Abstract

Knowledge of patients about Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a necessary aspect to better approach self-management support in a patient-centered manner. The research instrument known as the Rheumatoid Arthritis Knowledge Assessment Scale (RAKAS), consisting of 13 items, is simple, reliable and reproducible, and can be applied in both clinical practice and research protocols. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the RAKAS vocabulary into Brazilian Portuguese and to evaluate its concurrent validity. The RAKAS was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and administered to 52 elderly women with RA recruited between May 2021 and May 2022. Concurrent validity was assessed using the Spearman’s correlation coefficient between RAKAS and Patient Knowledge Questionnaire (PKQ). The participants considered RAKAS-13/BRAZIL easy to understand and did not report any doubts in answering the final version. Concurrent validity of the RAKAS–13/BRAZIL was low compared to the PKQ (ρ = 0.283, p = 0.038). Conclusion: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the RAKAS (RAKAS–13/BRASIL) proved to be a questionnaire that was easy and quick to administer to assess patient knowledge about Rheumatoid Arthritis, despite its low correlation with the PKQ in the present study.

巴西葡萄牙语类风湿关节炎评估量表（RAKAS-13/巴西）的翻译、跨文化改编和并发有效性

患者对类风湿性关节炎（RA）的了解是以患者为中心更好地提供自我管理支持的一个必要方面。类风湿关节炎知识评估量表（RAKAS）由13个项目组成，是一种简单、可靠、可重复的研究工具，既可用于临床实践，也可用于研究方案。本研究旨在将 RAKAS 词汇翻译成巴西葡萄牙语并进行文化适应性调整，同时评估其并发效度。RAKAS被翻译成巴西葡萄牙语，并对2021年5月至2022年5月期间招募的52名患有RA的老年妇女进行了施测。使用RAKAS与患者知识问卷（PKQ）之间的斯皮尔曼相关系数评估其并发有效性。参与者认为RAKAS-13/BRAZIL易于理解，在回答最终版本时没有任何疑问。与 PKQ 相比，RAKAS-13/BRAZIL 的并发效度较低（ρ = 0.283，p = 0.038）。结论巴西葡萄牙语版的 RAKAS（RAKAS-13/BRASIL）被证明是一种简便快捷的问卷，可用于评估患者对类风湿性关节炎的了解程度，尽管在本研究中它与 PKQ 的相关性较低。
