Objetivo: Traducir, adaptar y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity para cuidadores, para la cultura brasileña.
Método: Estudio metodológico, desarrollado entre febrero y noviembre de 2025, en un municipio de tamaño medio en el noroeste de Paraná, Brasil. El proceso siguió dos etapas secuenciales: traducción y adaptación intercultural, siguiendo el marco metodológico del grupo Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy; y evaluación psicométrica de la versión brasileña, aplicada a cuidadores informales.
. Resultados: La escala mostró buena consistencia interna, con el alfa de Cronbach de 0,868, indicando una alta homogeneidad entre los ítems, y el omega total fue de 0,790, un valor considerado adecuado para instrumentos unidimensionales.
Conclusión: La versión del cuestionario Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity para cuidadores informales mostró un análisis factorial confirmatorio, considerando una estructura de un solo factor con 12 ítems, presentando índices de ajuste adecuados, que respaldan el modelo propuesto.
