Abstract

Objective: To translate and culturally adapt a chronic wound healing assessment instrument into Brazilian Portuguese. Method: A methodological
quantitative study was carried out based on the following stages: translation, translation synthesis, back-translation, revision by an expert committee,
and pre-test. The research was carried out in the healthcare units of the cities of Itajubá and Três Corações, in the state of Minas Gerais, with a sample
made up of 30 stomal therapy nurses and nurses with clinical practice in wound care. Content validity was evaluated by means of calculation of the
content validity index and the instrument’s feasibility. Result: The instrument was considered of easy application and understandability, indicating
that it can be used in the Brazilian culture. Regarding feasibility, the instrument’s average filling time was three minutes. The final instrument, with
alterations suggested by the experts, was sent to the author and approved. Conclusion: An instrument applicable to the Brazilian reality was created.
