Resumo

Device acceptance is a crucial factor in identifying implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients at risk for psychosocial distress and unfavorable quality of life outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of the validity of internal structure (construct) and reliability of the Florida Patient Acceptance Survey (FPAS) in a sample of ICD patients, comparing the psychometric indicators of the complete (FPAS-18 item) and abbreviated (FPAS-12 item) versions. The sample included 151 participants (97 males, mean age of 55.7 & PLUSMN; 14.1 years) who completed the cross-culturally adapted version of the FPAS instrument for the Brazilian context. The psychometric properties of both versions of the FPAS instrument were evaluated by two distinct approaches: & BULL; Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis: used to test the internal structure of the instrument & BULL; Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega: used to determine the reliability of the instrument The two versions of the FPAS-Br instrument showed consistent evidence of internal structure validity and reliability. However, the FPAS-Br 12-item showed a better psychometric adjustment, confirmed by the analysis of the quality indicators of the models. (AU)
