Objectives:
to cross-culturally adapt the Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile for Caregivers of Children aged less than 8 years for use in Brazil.
Methods:
a methodological study, following the stages of translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, judge committee, pilot test, pre-test and sending of the adapted version for approval by the instrument authors. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used to assess agreement among judges and to assess the understanding of the instrument among caregivers. For the overall score and dimensions of the instrument, Cronbach's alpha was used.
Results:
an CVI ≥0.87 was obtained for each item in the analysis carried out by the expert committee, and in the pilot test, CVI ≥0.80. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.94 for all dimensions, except for friendships and social interaction (alpha ≥0.70).
Conclusions:
the cross-cultural adaptation presented adequate results, supporting the validity of the translated version.
