RESUMEN
Introducción: La actualización y evaluación de libros de texto es esencial en el proceso educativo; sin embargo, en idioma español no se encuentran instrumentos para evaluarlos en el área de ciencias de la salud. Objetivo: Llevar a cabo la adaptación transcultural y validación de contenido del instrumento Texas Textbook Eva-luation Tool. Método: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal con componente psicométrico. Se realizó la adaptación transcul-tural con traducción directa, síntesis de traducciones, traducción inversa, consolidación de traducciones en juicio de expertos y aplicación de una prueba piloto. Todo ello seguido del análisis de fiabilidad interobservador y la consistencia interna a través del alfa ordinal y el análisis factorial confirmatorio.Resultados: Se modificó un ítem que obtuvo un 36,66% de discrepancia. Se obtuvo un alfa de Cronbach de 0,98 y una kappa de Cohen de 0,91. Las pruebas de esfericidad de Barlett y Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin dieron como resulta-do 0,00 y 0,93, respectivamente. Así, se obtuvo en el análisis factorial confirmatorio que todas las variables se agrupan en las seis dimensiones propuestas. Conclusiones: Se realizó una apropiada implementación de los métodos. Los resultados obtenidos destacan la confianza e idoneidad del instrumento. El instrumento presenta una excelente consistencia interna, y se comprobó que mide las dimensiones para las que fue diseñado.
Introduction: The updating and evaluation of textbooks is essential in the educational process, however, in the Spanish language there are no instruments to evaluate them in Health Sciences. Objective: To make a cross-cultural adaptation and content validation of the Texas Textbook Evaluation Tool. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study with a psychometric component, cross-cultural adaptation is carried out with direct translation, translation synthesis, reverse translation, consolidation of trans-lations in expert judgment and pilot test application. Followed by inter-observer reliability analysis and internal consistency through ordinal alpha and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: One item was modified that obtained a 36% discrepancy. An ordinal alpha of 0.98 and Cohen's Kappa index of 0.91 were obtained. The Bartlett and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin sphericity tests resul-ted in 0.00 and 0.93 respectively, obtaining in the confirmatory factorial analysis that all the variables are grouped in the 6 proposed dimensions. Conclusions: An appropriate implementation of the methods, the results obtained highlight the con-fidence and suitability of the instrument. The instrument has excellent internal consistency, and it was verified that it measures the dimensions for which it was designed.
Introdução: A atualização dos livros de texto é essencial no processo educacional em Ciências da Saúde, mas no idioma espanhol não há instrumentos para sua avaliação. Objetivo: Adaptação transcultural e validação do instrumento Texas Textbook Evaluation Tool. Método: A tradução, retrotradução, teste piloto, confiabilidade, consistência interna e análise de fatores exploratórios foram abrangidos. Resultados: Um item foi modificado com uma discrepância de 36,66%. Foi obtido um coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0,98 e o índice Kappa de Cohen de 0,91. Os testes de esfericidade de Barlett e Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin resultaram em 0,00 e 0,93 respetivamente. Conclusões: Os métodos foram implementados adequadamente, e os resultados obtidos destacam a confiança e adequação do instrumento

Abstract Introduction: The use of clinical cases in simulated environments allows for a more realistic approach to the simulated health condition, which results in a more effective training experience for students, as they are immersed in situations they may encounter in their professional practice. Objective: To determine the face validity of a low back pain clinical case as a clinical simulation tool in the training of physical therapy students. Materials and methods: Study conducted to determine the face validity of a low back pain clinical case presented to physical therapy students. The case has 9 items, which were evaluated by 5 expert raters. Agreement between raters regarding the pertinence, relevance, coherence, clarity, and sufficiency of the case was established using the Fleiss' Kappa coefficient. Results: Fleiss ' Kappa for the simulated case was 0.67 (substantial agreement), and for items 1, 2, 4, and 9 was 0.97, 1.0, 0.89, and 1.0, respectively (almost perfect agreement). Furthermore, the percentage of case comprehensibility (9 items) was 95.2. Conclusion: The face validity of the low back pain clinical case was confirmed, so its use in clinical simulation practices in the physical therapy programs offered by the Universidad de La Sabana and Universidad de Boyacá in Colombia is valid.
Resumen Introducción. El uso de casos clínicos en ambientes simulados brinda un mejor acercamiento a la condición de salud que se intenta simular, lo que permite una mejor formación de los estudiantes al verse inmersos en situaciones a las que podrían enfrentarse en su práctica profesional. Objetivo. Determinar la validez aparente de un caso clínico de dolor lumbar como herramienta de simulación clínica en la formación de estudiantes de fisioterapia. Materiales y métodos. Estudio realizado para determinar la validez de apariencia de un caso clínico de dolor lumbar para ser abordado por estudiantes de fisioterapia, el cual presenta nue -ve elementos evaluados por cinco jueces expertos. La concordancia entre los jueces respecto a la pertinencia, relevancia, coherencia, claridad y suficiencia del caso se estableció mediante el coeficiente Kappa de Fleiss. Resultados. El Kappa de Fleiss para el caso simulado fue 0.67 (acuerdo sustancial), y para los elementos 1, 2, 4 y 9 fue 0.97, 1.0, 0.89 y 1.0, respectivamente (acuerdo casi perfecto). Además, el porcentaje de comprensibilidad del caso (9 ítems) fue 95.2. Conclusión. La validez aparente del caso clínico fue confirmada, por lo que su uso en prácticas de simulación clínica en los programas de fisioterapia de la Universidad de La Sabana y la Universidad de Boyacá en Colombia es válido.
RESUMEN
High body fat is related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) in all ethnic groups. Based on the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition of MetS, the aim of this study was to explore thresholds of body fat percentage (BF%) and fat mass index (FMI) for the prediction of MetS among Colombian University students. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1687 volunteers (63.4% women, mean age = 20.6 years). Weight, waist circumference, serum lipids indices, blood pressure, and fasting plasma glucose were measured. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and FMI was calculated. MetS was defined as including more than or equal to three of the metabolic abnormalities according to the IDF definition. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was used to determine optimal cut-off points for BF% and FMI in relation to the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity in both sexes. The overall prevalence of MetS was found to be 7.7%, higher in men than women (11.1% vs. 5.3%; p < 0.001). BF% and FMI were positively correlated to MetS components (p < 0.05). ROC analysis indicated that BF% and FMI can be used with moderate accuracy to identify MetS in university-aged students. BF% and FMI thresholds of 25.55% and 6.97 kg/m² in men, and 38.95% and 11.86 kg/m² in women, were found to be indicative of high MetS risk. Based on the IDF criteria, both indexes' thresholds seem to be good tools to identify university students with unfavorable metabolic profiles.
