PIMENTA, Janaina Carla Silva Oliveira et al. Brazilian Version of the Tool for Assessing Cultural Competence Training (TACCT): a Cultural Competence Model. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2020, vol.44, n.4, e168. Epub 21-Out-2020. ISSN 1981-5271. https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-5271v44.4-20200240.

Introduction:

To translate, adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Tool for Assessing Cultural Competence Training (TACCT) to Brazilian Portuguese.

Methods:

The TACCT items were transculturally adapted through several stages, namely: translation, reconciliation, backtranslation, revision of backtranslation, independent reviews, Delphi stage, pretest, and incorporation of the pretest results into the translation process. The final Portuguese version of the instrument was self-applied by 320 medical students. The scale accuracy was verified using reliability analysis. We employed confirmatory factor analysis to assess the construct validity and instrument dimensionality.

Results:

The final version of the TACCT was adequate, and its validity and reliability were confirmed.

Conclusion:

The Brazilian Portuguese version of the TACCT is valid and reliable, and it can be used to implement, review, and improve new curriculum content of Brazilian medical schools.
