Adaptación transcultural de la escala Induction Compliance Checklist para la evaluación del comportamiento del niño durante la inducción de la anestesia / Transcultural adaptation into Spanish of the Induction Compliance Checklist for assessing children's behaviour during induction of anaesthesia

OBJETIVO: Adaptar al español la escala de evaluación del comportamiento del niño durante la inducción anestésica Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC). MÉTODO: Estudio observacional de validación realizado a una muestra de 81 niños de 2 a 12 años operados en una Unidad de Cirugía Ambulatoria de un hospital pediátrico de Barcelona. Adaptación por el método de traducción-retrotraducción de la herramienta y análisis de validez y fiabilidad de la escala. RESULTADOS: Se garantizó la validez aparente de la herramienta mediante un grupo de discusión y se evaluó la fiabilidad interobservadores; el índice de correlación intraclase obtenido fue de r = 0,956. CONCLUSIONES: La escala ICC validada para la población española puede ser una herramienta eficaz para la evaluación de las actividades prequirúrgicas que se realizan para minimizar la ansiedad de los niños. La ICC es una escala fácil de usar y de completar por el personal de quirófano y que aportaría gran información en cuanto al comportamiento del niño durante la inducción anestésica

OBJECTIVE: Cross-cultural adaptation into Spanish of the Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC) for assessing children's behaviour during induction of anaesthesia. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional observational study was conducted on a sample of 81 children aged 2 to 12 years operated in an ambulatory surgery unit of a paediatric hospital in Barcelona. Adaptation by translation-back translation of the tool and analysis of the scale's validity and reliability. RESULTS: Face validity of the tool was guaranteed through a discussion group and inter-observer reliability was evaluated, obtaining an intraclass correlation index of r = 0.956. CONCLUSIONS: The ICC scale validated for the Spanish population can be an effective tool for the presurgical evaluation of activities carried out to minimise children's anxiety. The ICC is an easy-to-use scale completed by operating room staff in one minute and would provide important information about children's behaviour, specifically during induction
