Objective: To translate and adapt transculturally (ATC) the “Parental Media Guidance Scale” for use in countries with children aged zero to five years.
Method: Methodological research conducted between June and August 2021, in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, in five stages: translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, evaluation by a committee of judges, and pre-test; the Content Validity Index was used to assess the agreement among the judges.
Results: The scale presented a Content Validity Index greater than 0.85. However, the values obtained for clarity (57.7%), relevance (71.2%), and pertinence (71.2%) were below 80%. The clarity criterion, with the lowest value, stood out among the three.
Conclusion: The scale/instrument can be used in Brazilian culture for evaluating parental mediation of screen time in children aged zero to five years. It can contribute to promoting the health of Brazilian families and guide the agendas of upbringing and improvement aimed at the well-being of families.
