To translate, adapt and validate the contents of the Brazilian version of the Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory.
The process of translation and adaptation of the initial instructions and items involved five steps: (1) translation; (2) back translation; (3) correction and semantic adaptation; (4) content validation by professional experts (judges); and (5) test of final version through a verbal-numbered scale. As performance indicators for understanding, the scores of central tendency (mean) and dispersion (standard deviation) were calculated for each item in step 5. Satisfactory comprehension was defined as a mean score ≥ 3. RESULTS The 36 questions and the initial instructions were translated and adapted to create the Brazilian version of the Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory. In the final stage of testing, 45 adults answered the items and demonstrated an adequate understanding of the instrument in the verbal-numbered scale (M = 4.13; dp = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS The Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory is an easily understood and semantically valid instrument. Further studies are needed to verify and evaluate the appropriateness of its psychometric properties for the Brazilian population.
翻译、改编并验证巴西版创伤后认知清单的内容。
初始说明和项目的翻译及改编过程共涉及五个步骤：（1）翻译；（2）回译；（3）修正和语义改编；（4）由专业专家（评审员）进行内容验证；以及（5）通过口头数字标度测试最终版本。在步骤 5 中，每个项目的理解表现指标为集中趋势（均值）和离散程度（标准差）的得分。满意的理解定义为平均分≥3。
36 个问题和初始说明被翻译和改编，以创建巴西版创伤后认知清单。在最终测试阶段，45 名成年人回答了项目，并在口头数字标度上表现出对该工具的充分理解（M=4.13；dp=0.11）。
创伤后认知清单是一个易于理解且语义有效的工具。需要进一步的研究来验证和评估其对巴西人群的心理测量特性的适当性。
