Abstract

Objectives: To adapt the Portuguese Phlebitis Scale to the Brazilian culture and verify the adapted version's psychometric properties. Methods: Methodological study involving analysis of semantic, cultural, and idiomatic equivalence for cross-cultural adaptation, cognitive debriefing, verification of internal consistency, and construct validity. The equivalence was analyzed considering the percentage of agreement among experts. Exploratory factor analysis was used to test construct validity. Reliability was assessed by internal consistency (Cronbach’s α and McDonald's Ω). Results: In the cross-cultural adaptation process involving ten experts, two items did not reach an agreement ≥ 80% and underwent adjustments according to the suggestions received. Twelve cognitive debriefing participants approved the adapted version. Adults (n = 244) using a peripheral venous catheter participated in the reliability and construct validation analysis. Exploratory factor analysis identified a single factor, including all tested items (pain, erythema, edema, streak formation along the course of the vein, and palpable venous cord) and factor loading > 0.743. Internal consistency of the set of items was high (Cronbach’s α = 0.771 and McDonald's Ω = 0.853). Conclusion: The Portuguese Scale of Phlebitis - Version adapted for Brazil proved valid and reliable. It achieved properties that allow use in Brazil's clinical practice, teaching, and research.
