Results: The translation showed differences between the translations, in the synthesis the most appropriate and predominant option was T2. The cross-cultural translation process resulted in 10 domains and 34 attributes. When generating items, the instrument now has 12 domains and 57 attributes, with thecontent validation coefficient (CVR) which revealed values ​​between 0.55 and 0.96. In the panel of 31 judges, two attributes presented insufficient CVR, indicating the need for adjustment.
