Semantic equivalence in Brazilian Portuguese translation of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales—Revised

Abstract

Background: The Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales—Revised assesses adjustment to amputation and to using a prosthesis and considers psychosocial adjustment, activity restriction, satisfaction with the prosthesis, and other aspects related to health and physical activities, including residual and phantom limb pain. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the semantic equivalence of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales—Revised when translated into Brazilian Portuguese. Study design: Qualitative study. Methods: The process was conducted in five stages: translation of the questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese; development of a first consensual version in Brazilian Portuguese; appraisal of the translation by an expert committee; back-translation; and semantics assessment of the instrument. For semantic evaluation, the translated and adapted Brazilian Portuguese versions were applied to a convenience sample of 10 individuals. Results: The translated instrument showed a high degree of comprehension within the target population, as it was observed all questions from Part I and II were score 4 or higher on an Ordinal Scale ranging from 0 to 5. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales—Revised has a satisfactory verbal comprehension and is now ready for assessment of its psychometric properties. Clinical relevance The process of semantic evaluation of the Brazilian version of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales—Revised makes available to health professionals and researchers who work with people with amputations initial information on cross-cultural adaptation and degree of comprehension of this scale.

“…Pesquisas em Base de Dados (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS; WEB OF SCIENCE) revelam a existência de mais dois instrumentos que, entre outras dimensões avaliam a satisfação com a prótese: o OPUS, Orthotics Prosthetics Users Survey, 22 que avalia a função dos membros inferiores, qualidade de vida associada à saúde e satisfação com a prótese; e a TAPES, Trinity Amputation and Prothesis Experience Scale, 23,24 que avalia o ajustamento social, restrições nas atividades e satisfação com a prótese, e já se encontra traduzida e adaptada para a língua portuguesa do Brasil. 25,26 O SAT-PRO, que avalia de forma específica a satisfação com a prótese da população idosa com amputação de membro inferior, ainda não foi traduzido nem adaptado no Brasil.…”

Reflections and future directions for psychological science in Prosthetics and Orthotics International

“…During the same period, the term ‘coping’ appears in three abstracts and ‘adjustment’ (in the context of psychological adjustment) appears in six abstracts. Collectively these nine articles include two reports of psychometric properties of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales; 29,30 a systematic review of the psychosocial literature on Paralympic athletes; 31 and six articles reporting primary data. 32–37 Examples of articles reporting primary research data include one by Donovan-Hall et al 32 examining the effects of the appearance of a prosthesis on social behaviour, social discomfort and psychological well-being in 11 amputees taking delivery of a prosthesis with a silicone cover; one by Bent et al 33 that combined interviews and questionnaires to examine health and psychosocial issues among people living with the consequences of thalidomide; and one by Amorelli et al 34 describing findings from focus groups with people with amputations and healthcare professionals that were designed to shape the content of a peer support programme called Amputees Unanimous.…”
