Resumo: Oral mucositis is a side effect of cancer treatments, a limiting condition and of great impact on quality of life (QOL). The objective was to develop an instrument to evaluate QoL related to oral mucositis. Research through mixed methods, starting with qualitative interviews analyzed by the Bardin method and Reinert method, with the IRaMuTeQ software, followed by the Delphi method in four rounds of interviews and discussions with experts. The first version of the instrument underwent a pre-test with 10 patients, with quantitative and qualitative analysis, followed by another round of experts. The material of the qualitative interviews pointed out the terms pain and feeding as central in the experience of oral mucositis, besides providing several keywords for definition of constructs. Then 4 experts formulated 34 questions sent to 10 other experts from different regions and Brazilian institutions who analyzed the clarity, spelling and need of each question for the questionnaire. The relevant changes were made, reviewed and discussed again. The first version of the Oral Mucositis Impact Scale in Cancer Patients (EIMOPO) was presented to 10 patients who did not participate in the qualitative interviews and answered the degree of understanding and need of each question. The final analysis of the pre-test reformulated some tenses and words difficult to understand, forming the final version of the instrument. Although there are good instruments to measure QoL and oral mucositis, we present new questions about financial impacts, treatment interruption, saliva alteration, weight loss directly related to oral mucositis and psychosocial aspects.

El objetivo fue desarrollar un instrumento para evaluar la CV relacionada con la mucositis oral. Investigación a través de métodos mixtos, comenzando con entrevistas cualitativas analizadas por el método Bardin y el método Reinert, con el software IRaMuTeQ®, seguido por el método Delphi con cuatro rondas de entrevistas y discusiones con expertos. La primera versión del instrumento se sometió a una prueba previa con 10 pacientes, con análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, seguida de otra ronda de especialistas. El material de las entrevistas cualitativas señaló los términos dolor y alimentación como centrales en la experiencia de la mucositis oral, además de proporcionar varias palabras clave para definir los constructos. Con base en este material y en la literatura, 4 expertos formularon 34 preguntas enviadas a otros 10 especialistas de diferentes regiones e instituciones brasileñas que analizaron la claridad, ortografía y necesidad de cada pregunta para el cuestionario. Los cambios pertinentes se hicieron, revisaron y discutieron nuevamente. La primera versión de la Escala de Impactos de la Mucositis Oral en Pacientes con Cáncer (EIMOPO) fue presentada a 10 pacientes que no participaron en las entrevistas cualitativas y respondieron al grado de comprensión y necesidad de cada pregunta. El análisis final de la prueba previa reformuló algunos tiempos y palabras difíciles de entender, dando forma a la versión final del instrumento. Aunque existen buenos instrumentos para medir la CV y la mucositis oral, presentamos nuevas preguntas sobre los impactos financieros, la interrupción del tratamiento, la alteración de la saliva, la pérdida de peso directamente relacionada con la mucositis oral y los aspectos psicosociales.Mucosite oral é um efeito colateral dos tratamentos oncológicos, sendo conhecida como condição limitante e de grande impacto na qualidade de vida (QV).

Baseado nesse material e na literatura, 4 especialistas formularam 34 perguntas enviadas para outros 10 especialistas de diferentes regiões e instituições brasileiras que analisaram a clareza, ortografia e necessidade de cada pergunta para o questionário. As alterações pertinentes foram realizadas, revisadas e novamente discutidas. A primeira versão da Escala de Impactos da Mucosite Oral em Pacientes Oncológicos (EIMOPO) foi apresentada a 10 pacientes que não participaram das entrevistas qualitativas e responderam o grau de entendimento e necessidade de cada pergunta. A análise final do pré-teste reformulou alguns tempos verbais e palavras de difícil compreensão, dando forma a versão final do instrumento. Embora existam bons instrumentos para mensurar QV e mucosite oral, apresentamos novas questões sobre impactos financeiros, interrupção de tratamento, alteração de saliva, perda de peso relacionada diretamente com a mucosite oral e aspectos psicossociais.Research, Society and Development2023-07-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4246810.33448/rsd-v12i7.42468Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 No. 7; e7712742468Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 Núm. 7; e7712742468Research, Society and Development; v. 12 n. 7; e77127424682525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/42468/34376Copyright (c) 2023 Nayara Fernanda Pereira; Gustavo Hermes Soares; Amanda Silva Aragão; Edgard Michel-Crosato; Maria Gabriela Haye Biazevichttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Nayara Fernanda Soares, Gustavo Hermes Aragão, Amanda Silva Michel-Crosato, EdgardBiazevic, Maria Gabriela Haye 2023-08-03T14:15:19Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/42468Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2023-08-03T14:15:19Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
