Abstract

Objective: to translate, adapt and validate the Munro Scale for Brazilian patients in the perioperative period. Method: a methodological study conducted in six stages: translation, synthesis, backtranslation, adaptation by experts committee, pre-test, and validation of the instrument. The experts committee consisted of seven nurses. For the psychometric tests, 39 patients were selected in the pre-test stage, and 75 in the validation stage, and Cronbach's alpha, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient and the Content Validity Index were measured, as well as internal consistency with Friedman's test and concurrent validity with Spearman's correlation between the Munro Scale
and the ELPO instrument. Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.82, the Intraclass Correlation Index was 0.75, and the Content Validity Index was 0.89 in the adaptation phase by the evaluators. In the pre-test, Cronbach's alpha was 0.91, the Intraclass Correlation Index was 0.91, and there
was internal consistency (p<0.0001) and concurrent validity in the intraoperative period (0.38; p=0.018). In the validation stage, Cronbach's alpha was 0.86, the Intraclass Correlation Index was 0.86, and there was internal consistency (p=0.000) and concurrent validity in the intraoperative
period (0.30; p=0.010). Conclusion: the Munro Scale was translated, adapted and validated with good validity and reliability indices and presents itself as a reliable instrument to assess the risk of pressure ulcer in the perioperative period.
