Adolescent Assertiveness Assessment Scale: Evidence of Content Validity / Escala de Habilidades Assertivas para Adolescentes: Evidências de Validade de Conteúdo

Abstract This study aimed to present the process of elaborating the Adolescent Assertiveness Assessment Scale (AAA-S). Based on the analysis of judges, evidence of the validity of the content of the instrument was established, assessing the criteria of relevance, pertinence, and clarity of the items. In addition, a study with a sample of the instrument's target population showed good indices for the comprehensibility of the items (semantic validity). Based on these results, the illustrated version of the instrument was elaborated, which underpins the general scope of the psychometric study on the construct validity and accuracy of AAA-S and sheds light on the development of new studies on the factorial validity of the instrument.

Validation of the Cognitive Fusion Scale in Cuban adults with anxiety symptoms / Validación de la Escala de Fusión Cognitiva en adultos cubanos con síntomas de ansiedad

ABSTRACT Background: Cognitive Fusion (CF) is a psychological problem that is a fundamental concept within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The Cognitive Fusion Scale (CFS), which is used to measure this concept, has not been adapted or validated in Cuba. Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the CFA in adults with anxiety symptoms. Method: Qualitative and quantitative techniques were combined: Expert interview, correlation and concordance coefficients and factor analysis. Result: The CFQ was adapted from a linguistic and cultural perspective. Nine experts were consulted and consensus was assessed using the content validity coefficient of appropriateness (0.97). During piloting with 35 people, the test achieved a Cronbach's α coefficient (0.927). When the adapted test was applied to 106 adults with anxiety symptoms, a Cronbach's α coefficient (0.869) was achieved, demonstrating the homogeneity of the test. The exploratory factor analysis (KMO = 0.820, X2 (338) = 21, p < 0.001) showed item ambiguities of less than 0.6 and factor loadings of more than 0.3. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit (X2 (14) = 45.1, p < 0.001). A low and statistically significant correlation (Rho = 0.216, p < 0.05) was found in relation to IDARE (state). Conclusion: The adapted CFQ was valid in terms of content, showed high reliability values and its one-dimensionality was verified. The adapted instrument shows a correlation between FC and anxiety symptoms. An instrument like this could improve the diagnosis of CF, as well as increase the quality of care for the patient.

RESUMEN Introducción: La Fusión Cognitiva (FC) es un problema psicológico que constituye un concepto fundamental dentro de la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso. La Escala de Fusión Cognitiva (EFC) utilizada para medir este concepto no ha sido adaptada ni validada en Cuba. Objetivo: Evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la EFC en personas adultas con síntomas de ansiedad. Método: Se combinaron técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas: consulta a expertos, coeficientes de correlación y concordancia y análisis factorial. Resultados: Se adaptó la EFC desde una perspectiva lingüística y cultural. Se consultaron a 9 expertos y se evaluó el consenso mediante el coeficiente de validez de contenido sobre la suficiencia (0,97). Durante el pilotaje con 35 personas, el test alcanzó un coeficiente α de Cronbach (0,927). Al aplicar el test adaptado en 106 adultos con síntomas de ansiedad se obtuvo un coeficiente α de Cronbach (0,869), lo que evidencia la homogeneidad del test. El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio (KMO = 0,820, X2(338) = 21, p < 0,001) alcanzó unicidades de los ítems menores que 0,6 y cargas factoriales mayores que 0,3. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio mostró un buen ajuste del modelo (X2(14) = 45,1, p < 0,001). Se encontró una correlación baja y estadísticamente significativa (Rho = 0,216, p < 0,05) respecto al IDARE (estado). Conclusión: La EFC adaptada fue válida en tanto contenido, mostró altos valores de fiabilidad y se verificó su unidimensionalidad. El instrumento adaptado muestra una correlación entre la FC y los síntomas de ansiedad. Contar con un instrumento como este podría mejorar el diagnóstico de la FC, así como incrementar la calidad del tratamiento que se le brinda al paciente.

Malay-Translated Version and Content Validation of Parent Goals for Shared Reading Questionnaire (Versi Terjemahan Bahasa Melayu dan Pengesahan Kandungan bagi Parent Goals for Shared Reading Questionnaire) / Jurnal Sains Kesihatan Malaysia

@#The interaction between adults and children during shared reading contributes to the conversation and reading in hand and makes the activity interactive. It is, therefore, imperative to understand parents’ goals for shared reading with their children as it will influence their behaviour and, in turn, affect their children’s development of language and literacy skills. In Malaysia, no local psychometric instrument identifying parent goals for shared reading is available. This study aims to translate the English version of the Parent Goals for Shared Reading Questionnaire (PGSRQ) into Malay and validate the translated questionnaire. Four qualified translators carried out the translation processes, and a panel of eight experts subsequently validated the Malay-translated version of PGSRQ. Of 33 items, the validation assessment revealed that 17 items had a content validity ratio (CVR) value of 1.0, while 12 items had a CVR value of 0.8. Only four items had a CVR value lower than 0.78 and were retranslated and modified. The findings of this study can pave the way for more research efforts in the field of shared reading in Malaysia. The questionnaire can also assist a speech therapist in assessing the goals that parents have on shared reading to come up with better designs for shared book reading intervention.

