Adaptación transcultural y validación de la escala de movilidad en unidad de paciente crítico

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at the Metropolitan Hospital of Santiago de Chile. Objective: Adapt and cross-culturally validate the mobility scale in a critical patient unit in Chile. This instrument will allow you to interpret and evaluate the maximum mobility that the patient achieves, using a score from 0 to 10 on the scale. Methodology: A committee of experts carried out a cross-cultural adaptation process of the IMS scale. Subsequently, a pilot test was carried out with 36 professionals, who initially applied the scale as a test. Once this process was completed, training was carried out for the interdisciplinary team made up of 97 professionals, who applied the mobility scale in its Chilean version to 86 patients selected according to their inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, data were collected for statistical analysis to carry out validity tests, which, in turn, were correlated with the functional status scoring scale in the intensive care unit (FSS-ICU). Results: Regarding the descriptive statistics of the content validation averaged between the different measurements of professionals, it showed a median of 8.75, mean 8.09 and standard deviation 2.2425). The compensation between the IMS with the FSS-ICU of r = 0.883 and p < 0.0001, in the interference analysis to obtain construct validity, the Friedman test was performed (F = 30.1 in nursing, F = 22.4 in Tens and F = 27.4).
