The Importance of Cultural Adaptation
In 2019, Dr Eva Heim, from the University of Zurich and Dr Brandon Kohrt, from George Washington University, published the highly anticipated paper “Cultural Adaptation of Scalable Psychological Interventions: A New Conceptual Framework”. The paper, published in the journal Clinical Psychology in Europe, advocates for a theory-driven approach and innovative experimental designs in mental health interventions.

Estimados Sres/as:
Somos un grupo de profesores/as de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos en Madrid, departamento de enfermería, que estamos diseñando un proyecto de investigación cuyo objetivo es analizar la existencia de estigma social en los alumnos del grado de enfermería antes de comenzar las prácticas clínicas, entre otros queremos utilizar el cuestionario MAKS, en su versión español, vemos que está validado.
Necesitamos conocer el procedimiento que emplean para autorizar su utilización.
Esperamos su respuesta
Agradecemos su colaboración
Un saludo