A Preliminary Content Validity Study of the Malay Version of READI-SF (Kajian Awal Kesahan Kandungan Versi Bahasa Melayu bagi READI-SF) / Jurnal Sains Kesihatan Malaysia

@#Readiness for treatment reflects the individual’s motivation to seek help and preparedness to engage in treatment activities. The READI-SF aimed to assess parental readiness to engage in treatment. The present study aimed to translate the English version of READI-SF into the Malay language and subsequently assess its content validity using the content validity ratio (CVR), content validity index (CVI) and modified kappa analyses. Four independent translators carried out the translation procedures. Eight clinical professionals were involved as content experts. Of 17 items, six items needed to be revised due to low CVR values (< 0.75). Based on unfavourable individual CVI (I-CVI) results (< 0.78), two items (for item relevancy) and six items (for item clarity) had to be modified. The overall CVI of the questionnaire (S-CVI) was found to be good (i.e., 0.91 for item relevancy and 0.83 for item clarity). Nine items needed to be revised, and the modifications were carried out accordingly. At the end of the study, a valid Malay-translated READI-SF was produced. It has good potential to serve as a clinical tool to assess the readiness of Malay-speaking parents to engage in treatment. However, prior to its intended clinical application, further research is warranted to assess other aspects of validity (e.g., face validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity), as well as READI-SF reliability.

Validity Of Mobile Application Scoscreen for Early Screening of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

@#Introduction: Scoliosis is characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature that may occur during a child’s growth period. Early detection and intervention are needed to prevent the progression of abnormal curvatures. While the gold standard for diagnosing idiopathic scoliosis is x-ray imaging, there is a quick and easy way to perform screening, i.e., using a smartphone. A mobile application with a built-in inclinometer and simple scoliosis tests may help detect scoliosis. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the ScoScreen mobile application’s content for early screening of AIS. Methods: We recruited five physiotherapists with more than five years of experience in paediatric and musculoskeletal and one spinal surgeon. The validity of this study was assessed using a content validity form. Content validity was assessed by calculating the Item-level Content Validity Index (I-CVI), Scale-level Content Validity Index (S-CVI), and modified kappa. Results: The results show that the content validity of ScoScreen has an excellent level of content validity (I-CVI=0.83 – 1.00). The average approach’s overall content validity index was high (S-CVI/Ave=0.94). All items in this study were excellent, with the kappa scores greater than 0.74 (kappa= 0.816 – 1). Conclusion: The development of ScoScreen for early screening of AIS was proven to have excellent content validity in this study. As a result, the Scoscreen mobile application is appropriate for early detection of AIS in terms of its content.

Adaptação e validade de conteúdo da prova de consciência fonológica para Moçambique / Adaptation and content validity of the phonological awareness test for Mozambique / Adaptación y validez de contenido de la prueba de conciencia fonológica para Mozambique

Phonological awareness is a very important skill for performance in reading, writing and mathematics, suggesting that it is monitored and evaluated preferably during preschool as a form of early intervention to prevent learning disabilities after formal education. However, for its assessment it is necessary to have qualified instruments and in Mozambique there is none that assesses this skill. Therefore, this study aimed to culturally adapt the Phonological Awareness Test by Oral production to the Mozambican context and was carried out in two phases: semantic equivalence and content validation. The Content Validity Index was 0.96, although it is considered excellent, further studies need to be carried out to verify other parameters of validity, reliability and standardization. It is expected that the instrument contributes to evaluation and that above all, the skill is part of the activities of stimulation and intervention in preschoolers.

A consciência fonológica é uma habilidade muito importante para o desempenho em leitura, escrita e matemática, sugerindo-se que seja monitorada e avaliada preferencialmente durante a pré-escola como forma de intervenção precoce para prevenção de dificuldades de aprendizagem após o ensino formal. Contudo, para sua avaliação é necessário ter instrumentos qualificados e em Moçambique não existe nenhum que avalia esta habilidade. Portanto, este estudo teve objetivo de realizar adaptação cultural da Prova de Consciência Fonológica por produção Oral para o contexto moçambicano e foi realizado em duas fases: equivalência semântica e validação de conteúdo. O Índice de Validade de Conteúdo foi de 0,96, embora seja considerado ótimo, estudos posteriores precisam ser realizados para verificar outros parâmetros de validade, fidedignidade e normatização. Espera-se que o instrumento contribua para avaliação e que acima de tudo a habilidade faça parte das atividades de estimulação e intervenção em pré-escolares.

