Adaptação transcultural e propriedades psicométricas preliminares do Affective Reactivity Index em jovens brasileiros: implicações para a irritabilidade medida pelo Cross-cultural adaptation and preliminary psychometric properties of the Affective Reactivity Index in Brazilian Youth: implications for DSM-5 measured irritability Abstract Objective: To describe the cross-cultural adaptation of the Affective Reactivity Index (ARI) to Brazilian Portuguese and to investigate preliminary psychometric properties of the adapted version. Methods: Cross-cultural adaptation was based on the investigation of the theoretical and operational equivalences of the original ARI in the Brazilian context, followed by a process of translation, back-translation, and review by a committee of experts. Data analysis was carried out in a community sample of 133 schoolchildren aged 8 to 17 years to investigate the following characteristics of the ARI: 1) factor structure; 2) internal consistency; 3) construct validity comparing differential relationships between irritability and anxiety dimensions and impairment; and 4) item response theory (IRT) parameters. Results: A final Brazilian Portuguese version of the instrument was defined and is presented. Internal consistency was good, and our analysis supported the original single-factor structure of the ARI. Correlations of the ARI with distress-related anxiety dimensions were higher than with phobic-related anxiety dimensions, supporting its construct validity. In addition, higher ARI scores were associated with higher irritability-related impairment. IRT analysis underscored frequency of loss of temper as essential to inform about pathological states of irritability. Conclusion:The Brazilian Portuguese version of the ARI seems to be very similar to the original instrument in terms of conceptual, item, semantic, and operational equivalence. Our preliminary analysis replicates and extends previous evidence confirming promising psychometric properties for the ARI. Keywords: Affective Reactivity Index, irritability, cross-cultural adaptation, psychometrics, item response theory. ResumoObjetivo: Descrever a adaptação transcultural do Affective Reactivity Index (ARI) para o português do Brasil e investigar propriedades psicométricas preliminares da versão adaptada. Método: A adaptação transcultural foi baseada na investigação das equivalências teórica e operacional da versão original do ARI no contexto brasileiro, seguida do processo de tradução, retrotradução e revisão por comitê de especialistas. A análise dos dados foi realizada em uma amostra comunitária de 133 escolares com idade entre 8 e 17 anos para investigar as seguintes características do ARI: 1) estrutura fatorial; 2) consistência interna; 3) validade do construto, comparando as relações diferenciais entre irritabilidade e as dimensões de ansiedade e prejuízo; e 4) parâmetros de teoria da resposta ao item (TRI). Resultados: Uma versão final em português do Brasil do instrumento foi definida e é apresentada. A consistência interna fo...

“…Para esse fim, seguiram-se os procedimentos sugeridos por diferentes autores da área, encontrando-se o CVC, coeficiente kappa, estatísticas descritivas e indicações semântico-linguísticas que nortearam as mudanças necessárias até a versão final do instrumento (Beaton, Bombardier, Guillemin, & Ferraz 2000;Hambleton, 2005;Gjersing, Caplehorn, & Clausen, 2010).…”

Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS): Adaptação e Evidências de Validade

et al. 2016

ResumoAs funções executivas são habilidades que permitem um indivíduo direcionar seu funcionamento cognitivo, comportamental e emocional a metas. Para avaliá-las existem poucos instrumentos ecologicamente válidos. Para superar essa limitação, foi desenvolvida a Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS). O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar e investigar evidências de validade de conteúdo da BADS para o contexto brasileiro. Foram realizadas três traduções do instrumento, sintetizadas em uma única versão e encaminhada a três juízes. Posteriormente, a BADS foi submetida a um grupo focal (5 adultos saudáveis) e estudo-piloto (amostra clínica com 40 pacientes neurológicos, portadores de Parkinson). O cálculo do coeficiente de validade de conteúdo total foi considerado aceitável (> 0,80); e a média do coeficiente kappa para os subtestes foi de 0,55, e para o questionário foi de 0,75, moderado e sólido, respectivamente. Os dados sugerem que a BADS está apta a ser utilizada em novos estudos para a investigação de outras propriedades psicométricas, como validade de construto, fidedignidade e normatização. Palavras-chave: funções executivas, síndrome disexecutiva, validade Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS): Adaptation and Validity Evidence AbstractExecutive functions are skills that allow an individual to direct their cognitive, behavioral and emotional functioning to goal achievement. In order to evaluate them, there are few ecologically valid instruments. Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) was developed to overcome this limitation. The objective of this study was to adapt and investigate BADS content validity for the Brazilian context. Three translations of the instrument from English into Portuguese were done, and were later synthesized into a single version to be sent to three judges. Subsequently, BADS was applied to a focus group (5 healthy adults) and a pilot study (40 clinical neurological patients, with Parkinson's Disease). The calculation of the total content validity coefficient was considered acceptable (> 0.80); and the average coefficient kappa subtests was 0.55 and the survey was 0.75, moderate and solid, respectively. The data suggest that BADS can be used in further studies to investigate other psychometric properties as construct validity, reliability and standardization.

“…The translation and adaptation of the cPTCI were based on guidelines of the International Test Commission and previous literature [12][13][14][15][16] and followed five steps: 1) translation and back-translation; 2) expert committee's evaluation; 3) pretest in target population; and 4) final back-translation and author's evaluation.…”

Introduction: Experiencing a traumatic event is a risk factor for the development of mental illness, especially posttraumatic stress disorder. A child's appraisals of a traumatic event may play a prominent role in the development or maintenance of the disorder. Therefore, subjective responses should be evaluated to understand the impact of a traumatic event on a child's life. This study translated and adapted the Child Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory (cPTCI) for use in linguistic and cultural contexts in Brazil. Methods: The process included translation, back-translation, language expert evaluation and expert committee's evaluation. Results: Content validity index scores were good for all dimensions after evaluation by two judges and one reformulation. The back-translation of the final version also showed that the cPTCI items in Brazilian Portuguese maintained the same meanings of the original in English. This version was tested in a sample of the target population, and all the items were above the cut-off point (minimum = 3.6; maximum = 4.0). Conclusions: This study was successful in producing a Brazilian version of the cPTCI. Further studies are underway to examine the reliability and the factorial and concurrent validity of cPTCI subscales.
