Adaptation and validation of the Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To adapt and validate the content of the Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument (APNCAI) to Brazilian culture. METHODS: This is a methodological study that followed the stages of translation, synthesis, back translation, evaluation by a committee of five specialists, pre-test with 31 nurses, and evaluation by the author of the original instrument. The Content Validity Index (minimum 0.90) and the modified Kappa (minimum 0.74) were calculated to evaluate the content. RESULT: In the first round of content evaluation, 18 items had to be altered because they did not reach the minimum values established. Three items have not reached a consensus in the second round and had to be sent to the author of the original version. In the pre-test, 13 items were returned to the specialists because they suffered content changes. CONCLUSION: The Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument (APNCAI) - Brazilian version was cross-culturally adapted, and its content was validated.
