Summary:Abstract Introduction: The Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP 2) is being used as a generic tool to document its effectiveness, together with the evaluation of health systems and their interventions. Objective: To assess the cultural adaptation and reproducibility of the Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP2) questionnaire in a sample of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: The study sample consisted of 50 patients undergoing cardiac surgery for myocardial and valve revascularization, which were recruited from the cardiac ICU of a private hospital in Maceió, Alagoas. The MYMOP2 questionnaire was initially translated into Brazilian Portuguese. Cultural and conceptual adaptation were performed, so that patients were able to understand questions. All patients answered this instrument twice, on the same day, with two different interviewers, with an interval of 30 minutes between the interviews. After one day, the questionnaire was repeated on a second visit. This process was carried out with MYMOP and MYMOP2 FOLLOW UP. Reproducibility and validity were tested. Results: Cultural adaptations were made, so that the final version was obtained. Spearman correlation coefficient for MYMOP2 was 1 and FOLLOW UP was 0.794, p < 0.001. There were moderate correlations with the domains of the EQ-5D. MYMOP2 was validated and supported by a significant correlation between change scores and MYMOP2 change scores and the ability to detect an improvement in acute conditions. Conclusion: MYMOP2 questionnaire is reproducible, easy to understand and quick to apply. It should be included and used in any Brazilian study with the objective to assess disease impact over time. Resumo Introdução: O Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP2) está sendo usado como um instrumento genérico para documentar sua eficácia, juntamente com avaliação dos sistemas de saúde e suas intervenções Objetivo: Avaliar a adaptação cultural e reprodutibilidade do questionário em uma amostra de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca. Método: A amostra constou de 50 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca, recrutados na UTI Cardíaca de um hospital particular em Maceió-AL. Todos os pacientes responderam duas vezes a este instrumento, no mesmo dia, com dois entrevistadores distintos, com intervalo de 30 minutos de uma entrevista para a outra. Depois de um dia, a aplicação do questionário foi repetida numa segunda visita. Este processo foi realizado com o MYMOP2 e com o MYMOP2 FOLLOW UP. Foram testadas a reprodutibilidade e validade dos mesmos. Resultados: Foram feitas as adaptações culturais até ser obtida a versão final. O coeficiente de correlação de Spearman para o MYMOP 2 foi de 1 e o FOLLOW UP foi de 0,794, com p<0,001. Houve correlações moderadas com os domínios do EQ-5D. O MYMOP2 foi validado apoiado pela correlação significativa entre o escore de mudança e a mudança na pontuação MYMOP2 e a capacidade deste instrumento para detectar uma melhora em condições agudas. Conclusão: O questionário MYMOP2 é reprodutível, de fácil compreensão e rápida aplicação, devendo ser incluído e utilizado em qualquer estudo brasileiro em que se queira avaliar o impacto das doenças ao longo do tempo.
