To adapt and validate a Brazilian Portuguese version of the European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale.
The cross-cultural adaptation (translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert committee review, and pretesting) and validation (assessment of face validity, content validity, and internal consistency reliability) were carried out in accordance with the literature. The European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale assesses key components of self-care: recognition of the signs and symptoms of decompensated heart failure (HF) and decision-making when these signs and symptoms arise. It comprises 12 items (range 12-60, where lower scores indicate better self-care).
The sample comprised 124 HF patients with a mean age of 62.3 ± 12 years. The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency was 0.70 and the intraclass correlation coefficient for reproducibility was 0.87.
Face and content validity, internal consistency and reproducibility have lended validity and reliability for the use of the instrument in Brazil.
改编并验证欧洲心力衰竭自我护理行为量表的巴西葡萄牙语版本。
按照文献进行跨文化改编（翻译、综合、回译、专家委员会审查和预测试）以及验证（评估表面效度、内容效度和内部一致性信度）。欧洲心力衰竭自我护理行为量表评估自我护理的关键组成部分：识别失代偿性心力衰竭（HF）的体征和症状以及出现这些体征和症状时的决策能力。它由12个项目组成（范围为12 - 60，分数越低表明自我护理越好）。
样本包括124名HF患者，平均年龄为62.3 ± 12岁。克朗巴哈α系数内部一致性为0.70，组内相关系数的再现性为0.87。
表面效度和内容效度、内部一致性和再现性为该工具在巴西的使用提供了效度和信度。
