Adaptação transcultural do questionário francês individual de opinião sobre o uso do checklist de cirurgia segura

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to describe the cross cultural adaptation process of the Individual Opinion Questionnaire on the use of the Checklist (QIOSC) of safe surgery for the Brazilian context. Methodology: Five steps were followed, according to guidelines for validation studies in the health area, and two more steps to assess reliability: test and retest. The test and retest involved the participation of 35 surgical center professionals, both from the nursing and medical staff. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: The two translated versions (T1 and T2) of the QIOSC corresponded only with regard to the Likert response options, thus being translated. The 36 items, although translated with equivalent meaning, presented atleastone grammatical or semantic distinction between T1 and T2. Conclusion: The present study contributed to providing an understandable and viable instrument for self-application to a large number of users to assess the opinion of the use of the checklist in Brazil.
