Abstract
to cross-culturally adapt the Student Nurse Stress Index to the Brazilian context. this is a methodological study of translation and cross-cultural adaptation. We used a sample of specialists (n = 3) and nursing students (n = 40). Socioeconomic and academic questionnaires were used for data collection, assessment and the translated instrument (SNSI-Brazil). most students were female (90.0%), single (87.5%), unemployed (80.0%), they studied on average 11 hours per week, slept 6 hours per day; and rated the face and the content of the instrument as very good, agreeing substantially (kappa = 0.74 and p-value < 0.01). The judges showed regular agreement in their assessments, and the SNSI-Brazil showed a good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.80). The SNSI-Brazil was validated for face and content, has a good internal consistency if compared to versions used in other countries.
Highlights
Among health workers, some groups are more affected by stress, such as those who work in intensive care units and those in the surgical unit, because of the specific conditions and demands of their work environments
Studies on cultural adaptation and validation of measuring instruments are very important for the development of valid and reliable instruments, especially when comparing research results in different cultures
Before being used in another context, these instruments must go through a process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation
Summary
Some groups are more affected by stress, such as those who work in intensive care units and those in the surgical unit, because of the specific conditions and demands of their work environments. Some of these conditions are: the environment itself, critical conditions of patients, high responsibility, and a high degree of competency and skill requirements[1,2]. Stress in nursing has been widely studied in different care contexts, from primary care to high complexity care, but it still deserves attention due to the peculiarities present in the professional activity, the regional differences in the care model and the management resources in the work strategy[1,3,4].
