Resumen
PEDRAS, Susana et al. Translation, adaptation and validation of the amputation experience scales (TAPES-R-PT). Psic., Saúde & Doenças [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.2, pp.466-481. Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 1645-0086. https://doi.org/10.15309/21psd220212.
The Trinity Amputation and Prosthetics Experience Scale-revised (TAPES-R) allows a multidimensional assessment of the psychosocial adjustment to the prosthesis. This study presents the translation, adaptation, validity and reliability of the Portuguese version of TAPES-R-PT for amputees without prosthesis. Participated in this study 144 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and lower limb amputation, mostly male gender (70.8%) with a mean age of 66 years old (SD=10.7). Confirmatory Factor Analysis suggested a good fit in a model with three factors in Psychosocial Adjustment (General Adjustment, Social Adjustment, Adjustment to Limitations), and a one-dimensional factor in Activity Restriction Scale. The internal consistency values were adequate and the significant correlations with SF-36 and HADS showed evidence of convergent validity. The Portuguese version of TAPES-R-PT proves to be a useful, understandable and brief instrument to be used in clinical practice, during routine assessments and in the context of research in order to assess and monitor the amputation adjustment process.
