Translation of the Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare in Portuguese and cross-cultural adaptation for Portugal and Brazil.

Background: Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare (DASH©) is an instrument to assist in developing and evaluating debriefing skills. The objectives of this study were to translate the DASH from English to Portuguese and to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation of this translated instrument for Portugal and Brazil.

Methods: A forward translation of the DASH score sheets and Rater's Handbook was accomplished and reviewed by authors from both Portuguese-speaking countries to reach the consensus harmonized version.

Linguistic Validation of the Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare in Spanish and Cultural Validation for 8 Spanish Speaking Countries.

Introduction: Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare (DASH) is an instrument to assist in developing and evaluating faculty debriefing and instructional skills that, in the context of trained raters, yields reliable data and internal consistency. Support for its validity is grounded in both its content and the scores arising from its use. The utilization of this and other assessment tools, guidelines, and protocols is expanding internationally, but most of them are available only in English and there is not a single established methodology for translation.
