Objective: to adapt to the Brazilian culture and validate the module
“Strategies to end seclusion restraint” of the QualityRights toolkit of
the World Health Organization on mental disorders to train health
professionals in Brazil. Method: it is a methodological study divided
into three stages. The modules were translated from the original
language (English) to the target language (Brazilian Portuguese) in the
first stage. In the second, the translation was assessed by a committee
of judges with seven experts. In the third stage, the assessment was
conducted by mental health professionals (nurses, psychologists, and
lawyers), in which seven mental health professionals participated.
They assessed the material using the Suitability Assessment of
Materials instrument. Results: in the assessment conducted by the
experts (n=7), 8 items assessed obtained 100% approval and the
other 6 items obtained lower approvals, with a total approval of 92%.
Regarding the assessment by health professionals (n=7), 2 items
had a maximum approval of 100% and the other had the approval of
86% each, with a total approval of 88%. Conclusion: based on the
results, it is considered that this module is adapted to the Brazilian
culture and can be used to train Brazilian health professionals.
