Cultural adaptation and validation of the Brazilian Version of the Patient Activation Measure-22 items - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 01-01-2018;71(4):1891-1898
To adapt and validate the Patient Activation Measure (PAM22) in a sample of Brazilians with chronic diseases under outpatient monitoring.
Adaptation process comprises translation, back translation, analysis by a committee of judges, semantic analysis, and pre-test. Psychometric validation was performed with 513 individuals. Construct validity was analyzed through Pearson’s correlation, Student’s t-test and Structural Equation Modeling; reliability was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach’s Alpha.
The internal consistency was adequate and test-retest reliability was low to moderate (p < 0.05). Validity evidence was found on the convergent construct, with statistically significant correlations between measures of activation, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and health status. The one-dimensionality of the theoretical model was not confirmed in the adapted version.
Results have shown that the adapted version is reliable and valid, although the theoretical model cannot be explained in a single dimension.
