Abstract
FACANHA, Joyce Rodrigues et al. Validation of a translated and adapted professionalism assessment scale in a virtual simulation scenario. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2023, vol.47, n.1, e019. Epub Mar 08, 2023. ISSN 1981-5271. https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-5271v47.1-20220151.
Introduction:
“Professionalism Mini-Evaluation Exercise” (P-MEX) is an instrument that assesses 21 professionalism skills, distributed in four domains.
Objective:
To translate, adapt and analyze the validity of the medical professionalism evaluation exercise.
Methods:
After authorization from the author, the following tasks were performed: translation into Portuguese; linguistic equivalence and content validity analysis by education experts; operational validity analysis in virtual OSCE among medical clerkship students.
Results:
There was high equivalence of the items in the Brazilian Portuguese version by education specialists. The Scale Content Validity Index was 0.96. Six teachers validated the P-MEX in a simulation environment to 27 medical clerkship students.
Conclusion:
The Brazilian version of the P-MEX proved to be adequate to assess medical professionalism in the Brazilian context, and showed good operational validity in a virtual simulation scenario.