La conciencia fonológica es una habilidad muy importante para el desempeño en lectura, escritura y matemáticas, lo que sugiere que se monitorea y evalúa preferiblemente durante el preescolar como una forma de intervención temprana para prevenir dificultades de aprendizaje después de la educación formal. Sin embargo, para su evaluación es necesario contar con instrumentos calificados y en Mozambique no hay ninguno que evalúe esta habilidad. Por lo tanto, este estudio tuvo como objetivo adaptar culturalmente el Test de Conciencia Fonológica por Producción Oral al contexto de Mozambique y se llevó a cabo en dos fases: equivalencia semántica y validación de contenido. El Índice de Validez de Contenido fue de 0.96, aunque se considera excelente, es necesario realizar más estudios para verificar otros parámetros de validez, confiabilidad y estandarización. Se espera que el instrumento contribuya a la evaluación y que sobre todo, la habilidad sea parte de las actividades de estimulación e intervención en preescolares.

Content Validity of an Index to Explore the Opinion of Undergraduate Students on Participation as Study Subjects in Research

ABSTRACT: The participation of undergraduate students as study subjects (SS) in research is considered a fundamental research activity of the educational experience provided by a university. Educators should promote learning by the scientific method through these activities under ethical standards for research with human beings. We designed a multidimensional questionnaire in English and Spanish to determine the perception of the educational benefits to, interest of and influence on university students with respect to participation as SS in research, and determine the content validity based on the judgement of experts. The items were designed based on previous theories and measurement scales, and on the opinion of experts. The Student Perceptions of the Educational Value of Research Participation Scale and the Coercion Assessment Scale were included in the new Participation of University Students as Study Subjects Index (USTUDI). The validity of the content was determined based on the judgement of experts who evaluated each item for relevance. The new instrument showed excellent content validity and is a multidimensional, single-application instrument designed to measure three psychological attributes of the participation of university students as SS in research, making it an instrument of high educational value. However, the results must be interpreted with caution, as tests need to be carried out to evaluate other psychometric characteristics.

RESUMEN: La participación de estudiantes de pregrado como sujetos de estudio (SE) en una investigación se considera una actividad de investigación fundamental de la experiencia educativa proporcionada por una universidad. Los educadores que a su vez son investigadores deben promover el aprendizaje por el método científico a través de estas actividades bajo normas éticas de investigación con seres humanos. Diseñamos un cuestionario multidimensional en inglés y español para determinar la percepción de los beneficios educativos, el interés y la influencia en los estudiantes universitarios con respecto a la participación como SE en investigación y determinamos su validez de contenido a partir del juicio de expertos. Los ítems se diseñaron en base a teorías y escalas de medición previas junto a la opinión de expertos. Las escalas de medición The Student Perceptions of the Educational Value of Research Participation Scale y the Coercion Assessment Scale se incluyeron en el nuevo Índice de Participación de los Estudiantes Universitarios como Sujetos de Estudio (IPEUSE). La validez de contenido se determinó a partir del juicio de expertos que evaluaron la pertinencia de cada ítem. El nuevo instrumento mostró una excelente validez de contenido y es un instrumento multidimensional de aplicación única diseñado para medir tres atributos psicológicos de la participación de los estudiantes universitarios como SE en la investigación, lo que lo convierte en un instrumento de alto valor educativo. Sin embargo, los resultados deben interpretarse con cautela, ya que es necesario realizar pruebas para evaluar otras características psicométricas.

El objetivo de este estudio es sintetizar la validez de contenido y alcance de estos instrumentos. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura de estudios originales en idioma inglés y español publicados desde 1990 hasta 2018 en las bases de datos de Pubmed, ERIC, British Nursing Index, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Cochrane, CINALH y Latindex, que contienen instrumentos para medir el ambiente de aprendizaje en medicina. Se analizaron los dominios, fundamentos teóricos y métodos para determinar la validez de contenido. Resultados: Se incluyeron treinta y ocho estudios que evaluaron doce instrumentos (uno disponible en español). Dos instrumentos identificados fueron específicos para el ambiente quirúrgico y uno para el comunitario. Únicamente tres instrumentos estuvieron respaldados por una teoría educativa. Los dominios más frecuentemente evaluados fueron la atmosfera del aprendizaje, la percepción social y percepción académica. La validez de contenido se estableció principalmente mediante un panel de expertos o método Delphi en el 83,3 % de los instrumentos. Conclusiones: Existen diversos instrumentos para evaluar un constructo complejo como el ambiente de aprendizaje en medicina. En general, estos instrumentos cuentan con validez de contenido respaldada por múltiples fuentes y metodologías, y pueden ser utilizados por los educadores médicos para evaluar de forma integral el ambiente de aprendizaje.

