Cross-cultural adaptation into Brazilian portuguese of the Dietary Sodium Restriction Questionnaire (DSRQ)

Karina Sanches Machado d'Almeida et al. Gabriela Correa Souza Eneida Rejane Rabelo

BACKGROUND: Sodium restriction is a non-pharmacological measure often recommended to patients with heart failure (HF). However, adherence is low, being among the most common causes of HF decompensation. The Dietary Sodium Restriction Questionnaire (DSRQ) aims at identifying factors that affect adherence to dietary sodium restriction by patients with HF. In Brazil, there are no instruments to assess these factors. OBJECTIVE: Perform the transcultural adaptation of DSRQ. METHODS: Methodological study that involved the following steps: translation, synthesis, back-translation, review by an expert committee, pretest of the final version and analysis of interobserver agreement. In the pretest, items and their understanding were evaluated, as well as internal consistency by Cronbach’s alpha. The instrument was simultaneously and independently administered by two researchers and the kappa test was used for agreement analysis. RESULTS: Only one question underwent major semantic and/or cultural alteration. At the pretest, Cronbach’s alpha for the total obtained was 0.77; for the Attitude, Subjective Norm and Behavioral Control scales were obtained, respectively: 0.66, 0.50 and 0.85. At the agreement step, the Kappa was calculated for 12 of the 16 questions, with values ranging from 0.62 to 1.00. In items for which the calculation was not possible, the incidence of equal responses ranged from 95% to 97.5%. CONCLUSION: Based on the transcultural adaptation of DSRQ, it was possible to propose a version of the questionnaire for further evaluation of psychometric properties.

OBJECTIVE: Translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire (ECQ) a specific tool to assess intermittent claudication. METHODS: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the ECQ was developed after authorization by the University of Edinburgh. It was applied to 217 individuals: São Paulo Capital District residents with complaints of leg pain. Individuals under research were invited through mass communication media to participate in the I Campaign to Fight Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). In stage 1, participants filled out the ECQ and another questionnaire on risk factors and cardiovascular history. In stage 2, participants had anthropometric measures and ankle-brachial index (ABI) at rest measured by vascular Doppler. In case of doubt, vascular treadmill test was applied (VTT). PAD condition was defined by ABI 65 years) and non-elderly subjects. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the Edinburgh claudication questionnaire maintained good sensitivity and specificity and can be recommended for screening of PAD in clinical practice and epidemiological research in Brazil.
