This study aims to adapt a questionnaire about the knowledge, beliefs and behaviors regarding HPV and related subjects into Brazilian Portuguese.
National Survey.
The instrument was translated into Portuguese and retranslated into English separately. Experts assessed the validity of the content and cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument. The instrument was administered to 8580 male and female Brazilian adolescents and young adults (aged between 16 and 25 years) who participated in the National Survey of Human Papillomavirus Prevalence (POP-Brazil). This large-scale survey enrolled participants from 26 Brazilian capitals and the Federal District.
The full questionnaire is composed of 30 questions, with a good absolute agreement between its two halves (61.16 ± 9.97). The preventive behavior section showed the lowest agreement. Men and women showed a difference concerning their knowledge about HPV (score for men 0.48 (± 8.93) vs. women 0.55 (± 4.51), p < 0.001).
The proposed questionnaire is the first instrument able to describe the knowledge, beliefs and behaviors regarding HPV and related subjects in Brazilian women and men. This questionnaire appears to be adequate for use in future studies that may produce evidence and knowledge on these specific topics.
本研究旨在将一份关于人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）及相关主题的知识、信念和行为的问卷改编为巴西葡萄牙语。
全国性调查。
该问卷先被翻译成葡萄牙语，然后再分别回译成英语。专家们评估了问卷内容的有效性以及跨文化适应性。该问卷被发放给8580名巴西青少年及青年（年龄在16至25岁之间）男女，他们参与了全国人乳头瘤病毒流行情况调查（巴西POP调查）。这项大规模调查纳入了来自巴西26个首府和联邦区的参与者。
完整问卷由30个问题组成，问卷两半部分之间的绝对一致性良好（61.16 ± 9.97）。预防行为部分的一致性最低。男性和女性在HPV知识方面存在差异（男性得分0.48（± 8.93），女性得分0.55（± 4.51），p < 0.001）。
所提出的问卷是首个能够描述巴西男性和女性关于HPV及相关主题的知识、信念和行为的工具。该问卷似乎适用于未来可能产生关于这些特定主题的证据和知识的研究。
