Abstract
Objective: translate and adapt the Facilitator Competency Rubric to the Portuguese language and the Brazilian culture, and analyze the measurement properties. Method: methodological study that completed the steps of translation, synthesis of translations, back translation, review by a Committee of Experts composed of 7 professionals, testing of the pre-final version with 33 simulation facilitators, and submission to the author of the original instrument. For content validation, the Content Validity Index and the modified Kappa Coefficient were calculated. For reliability, Cronbach’s α and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient were evaluated by 52 and 15 simulation facilitators, respectively. Results: two rounds of content evaluation were carried out, resulting in changes to 19 items in the first evaluation and 3 items in the second. The overall scale achieved a Cronbach’s α of 0.98 and an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient of 0.95 to 0.97. Conclusion: the Facilitator Competency Rubric was translated and culturally adapted to the Brazilian reality and presented content validity, reliability and stability, with safe results for use in teaching and research.
