Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI): introdução e adaptação para o português - BR

Abstract

The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI) from Swedish to Portuguese-BR. The screening tool comprises two scales (Self-report and Other-report) with 14 items each. The translation and adaptation process adhered to the recommendations of the International Test Commission (ITC) and the systematization of these guidelines into stages, as proposed by Borsa et al. (2012). The calculations for the adjusted Content Validity Coefficient (CVCa) per item criterion, and the item Concordance Percentage (PCi) from the expert committee (n=5) and the target audience (n=22) were conducted. All CVCa values remained above 0.8, indicating a good validation index. The PCi values remained above 80%, with the exception of one item. The adaptation of this instrument, which is free and unrestricted, promotes clinical practice as well as the research practice of psychopedogogues, given the scarcity of executive functioning screening tools in the market.
