Summary: | ABSTRACT To evaluate the functioning of individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) using a biopsychosocial model, recommended by the World Health Organization and sustained in the theoretical-conceptual framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), this study proposed validating the Brazilian version of WHODAS 2.0 (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule). The 36-item version of WHODAS 2.0 was applied to 100 participants with DM as validation procedures, using the measurement of Diabetes Quality of Life Measure (DQOL-Brazil) and a dynamometry. The psychometric properties analyzed were internal consistency (Cronbach Alpha coefficient) and convergent and divergent external validity (Spearman correlation coefficient). The internal consistency analysis was appropriate, except for the “having a good relationship with people” domain in the alpha Cronbach coefficient. External validity analysis confirmed the convergence hypothesis between the correlate domains of the different tools. The exception was the “life activities” domain (WHODAS) with the left-hand dynamometry. The Brazilian version of the WHODAS 2.0 instrument is a valid instrument to assess the functioning of these individuals.
RESUMEN Para evaluar las limitaciones funcionales de las personas con diabetes mellitus (DM) utilizando un modelo biopsicosocial, recomendado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud y anclado en el marco teórico-conceptual de la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud, este estudio propuso validar la versión brasileña de WHODAS 2.0 (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule). La versión de 36 ítems de WHODAS 2.0 se aplicó a 100 participantes con DM. Como procedimientos auxiliares de validación, se utilizaron la Diabetes Quality of Life Measure (DQOL-Brasil) y la dinamometría. Las propiedades psicométricas analizadas fueron la consistencia interna (coeficiente alfa de Cronbach) y la validez externa convergente y divergente (coeficiente de correlación de Spearman). El análisis de la consistencia interna fue apropiado, excepto en el dominio “llevarse bien con las personas” en el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. El análisis de validez externa confirmó la hipótesis de convergencia entre los dominios correlacionados de las diferentes herramientas. La excepción fue el dominio “actividades de la vida” (WHODAS) con la dinamometría izquierda. Se concluye que la versión brasileña |
