Abstract
Objective
To translate and validate the Educational Practices Questionnaire (Student Version) for the Portuguese language.
Methods
Methodological instrument translation and validation study. For the validation process, the event: III Workshop Brazil – Portugal: Care for Critical Patients was set up.
Results
103 nurses participated in the research. The psychometric tests (scale validity and reliability, correlation pattern between the variables, goodness-of-fit test of the sample and sphericity) presented satisfactory results. The clusters found in the factor analysis were not in accordance with the literature. Therefore, the division the original authors had made was followed.
Conclusion
The scale was called: Questionário de Práticas Educativas. The findings demonstrated good psychometric properties and suitable potential use. Further research is needed to consolidate the questionnaire and expand its dimensionality.
