Versión brasileña de la escala Pasero Opioid-Induced Sedation Scale: estudio de adaptación transcultural

ABSTRACT

Objective:

Perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the Pasero Opioid-induced Sedation Scale to the Brazilian setting.

Method:

This is a methodological study using Beaton’s framework, which consists in six stages: translation, synthesis of translations, re-translation, expert committee, pre-test, and sending the adapted version of the instrument to the author of the original. The study was carried out from April to December 2021. The research was conducted in a private hospitalin the city of São Paulo, in the adult hospitalization and critical care units. It was approved by the research ethics committee.

Results:

After translation, translation synthesis and back-translation steps, the version was evaluated by the expert committee, requiring two rounds to obtain acceptable CVI values above 0.80. In the pre-test phase, the scale was well understood, with a CVI of 0.98.

Conclusion:

The scale was adapted for the Brazilian context; however, further studies will be needed to analyze validity and reliability evidence.
