ABSTRACT Objective: To develop, adapt and validate an instrument named “CSII – Brazil” to assess users’ conceptual and procedural knowledge of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion systems. Materials and methods: Methodological and exploratory study developed in three stages: a) instrument development; b) content validation and cultural adaptation (evaluation by a committee of experts and pre-test with CSII users); c) psychometric validation through instrument application in a sample of 60 patients by means of the web tool e-Surv. Internal consistency and reproducibility […]

OBJECTIVES: To translate into Portuguese, perform cross-cultural adaptation and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire – SDSCA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The process followed the international guidelines for the adaptation and evaluation of psychometric properties. The Cronbach’s alpha (?) was determined to evaluate the internal consistency (inter-itens correlation) and the reliability (test-retest and inter-evaluator correlation). RESULTS: The inter-itens correlation showed values of ? = 0.09 to ? = 0.86. In the test-retest evaluation, the […]
