Adaptación transcultural de la Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF) modificada para madres de prematuras en Brasil

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) for mothers of ill and/or preterm infants among Portuguese-speaking mothers in Brazil.

Methods:

a methodological study was completed, including the translation of the tool, synthesis of translations, review by experts, synthesis, reassessment of experts, back-translation, pre-test, and validation of the content. The study involved 19 participants, including a translator and experts. In addition, 18 mothers from the target population were included in the pre-test.

Results:

the equivalences of the opinion obtained by the committee of experts were semantic (85%), idiom (89%), cultural (86%), and conceptual (94%). The content validation coefficient (CVC) on the scale was 0.93 for clarity and understanding; 0.89 for practical relevance; 0.92 for relevance; and the average overall CVC was 0.91.

Conclusions:

the scale was translated and adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese language, which maintained the equivalences and confirmed the content validity.
