Adaptação transcultural do questionário SCATBI como instrumento de avaliação das habilidades cognitivas pós-traumatismo cranioencefálico
Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Médicas, Florianópolis, 2015.OBJETIVO: Realizar a adaptação transcultural do questionário SCATBI para avaliação das habilidades linguístico-cognitivas pós-TCE. MÉTODO: Após as fases de tradução e retrotradução do instrumento, uma equipe multidisciplinar julgou as versões obtidas quanto à manutenção do conceito original, compreensibilidade e clareza para a população brasileira. A versão final foi testada em 55 indivíduos saudáveis. RESULTADOS: Algumas questões foram modificadas de acordo com as sugestões da equipe multidisciplinar e dos entrevistados para melhor compreensão. Os indivíduos possuíam média de idade de 41,75 anos (18-81), escolaridade de 12,96 anos em média, e 38 (69,1%) eram mulheres. Na comparação dos escores obtidos por cada gênero houve diferença estatisticamente significativa apenas no quesito Organização, com p = 0,02. CONCLUSÃO: Por ser uma bateria cognitiva abrangente, que permite a avaliação de indivíduos ao longo de extensa faixa de idade, a versão brasileira do SCATBI é um instrumento sensível para diagnóstico e acompanhamento das alterações cognitivas comumente prejudicadas após um TCE.Abstract : OBJECTIVE: To translate and to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the "Scales of Cognitive Ability for Traumatic Brain Injury" (SCATBI). METHOD: After the translation and back-translation phases, a multidisciplinary committee judged and elaborated versions in order to maintain its conceptual equivalence, content, comprehensibility and contextual adjustment for Brazilian population. The final version was tested on 55 healthy subjects. RESULTS: Some questions were modified in accordance with suggestions from the subjects and the expert committee. The individuals' mean age was 41,75 years (18-81), 38 (69,1%) were women and they attended school for a mean of 12,96 years (SD = 4,554). Both genders performed similarly on all domains of the questionnaire, except for "organization" ability, where women performed better than men with a statistically significant difference, with p = 0,02. CONCLUSION: Being a comprehensive cognitive battery, which assesses individuals in an extensive age range, the Brazilian version of SCATBI is a sensitive tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of cognitive changes often impaired after a TBI

Cross-cultural adaptation of the SCATBI instrument for cognitive-linguistic abilities after traumatic brain injury
ABSTRACTObjective To perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the “Scales of Cognitive Ability for Traumatic Brain Injury” (SCATBI).Method After the translation and back-translation phases, a multidisciplinary committee judged and elaborated versions in order to maintain its conceptual equivalence, content, comprehensibility and contextual adjustment for Brazilian population. The final version was tested on 55 healthy subjects.Results The individuals’ mean age was 41.75 ± 17.40 years (range = 18-81), 69% were women and they had a mean schooling of 12.96 ± 4.55 years. Higher total scores were positively correlated with years of schooling (p < 0.001) and social-economic status (p = 0.001), while older aged individuals performed worse than younger ones (p = 0.001). Both genders performed similarly on all domains of the instrument, except for “organization” ability, where women performed significantly better than men (p = 0.02).Conclusion The Brazilian version of SCATBI is a useful tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of cognitive impairments after a traumatic brain injury