ABSTRACT Introduction/aim: The measurement of the learning environment in medicine is fundamental to assess the quality of medical education. Multiple instruments are available for this purpose, but their content, theoretical foundations and practical implications variate. Our aim is to synthesize the content validity and scope of these instruments. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of original studies designed to measure the learning environment in medicine, published in English and Spanish languages, from 1990 to 2018. We search for studies in Pubmed, ERIC, British Nursing Index, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Cochrane, CINALH and Latindex. We analyzed the main domains, theoretical foundations and methods to determine the content validity of each instrument. Results: Thirty-eight studies evaluating twelve instruments (one available in Spanish) were included. Two instruments were specific for the surgical environment and one for the community. Only three instruments were supported by an educational theory. The domains most frequently evaluated were the atmosphere, social perception and academic perception of learning. The content validity was established through expert panels or Delphi method in 83,3 % of the instruments. Conclusions: There are several instruments to evaluate a complex construct such as the learning environment in medicine. In general, these instruments have content validity supported by multiple sources and methodologies and they can be used by medical educators to assess the learning environment comprehensively.

INTRODUCTION: People with mental illnesses frequently experience stigma from health care professionals, which is why it is an urge to count with adequate assessments to evaluate stigma to address it. This manuscript describes the process of language translation and content validation in Chile of the Opening Minds Scale for the assessment of stigma against people with mental illnesses in Healthcare Practitioners (WHO-HC), originally developed in Canada. METHODS: Language translation and content validation analysis were performed, including English-Spanish translation and reverse translation by professional translator, item triangulation by researchers, and content validity analysis of the translated questionnaire by expert evaluation based on the Content Validity Index (CVI), including 10 experts in academia, research, and one expert by experience. Items rated with CVI 0.51-0.99 were considered acceptable. RESULTS: From the total of 20 items of the questionnaire, two were rated with lower CVI than acceptable, specifically related to the constructs "hope" and "compassion", part of the theoretical framework of Recovery in which the questionnaire is based on. The two items were re-evaluated including original authors to adapt them seeking fidelity to the foundational constructs, through an iterative process with experts. CONCLUSIONS: The translation of the Opening Minds Scale for Healthcare Practitioners (WHO-HC) is presented, adapted to Spanish in Chile after content analysis, consisting of 20 items for the evaluation of stigma towards people with mental illness in health professionals, enabling the development of new studies to analyze criterion validity, and the exploration of feasibility and utility at the local level.

Validez de apariencia y de contenido de la escala de resiliencia SV-RES en cuidadores cubanos / Face and content validity of the SV-RES resilience scale in cuban caregivers

A pesar de los esfuerzos realizados en las últimas décadas por conocer en profundidad la resiliencia, existen problemas metodológicos en su estudio. En este sentido, el presente artículo se propuso determinar la validez de apariencia y la validez de contenido de la Escala de Resiliencia SV-RES en cuidadores cubanos de pacientes con discapacidad motora hospitalizados. Se analizó la validez de apariencia para explorar la aplicabilidad y viabilidad del instrumento a partir de un análisis cualitativo de las respuestas emitidas por 15 sujetos que conformaron el pilotaje. Para la determinación de la validez de contenido se empleó el Índice de Validez de Contenido; en efecto, la muestra estuvo conformada por 11 expertos. En ambos casos la muestra fue no probabilística por conveniencia. Como resultados encontramos que la caracterización sociodemográfica de los cuidadores concordó con lo referido en estudios previos. Al validar la apariencia, las principales dificultades estuvieron vinculadas con la extensión de la escala y la comprensión de determinados ítems. Se mostraron evidencias de validez de contenido al obtener resultados cercanos a la unidad. La resiliencia está siendo una de las variables más estudiadas en la actualidad por las implicaciones que tiene para la salud humana, requiriendo para su evaluación rigor científico.

Despite the efforts in the last decades to know resilience in-depth, there are methodological problems in its study. In this sense, the present article aimed to determine the SV-RES Resilience Scale's face validity and content validity in Cuban caregivers of hospitalized patients with motor disabilities. The face validity was analyzed to explore the applicability and feasibility of the instrument based on a qualitative analysis of the answers given by 15 subjects who made up the pilot test. To determine de content's validity, we used the Content Validity Index; in fact, the sample consisted of 11 experts. In both cases, the sample was non-probabilistic by convenience. As a result, we found that the sociodemographic characterization of the caregivers was in agreement with previous studies. When validating the appearance, the main difficulties were related to the scale's length and the comprehension of certain items. There was evidence of content validity by obtaining results close to unity. Resilience is currently one of the most studied variables due to its implications for human health, requiring scientific rigour in its evaluation.
