Abstract
Background: The increased demand for cosmetic facial treatments is a universal reality,
and Brazil is the second country with the most procedures. Quality of life
questionnaires can help assess results objectively and reveal data not yet
explored in the scientific literature. Thus, the process of translation,
adaptation, and validation of questionnaires is necessary for data
universalization.
Objective: To translate, adapt and validate a specific questionnaire to assess facial
cosmetics procedures in Brazilian Portuguese.
Methods: After choosing the Skin Rejuvenation Outcome Evaluation (SROE) questionnaire,
the translation process started. A literal translation was performed, with
the subsequent synthesis of the versions. Then, a team of experts conducted
the reverse translation and final validation. The data obtained were
statistically analyzed for validation.
Results: The final version was called "Avaliação dos Resultados de
Rejuvenescimento da Pele" (ARRP). The Cronbach’s resulted in values
above 0.70, showing good internal consistency. The Intraclass Correlation
Coefficient was 0.995 (p<0.001).
Conclusions: The values obtained validate the ARRP questionnaire, translated into the
Brazilian language and culture, aiming to evaluate the results and impact on
the quality of life of facial cosmetics procedures.
