“…In addition to a linguistically accurate translation of the CAPS-5 that would correspond to the official Dutch translation of the DSM-5 ensuring content validity, it was deemed important to create a translation that would optimally fit into clinical and research practice. This led to the development and realization of a novel stepped crowd-translation process to engender the Dutch CAPS-5, which involved a crowd of Dutch psychotrauma professionals (clinicians as well as researchers) and was based on the principles of a cross-cultural adaptation process (Beaton et al, 2000) as well as the Delphi method (Dalkey, 1969; Dalkey & Helmer, 1963; Hsu & Sandford, 2007) for consensus-building by expert-rounds. This process encompassed six translation steps that were carried out to develop the Dutch version of the CAPS-5 (Figure 1).…”

“…This paper describes an innovative approach of translation to ensure cross-cultural validity of diagnostic instruments using a combination of principles of a cross-cultural adaptation process (Beaton et al, 2000) and the Delphi method (Dalkey, 1969; Dalkey & Helmer, 1963; Hsu & Sandford, 2007). By involving multiple experts in different rounds the employed approach of translation was instrumental in achieving an instrument that was broadly supported among experts.…”

Background: In 2013, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale, the golden standard to assess PTSD, was adapted to the DSM-5 (CAPS-5).Objective: This project aimed to develop a clinically relevant Dutch translation of the CAPS-5 and to investigate its psychometric properties.Method: We conducted a stepped translation including Delphi rounds with a crowd of 44 Dutch psychotrauma experts and five senior psychotrauma experts. Using partial crowd-translations, two professional translations and the official Dutch translation of the DSM-5, each senior expert aggregated one independent translation. Consensus was reached plenary. After back-translation, comparison with the original CAPS-5 and field testing, a last round with the senior experts resulted in the final version. After implementation clinicians conducted CAPS-5 interviews with 669 trauma-exposed individuals referred for specialized diagnostic assessment. Reliability of the Dutch CAPS-5 was investigated through internal consistency and interrater reliability analyses, and construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).Results: CAPS-5 total severity score showed high internal consistency (α = .90) and interrater reliability (ICC = .98, 95% CI: .94–.99). CAPS-5 diagnosis showed modest interrater reliability (kappa = .59, 95% CI: .20–.98). CFA with alternative PTSD models revealed adequate support for the DSM-5 four-factor model, but a six-factor (Anhedonia) model fit the data best.Conclusions: The Dutch CAPS-5 is a carefully translated instrument with adequate psychometric properties. Current results add to the growing support for more refined (six and seven) factor models for DSM-5 PTSD indicating that the validity and clinical implications of these models should be objective of further research.

“…The technique is designed as a group exercise that aims to achieve a convergence of opinion that may prove very useful. [8][9][10][11][15][16][17][18][19] The interactions of experts may lead to a reduction in individual bias. The Delphi method is a wellrecognized tool for solving problems in healthcare, and it is increasingly being used to reach consensus around many topics in medicine, including education, development of clinical guidelines, and prioritization of research topics.…”

O objetivo foi adequar um instrumento de monitoramento da higienização das mãos dos profissionais de saúde de um hospital do Rio de Janeiro. Métodos: um questionário foi aplicado aos auditores que avaliam o desempenho da política de qualidade do hospital para verificar a adequação de um instrumento de verificação da prática de higienização das mãos. Os achados deste questionário e os dados do levantamento na literatura -sobre a segurança do paciente, infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde e instrumentos de monitoramento -possibilitaram a criação de um novo instrumento, que foi submetido ao julgamento de especialistas, usando a técnica de consenso Delphi. Resultados: em duas rodadas foi obtido um consenso dos especialistas. As questões que não atingiram 75% de concordância foram modificadas. Conclusão: O novo instrumento validado por especialistas permite a avaliação e monitoramento de implantação do protocolo de higienização das mãos, comparação entre sistemas e avanços nas metodologias e processos de trabalho, permitindo que sejam cada vez mais seguros. Descritores: Segurança do paciente. Infecção hospitalar. Higiene das mãos. Técnica Delfos.Background and Objectives: Despite the presence of mandatory indicators in the hand hygiene protocols present in Brazil's National Patient Safety Program, monitoring instruments were not recommended, with indicators that evaluate the structural, process and outcome components that allow periodic analysis and construction of improvement actions in the prevention of control of infections related to health care. The objective was to adapt an instrument to monitor health professionals hands hygiene in a high complexity hospital of Rio de Janeiro. Methods:a questionnaire was applied to auditors who evaluate the performance of the hospital's quality policy to verify the suitability of an instrument to verify the practice of hand hygiene. The findings of this questionnaire and the survey data in the literature -on patient safety, health care related infections and monitoring instruments -enabled the creation of a new instrument, which was submitted to the judgment of specialists, using the Delphi consensus technique. Results: in only two rounds, a consensus of experts was obtained, allowing the construction of a new hand hygiene monitoring instrument. Issues that did not reach 75% agreement were ...
