Pediatricians need to be knowledgeable to adequately carry out their role in the support of breastfeeding, so assessing their knowledge of breastfeeding is vitally important. There are not English language validated questionnaires for pediatricians in the literature; however, in Spanish and Portuguese, there is the Breastfeeding Knowledge Survey (ECoLa, derived from ). Our goal is to translate the ECoLa into English. The original survey consisted of true/false questions, including one with an image of a breastfeeding baby, multiple-choice questions featuring clinical cases, and two open-ended short questions. We used a translation approach that incorporated both forward and backward translations and a multidisciplinary committee to evaluate the translation process. During translation, four Spanish versions and seven English versions were considered prior to consensus approval of the final survey. The intraclass correlation coefficient between the English questionnaire and the original Spanish version was 0.85 (95% CI [0.60, 0.95]). A sample of 51 participants completed the survey, resulting in a Cronbach's alpha of 0.78 for the English version (95% CI [0.70, 0.86]). The Breastfeeding Knowledge Survey is now accessible under a Creative Commons license, permitting its free re-use.
儿科医生需要具备足够的知识才能充分发挥其在支持母乳喂养方面的作用，因此评估他们对母乳喂养的知识至关重要。文献中没有针对儿科医生的英语语言验证问卷；然而，在西班牙语和葡萄牙语中，有母乳喂养知识调查（ECoLa，源自）。我们的目标是将 ECoLa 翻译成英文。原始调查包括真假问题，包括一个母乳喂养婴儿的图像，具有临床病例的多项选择题，以及两个开放式简短问题。我们使用了一种翻译方法，该方法结合了正向和反向翻译以及多学科委员会来评估翻译过程。在翻译过程中，考虑了四个西班牙语版本和七个英语版本，然后才批准最终调查的共识。英语问卷与原始西班牙语版本之间的组内相关系数为 0.85（95%CI[0.60,0.95]）。51 名参与者完成了调查，英语版本的克朗巴赫系数为 0.78（95%CI[0.70,0.86]）。母乳喂养知识调查现已根据知识共享许可获得许可，允许免费重新使用。
