Abstract

Background

Low levels of knowledge among health professionals about autism spectrum disorders (ASD) can impair the care provided to people with autism. In Brazil, there are still no validated instruments that assess the knowledge of pharmacy students and pharmacists regarding ASD.

Objective

This study aimed to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the Autism Stigma Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q) into Brazilian Portuguese and to evaluate the evidence of content validity.

Methods

This study was conducted in two stages, as recommended in the literature. Stage 1 corresponded to cross-cultural adaptation carried out in six phases (translation of the ASK-Q, synthesis of the translations, evaluation by a committee of experts, evaluation by the target audience of pharmacy students and pharmacists, reverse translation, and evaluation by the author of the original instrument). Step 2 corresponds to the assessment of content validity evidence.

Results

The instrument presented semantic, idiomatic, conceptual, and cultural equivalences, and the author considered the adaptation adequate. Content validity had an adequate coefficient (0.89). The ASK-Q was cross-culturally adapted to the Brazilian context according to the main theoretical framework.

Conclusions

Future studies will be conducted to evaluate other evidence for the validity of the ASK-Q-Brasil. These studies will be fundamental in assessing knowledge about ASD.

自闭症耻辱感知识问卷（ASK-Q）巴西葡萄牙语验证

背景医疗专业人员对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的了解程度较低，会影响为自闭症患者提供的医疗服务。本研究旨在将自闭症耻辱感知识问卷（ASK-Q）跨文化改编为巴西葡萄牙语，并评估其内容有效性的证据。方法根据文献建议，本研究分两个阶段进行。第 1 步为跨文化改编，分六个阶段进行（ASK-Q 的翻译、译文的合成、专家委员会的评估、目标受众（药学学生和药剂师）的评估、反向翻译以及原始工具作者的评估）。第 2 步是评估内容效度证据。结果该工具在语义、习惯用语、概念和文化方面都具有等效性，作者认为改编是适当的。内容效度系数为 0.89。根据主要的理论框架，ASK-Q 在巴西进行了跨文化改编。结论今后将开展研究，以评估 ASK-Q-Brasil 有效性的其他证据。这些研究对于评估有关 ASD 的知识至关重要。
