Background:
The identification of the methodological path followed by researchers in psychometric studies can contribute to maintaining the transparency and rigor necessary for the study.
Objective:
This study aims to map the methodological practices of adaptation of health measurement instruments.
Methods:
The protocol is based on the method proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute using the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). The following databases were consulted: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, LILACS, the Cochrane Library, and Embase. The search for data in gray literature sources was carried out in the following databases: WorldCat and the Brazilian Portal of Scientific Publications and Open Access Data (O Portal Brasileiro de Publicações e Dados Científicos em Acesso Aberto [OASISBR]). The search strategy was based on the participants, concept, and context framework: participants (researchers in methodological practices), concept (studies of adaptation of measuring instruments), and context (health area). The research will consider studies on methodological practices adopted to conduct adaptation studies of health measurement instruments. The selection of studies, data extraction, and synthesis will be carried out by 2 independent reviewers.
Results:
Data collection was carried out in the months of June and October 2025. The results will be presented in a narrative format and with tables or diagrams. The results are being prepared for publication and should be published by March 2026.
Conclusions:
This study will identify the current status and challenges faced by researchers in carrying out adaptation studies of health measurement instruments. The findings will contribute to the development of future research that promotes better psychometric evidence and advances science in nursing.
