The study aimed to accomplish a cross-cultural adaptation of the 'Diabetes - 39 - D-39' instrument for Brazil, to test the validity of the adapted version in a sample of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to describe the participants of the study, according to the scores obtained on the Likert-type scale. The instrument adaptation process followed several steps: instrument translation; achievement of the consensus in Portuguese; evaluation by an expert committee; back-translation; achievement of the consensus in English; comparison of the original and consensus versions in English; semantic analysis and pre-test of the Portuguese version. Results showed that the instrument items, in the first stage of cultural adaptation to Portuguese, presented high internal consistency levels.
该研究旨在对“糖尿病-39-D-39”工具进行巴西的跨文化改编，在2型糖尿病患者样本中测试改编版本的有效性，并根据李克特量表获得的分数描述研究参与者。工具改编过程遵循了几个步骤：工具翻译；达成葡萄牙语共识；由专家委员会评估；回译；达成英语共识；比较英语的原始版本和共识版本；语义分析和葡萄牙语版本的预测试。结果表明，在文化适应葡萄牙语的第一阶段，工具项目呈现出较高的内部一致性水平。
