PO06 - Cross cultural validation of the preterm oral feeding readiness assessment scale (POFRAS).
Nursing Children and Young People 2016 May 10
UNLABELLED: Theme: Cross-cultural nursing.
INTRODUCTION: Preterm infants have to acquire neurological skills to begin breast or bottle feeding. The literature review suggested the need of a tool to assess the readiness of preterm infants for the transition from tube to oral feeding. Currently, there is not such a tool in the Italian context.
AIM: To perform the cross-cultural validation of POFRAS from English to Italian.
METHOD: We followed international guidelines to design and conduct the process (forward translations, synthesis, pilot test to assess the comprehensibility of the contents, back translations, synthesis).
RESULTS: The Italian version was approved by the author of POFRAS.
DISCUSSION: The validation process involved several professional figures (translators, paediatric nurses, a physiotherapist, a research nurse) to obtain conceptual and semantic correspondence between the two versions.
CONCLUSIONS: The Italian version of POFRAS is ready to undergo the statistical validation process, before it is used with the preterm infants.
