BAUTISTA-ESPINEL, Gloria Omaira et al. Cultural adaptation and validation of the EMCC-14 cultural competency instrument in Colombian health care professionals. Index Enferm [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp.120-124. Epub 21-Nov-2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective.
To carry out a cultural adaptation of the Cultural Competence Measurement Scale for Health Care Workers (EMCC-14) for the Colombian context.
Methodology:
cultural and content validation by expert judgment, including concordance and reliability analysis.
Main results:
the overall Kappa index of 0.151 implied a low agreement among coders and a concept of slight reliability. The following categories were explored: concordance, semantic content analysis, item wording, clarity and precision, and cultural relevance; concordance ranged from poor to acceptable, with semantic analysis showing greater affectation. After adjustments, the level of reliability for the scale and by dimensions obtained a Cronbach's alpha 0.738, which is interpreted as an acceptable level of reliability.
Main conclusion:
The version of the EMCC-14 culturally adapted to the Colombian context obtained an adequate level of comprehensibility and reliability, allowing its application to determine the level of cultural competence in health care workers.
