológico

“…The investment of nursing in this type of research is recent in Brazil, however there are already several instruments being used, some of which have already been validated by nurses, especially for clinical application, focused on objective or subjective phenomena of the patient, educational processes and experiences and attitudes of the professionals themselves. [20][21][22][23] In order to evaluate the priority of translation/ adaptation studies or development of instruments it is necessary to consider the specificity of the object of study. When it comes to work realities, problems or ethical-moral experiences extremely diverse in nature, adapting what has been produced in different scenarios can be drastically limited.…”
