Abstract(s)
Este estudo teve como objetivo adaptar culturalmente e validar o Maastricht Upper Extre-mity Questionnaire (MUEQ) para a população portuguesa, tornando-o num instrumento confiável para avaliar riscos físicos e psicossociais em trabalhadores que utilizam Equipa-mentos Dotados de Visor (EDV). Seguiram-se as recomendações de Beaton et al. (2000) e as diretrizes constantes no Consensus-Based Standart for the Selection of Health Mesu-rement Instruments (COSMIN), realizando tradução, retroversão e pré-teste. Este estudo envolveu 450 participantes de uma Unidade Local de Saúde (ULS) do Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS). O MUEQ-Pt demonstrou elevada concordância entre especialistas (AC1 > 0,81), boa consistência interna (ICC = 0,811) e alfa de Cronbach aceitável (0,725). A vali-dade de construto foi confirmada por análise fatorial exploratória (AFE), com variância acu-mulada dos domínios obtidos, entre 10% e 80%. Os resultados indicam que o MUEQ-Pt é uma ferramenta válida e confiável para avaliar riscos ocupacionais na população portuguesa.

We followed the recommendations of Beaton et al. (2000) and the guidelines contained in the Consensus-Based Standard for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN), translating, back-translating and pre-testing. This study involved 450 participants from a Local Health Unit (ULS) of the National Health Service (SNS). The MUEQ-Pt showed high agreement between experts (AC1 > 0.81), good internal consistency (ICC = 0.811) and acceptable Cronbach's alpha (0.725). Construct validity was confirmed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA), with cumulative variance of the domains obtained between 10% and 80%. The results indicate that the MUEQ-Pt is a valid and reliable tool for assessing occupational risks in the Portuguese population.
