Abstract

Objective: To adapt culturally the System Usability Scale to Brazilian Portuguese and assess its internal consistency and structural construct validity. Materials and methods: This methodological study of a measurement instrument’s cultural adaptation included the initial translation, the translations’ synthesis, the back-translation, the evaluation by a committee of eight experts, testinh with a sample of 100 students, who evaluated the usability of the WhatsApp application, and the evaluation of structural construct validity by exploratory factor analysis. Results: The judges validated the Brazilian version of the System Usability Scale in the second round. It was revealed that, following the structural construct validation, the version had a unidimensional structure and an acceptable level of reliability (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.76). Besides, in the usability test, no suggestions for change were made. Conclusions: It is worth noting that the Brazilian version of this scale was semantically, idiomatically, conceptually, and culturally equivalent to the original English version and showed adequate reliability and structural construct validity.

系统可用性量表在巴西葡萄牙语中的翻译与跨文化适应

目的:对巴西葡萄牙语系统可用性量表进行文化调整，评估其内部一致性和结构构念效度。材料与方法:对测量工具的文化适应性进行方法学研究，包括初始翻译、译文综合、反翻译、由8位专家组成的委员会的评估、100名学生的样本测试(学生评估WhatsApp应用程序的可用性)以及探索性因子分析对结构构式效度的评估。结果:评委在第二轮中验证了巴西版本的系统可用性量表。经结构构念验证，该版本具有单维结构和可接受的信度水平(Cronbach 's alpha为0.76)。此外，在可用性测试中，没有提出任何更改建议。结论:值得注意的是，该量表的巴西语版本在语义、习语、概念和文化上与原英语版本相当，并显示出足够的信度和结构构念效度。
