摘要
社区参与研究(CEnR)和社区参与研究(CBPR)需要有效的措施和指标来评估研究伙伴关系和成果。有必要调整和翻译现有的措施,以便在不同的非英语社区中实际使用。本文介绍了西班牙语翻译和改编的参与公平的社区参与调查(E2 CES),一个国家验证和经验支持的CEnR评估工具,到完整的“Encuesta社区”和一个实用的简短版本“Fortaleciendo y Uniendo EsfueRzos跨学科的para Equidad de Salud”(FUERTES)。方法:来自美国大陆、波多黎各和尼加拉瓜的社区和学术合作伙伴参与了E2 CES的翻译和改编,保留了项目、量表和CBPR结构(语境、伙伴关系过程、干预和研究行动和结果)的内容效度、心理测量特性和对利益相关者的重要性。内部一致性采用Cronbach's alpha评估,收敛效度通过量表间的相关矩阵评估。结果:Encuesta communitaria受访者(N = 57)自我认同主要为拉丁裔/as/x(97%),女性(74%)和学者(61%)。情境领域的项目Cronbach’s alpha值为0.72 - 0.88,干预/研究领域的项目Cronbach’s alpha值为0.90-0.92。在子量表之间发现了预期的相关性,在同一CBPR域内的子量表中发现了最强的关系。结果为FUERTES的创建提供了信息。结论:Encuenta communitaria和FUERTES为CEnR/CBPR从业者提供了两种经过验证的工具,用于评估他们的研究合作实践和结果。此外,FUERTES满足了对更短的实用工具的需求。这些措施可以进一步加强涉及美国、拉丁美洲和全球拉丁裔/a/x社区的CEnR/CBPR。
The Spanish translation, adaptation, and validation of a Community-Engaged Research survey and a pragmatic short version: Encuesta Comunitaria and FUERTES.
Introduction: Community-Engaged Research (CEnR) and Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) require validated measures and metrics for evaluating research partnerships and outcomes. There is a need to adapt and translate existing measures for practical use with diverse and non-English-speaking communities. This paper describes the Spanish translation and adaptation of Engage for Equity's Community Engagement Survey (E2 CES), a nationally validated and empirically-supported CEnR evaluation tool, into the full-length "Encuesta Comunitaria," and a pragmatic shorter version "Fortaleciendo y Uniendo EsfueRzos Transdisciplinarios para Equidad de Salud" (FUERTES).
Methods: Community and academic partners from the mainland US, Puerto Rico, and Nicaragua participated in translating and adapting E2 CES, preserving content validity, psychometric properties, and importance to stakeholders of items, scales, and CBPR constructs (contexts, partnership processes, intervention and research actions, and outcomes). Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and convergent validity was assessed via a correlation matrix among scales.
Results: Encuesta Comunitaria respondents (N = 57) self-identified as primarily Latinos/as/x (97%), female (74%), and academics (61%). Cronbach's alpha values ranged from 0.72 to 0.88 for items in the context domain to 0.90-0.92 for items in the intervention/research domain. Correlations were found as expected among subscales, with the strongest relationships found for subscales within the same CBPR domain. Results informed the creation of FUERTES.
Conclusions: Encuenta Comunitaria and FUERTES offer CEnR/CBPR practitioners two validated instruments for assessing their research partnering practices, and outcomes. Moreover, FUERTES meets the need for shorter pragmatic tools. These measures can further strengthen CEnR/CBPR involving Latino/a/x communities within the US, Latin America, and globally.
