Abstract EN
Objective.
To adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the SCHFI v 6.2.
Methods.
With the approval of the original author, we conducted a complete cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument (translation, synthesis, back translation, synthesis of back translation, expert committee review, and pretesting).
The adapted version was named Brazilian version of the self-care of heart failure index v 6.2.
The psychometric properties assessed were face validity and content validity (by expert committee review), construct validity (convergent validity and confirmatory factor analysis), and reliability.
Results.
Face validity and content validity were indicative of semantic, idiomatic, experimental, and conceptual equivalence.
Convergent validity was demonstrated by a significant though moderate correlation (r=−0.51) on comparison with equivalent question scores of the previously validated Brazilian European heart failure self-care behavior scale.
Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original three-factor model as having the best fit, although similar results were obtained for inadequate fit indices.
The reliability of the instrument, as expressed by Cronbach’s alpha, was 0.40, 0.82, and 0.93 for the self-care maintenance, self-care management, and self-care confidence scales, respectively.
Conclusion.
The SCHFI v 6.2 was successfully adapted for use in Brazil.
Nevertheless, further studies should be carried out to improve its psychometric properties.
