ABSTRACT
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

ABSTRACT
Participation--defined as engagement in life situations, including leisure and recreational activities--is associated with the improvement of people with disabilities' quality of life. Several specific instruments assess leisure, but none of them has been adapted to the Spanish context. The goal of this study is to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Leisure Assessment Inventory (LAI; B. A. Hawkins, P. Ardovino, N. B. Rogers, A. Foose, & N. Olsen, 2002 ). The adaptation of the original version of the LAI was carried out through translation and backward translation, and the validity of the instrument was analyzed. Descriptive analyses (means and standard deviations) were conducted for each LAI index. Construct validity was assessed through Pearson's product-moment correlation among the diverse LAI indexes, and convergent-discriminant validity through the correlation of the diverse indexes and the measures of quality of life. Results show that the LAI indexes are valid measures of the attributes of leisure behavior (participation, preference, interest, and barriers). This study provides a valid instrument to assess the participation profile of adults with disabilities in leisure activities.

Se analiza qué mediadores ambientales simbólicos son másfrecuentes en los contextos de hospitalización infantil,entendidos como estímulos ambientales asociados, a travésde vívencias propias o vicarias, a experiencias emocionales determinadas que pueden incidir en la experiencia emocional de los pacientes. Existe un amplio margen de mejora de estos aspectos en los entornos actuales de la hospitalización infantil y los profesionaies de enfermeria pediátrica asumenfunciones de control de los mediadores ambientales simbólicos en los citados procesos de hospitalizaciónn. La investigación recogida en este trabajo se ha realizado con ayuda financiera de la Junta de Castilla y León
In the work which methods and results we shall later describe, we have tried to indicate, whith symbolic erivironmental mediators appear most frequently in the contexts of child hospitalisation. By symbolic environmental mediator, we understand the stimulus signals of the environment associated, by virtue of personal or vicarious experiences, to certainemotional experiences -this is, signals capable of affecting the patients' emotional experience. From our work it follows that there exists a wide margin of improvement of these aspects in the current settings of child hospitalization, and that it is the paediatric nursing professibnals who, in an emergent way, are assuming functions of control of thesymbolic environmental mediators in the mentined processes of hospitalisation
