Objective: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index 6.2
instrument for use in Uruguay.
Method: A methodological study, performed at a multidisciplinary heart failure care clinic in
Uruguay between November 2016 and September 2017. The following stages were developed:
translation, synthesis of translated versions, back-translation, expert committee evaluation and
pre-test. For the analysis, the content validity index (adequate > 0.9), agreement percentage
(adequate ≥ 80%) and Cronbach’s alpha in the pre-test (adequate ≥ 0.70) were used.
Result: In the first evaluation, six items displayed CVI < 0.9 and/or a total agreement lower
than 70% and for this reason were changed and subsequently reevaluated, reaching CVI >
0.9 and/or an agreement percentage greater than 70%. The internal consistency of the scale
was 0.78.
Conclusion: The translation and adaptation of this instrument enables the development of
multi-center studies by providing the same outcome assessment measures.
