Cross-Cultural adaptation of the Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool in Colombia ; Adaptación transcultural del instrumento Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool en Colombia ; Hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) can result in mental and physical disturbances post-hospitalization for a person. In Colombia, there is little research that explores the early detection of psychological morbidity in the ICU. The aim of this study was to develop a version of the Intensive Care Psychology Assessment Tool (IPAT) in Spanish that is equivalent to the original instrument. Direct and reverse translations of the IPAT instrument were carried out with prior authorization from the authors and the participation of professional linguists. People with different sociodemographic profiles, hospitalized in the ICU, were interviewed to confirm the cultural adequacy of the Colombian version, as well as to compare it with the original version. It was found that items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 presented 100% comprehensibility, items 6, 7, 8, and 9 had 97.5% comprehensibility, and item 10 had 90% comprehensibility, requiring modifications. Life support measures such as mechanical ventilation, traumatic experiences, and memories of the hospital stay were detected as factors for the development of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is hoped that this study will be a reference point for new research based on cross-cultural adaptations related to psychological morbidity, in the field of nursing in Latin America. The Colombian version of the IPAT instrument derived from this cross-cultural adaptation is equivalent to the English one. This study represents a starting point for new research that aims to develop a personalized and validated instrument in Spanish that can be used regularly by nursing staff in the near future.
