Abstract:
The Cardiac Patients Learning Needs Inventory (CPLNI) was constructed to assess the learning needs of patients with cardiac disease. This study aimed to compare the results of semantic validations of the CPLNI version adapted to Portuguese, involving 40 Brazilian and 16 Portuguese patients hospitalized for coronary artery disease treatment. The participants were individually interviewed and answered to sociodemographic and clinic characterization instrument, to the adapted CPLNI, and to the semantic validation instrument. In CPLNI's general assessment, most patients, both Brazilians and Portuguese, considered the instrument adequate, easy to understand and complete. The semantic validation of the CPLNI showed the need for some changes in its writing with a view to the semantic adaptation of the instrument for use in Portugal and Brazil.
