Objectives:
To implement a transcultural adaptation of the Caregiver Guilt Questionnaire (CGQ) for the Brazilian population.
Methods:
Five stages were involved in the adaptation: two independent translations by Brazilian nationals fluent in Spanish; summary of translations produced; back-translation; evaluation by expert panel of judges (n = 5); and lastly, assessment by family caregivers (n = 30).
Results:
semantic changes were made to render the items more relevant to Brazilian culture and replicate the five factors of guilt proposed by the original questionnaire.
Conclusions:
A Brazilian version of the questionnaire was produced and transculturally adapted for use in Brazil, allowing future validation and application.
Clinical Implications:
The CGQ allows healthcare professionals to quantify feelings of guilt. Clinicians and clinical researcher can use the scale to obtain more precise interventions.
