Abstract Objective Perform the validation and psychometric evaluation of the Brazilian-Portuguese translation of the Functional Outcome of Sleep Questionnaire 10 (FOSQ10). Materials and methods 182 patients (65 females 48.3 ± 14.4 years and 117 males 46.9 ± 12.4 years), were evaluated by sleep physicians suspected of having Obstructive Sleep Apnea, underwent polysomnography and completed the FOSQ-10 and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. APA & NCME, 2014 was used to validate the data as the American Educational Research Association recommended. Results Quality indicators such as Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ2 = 1108.2; gL = 45; p = 0.000010) and KMO (0.83), and adherence measures, attest to the quality of the model. The indicators TLI (0.97), CFI (0.98), and RMSEA (0.04) fall within the expected values. Using the Eigenvalue > 1 technique, two factors explain 53% and 13.3% of the variances. In the Parallel Analysis technique, a single factor explained 59.4653% of the random variance, and the Unidimensionality indicators UniCo = 0.921, ECV = 0.822, and MIREAL = 0.253, were supported. Construct Validity: reliability coefficients Cronbach’s α = 0.87, McDonald’s ordinal Omega index 0.9, and the Composite Reliability 0.891 were satisfactory. Convergent validity There was a significant Spearman correlation between FOSQ-10 and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (r = 0.364 [−0.487; −0.226]). Criterion validity Was not possible to differentiate the groups based on the severity of AHI using FOSQ-10P. Conclusions The Brazilian translation of FOSQ-10 is valid and reliable for identifying significant effects of excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o viés de classificação do grau de laceração perineal no parto normal entre pesquisadora e enfermeiras obstétricas atuantes como juízas na pesquisa. MÉTODOS: Foi adotado o Ciclo PDSA (Plan,Do,Study and Act) realizando-se avaliações independentes das condições perineais de 26 mulheres, antes (etapa 1) e após a apresentação do protocolo de pesquisa às enfermeiras (etapa 2). Os dados foram coletados, no ano de 2007, no Amparo Maternal, instituição situada no Município de São Paulo-SP. Participaram 14 enfermeiras e uma pesquisadora. RESULTADOS: Na etapa 1, ocorreram 72,7% de repetibilidade e concordância e, na etapa 2, estas características totalizaram 66,7%, indicando persistência do viés na classificação do grau de laceração perineal. CONCLUSÃO: A ausência de 100% de repetibilidade e concordância entre pesquisadora e enfermeiras juízas evidenciou a necessidade de adoção de uma classificação mais precisa do grau de laceração mediante capacitação dessas profissionais.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the bias of perineal laceration classification, between the researcher and nurse midwives who functioned as experts within the research project. METHODS: The PDSA Cycle (Plan, Do, Study and Act) was used, with independent assessments of the perineal conditions of 26 women before (step 1) and after (step 2) presenting the research protocol to nurse midwives. Data were collected in 2007 at Amparo Maternal, an institution located in São Paulo-SP. Fourteen nurse midwives and one researcher participated. RESULTS: In step 1, we obtained 72.7% repeatability and agreement between the researcher and nurse midwives. During step 2, these characteristics decreased to 66.7%, indicating the persistence of bias in determining the degree of perineal laceration. CONCLUSION: The lack of 100% repeatability and agreement between the researcher and expert nurse midwives highlights the need for adopting a more precise classification for the degree of laceration, through education of these professionals.
