- Abstract
Objectives: To culturally adapt the instrument 'Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire' (EBPQ) to the Portuguese language and assess its psychometric qualities. Methods: The steps of cultural adaptation of measurement instruments were followed. Reliability was verified through internal consistency, stability by test-retest, and construct validity by the contrasted groups approach. Results: High Cronbach's alpha (0.91 to 0.68) and satisfactory Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (0.90) were obtained in all domains. In assessing construct validity, significant differences were found between groups of nurses with different backgrounds. Conclusion: The steps of cultural adaptation of measurement instruments have been successfully completed. The Brazilian version obtained presents reliable psychometric properties for its use in this population.
