Abstract
to carry out translation, cross-cultural adaptation to Portuguese and assess the reliability of the four versions of the Coronary Revascularization Outcome Questionnaire - adapted. a methodological study of translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Portuguese, as proposed by Beaton et al., and reliability analysis, by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total correlation of the four versions of the Coronary Revascularization Outcome Questionnaire - adapted. the adaptations made facilitated the understanding of the items. All domains had Cronbach's alpha above 0.70, except two in the post-percutaneous coronary intervention version and two in the post-myocardial surgical revascularization version. All items had item-total correlation values greater than 0.20, except two in the post-percutaneous coronary intervention version, one in the pre-coronary intervention version and six in the post-myocardial surgical revascularization version. the cross-cultural adaptation to Portuguese was considered satisfactory. Pre-procedure versions were considered reliable, while the post-procedures require other psychometric analyses.
Highlights
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, with the main causes being smoking, sedentary lifestyle and bad lifestyle habits, including unhealthy diet and use abusive of alcohol
In relation to Brazil, in that same year, chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs) were responsible for 74% of all mortality in the country, with CVDs as the leading cause, which accounted for 28% of this total(3)
The questionnaire was assessed by a committee of experts, and cultural adaptations were made in the wording of the items to facilitate their understanding
Summary
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, with the main causes being smoking, sedentary lifestyle and bad lifestyle habits, including unhealthy diet and use abusive of alcohol. Among the CVDs, cerebrovascular diseases, systemic arterial hypertension, peripheral arterial disease, heart failure and coronary artery disease (CAD) stand out(1). According to the WHO, in 2016, CVD resulted in 17.9 million deaths(2), being the leading cause of death from chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs). In relation to Brazil, in that same year, CNCDs were responsible for 74% of all mortality in the country, with CVDs as the leading cause, which accounted for 28% of this total(3). From 2004 to 2014, ischemic heart diseases account for 1,069,653 deaths in Brazil(4). CAD treatment consists of pharmacological therapeutic measures, with the objective of relieving symptoms and reducing the area of myocardial ischemia due to the adverse effects caused by adrenergic discharge and platelet aggregation, in addition to providing coronary reperfusion(5)
