Abstract

AIMS: To validate the Brazilian version of the Fresno test of competence in Evidence-Based Medicine.METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, validation study. Phase 1: translation of the Fresno instrument. Phase 2: validation of the translated version, which was tested in 70 undergraduate medical students. The psychometric properties evaluated were validity, internal consistency, and sensitivity to change.RESULTS: Overall, validity was adequate; most items showed a moderate to strong and significant correlation with the total score; there was an important and significant difference between both groups, with and without previous contact with Evidence-Based Medicine (median, 55 [IQ25-75, 45.2-61.7] vs. median, 18.5 [IQ25-75, 6.0-29.7]) (p <0.001). Internal consistency was also adequate (α-C 0.718), and sensitivity to change showed a considerable and significant difference between pre and post-test (median, 18.5 [IQ25-75, 6.0-29.7] vs. median, 44 [IQ25-75, 34.0-60.0]) (p <0.001).CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian version of the Fresno test showed satisfactory psychometric properties, and it can now be used as a tool to assess the knowledge and skills of Evidence-Based Medicine in Brazilian medical students.

巴西版的弗雷斯诺循证医学能力测试:一项验证研究

目的：验证巴西版本的弗雷斯诺循证医学能力测试。方法：这是一项横断面验证研究。第一阶段：弗雷斯诺文书的翻译。第二阶段：翻译版本的验证，在70名医学本科生中进行了测试。评估的心理测量特性包括有效性、内部一致性和对变化的敏感性。结果：总的来说，有效性是充分的；大多数项目与总分呈中到强且显著的相关性；两组之间存在重要而显著的差异，有和没有接触过循证医学（中位数，55[IQ25-75，45.2-61.7]与中位数，18.5[IQ25-75,6.0-29.7]）（p＜0.001）。内部一致性也足够（α-C 0.718），和对变化的敏感性显示，测试前后有相当大的显著差异（中位数18.5[IQ25-756.0-29.7]与中位数44[IQ25-75 34.0-60.0]）（p<0.001）。结论：巴西版本的弗雷斯诺测试显示出令人满意的心理测量特性，它现在可以用作评估巴西医学生循证医学知识和技能的工具。
