(1) Background: Onychomycosis (OM) is a fungal nail infection, considered a risk factor for diabetic foot ulcers. It is associated with changes in quality of life, in terms of pain, self-confidence and self-esteem. The aim was to translate and adapt the OM quality of life questionnaire "OnyCOE-t-Quality Of Life Questionnaire Onychomycosis (Nail Fungal Condition)". (2) Methods: This study followed the guidelines proposed by Beaton et al. (2000), where two English to Portuguese translations were performed and, after an expert consensus, a common version was obtained. This was followed by two back-translations. The expert committee achieved semantic equivalence, idioms and concepts. The pre-test was applied to 49 people. The final version and processed data were sent to the authors. (3) Results: We adapted terms semantically, modified statements syntactically, altering items from interrogative to affirmative. (4) Conclusions: The translated version of the "Quality of life-Onychomycosis" questionnaire suggested that it can be used for further studies to test validity and reliability in this population.
(1) 背景：甲癣（OM）是一种指甲真菌感染，被认为是糖尿病足溃疡的一个危险因素。它与生活质量在疼痛、自信心和自尊方面的变化相关。目的是翻译并改编甲癣生活质量问卷“甲癣生活质量问卷（指甲真菌病）”。(2) 方法：本研究遵循Beaton等人（2000年）提出的指南，进行了两次从英语到葡萄牙语的翻译，经过专家共识后获得了一个通用版本。随后进行了两次回译。专家委员会实现了语义等效、习语和概念的等效。对49人进行了预测试。最终版本和处理后的数据被发送给了作者。(3) 结果：我们在语义上调整了术语，在句法上修改了陈述，将问题项改为肯定项。(4) 结论：“甲癣生活质量”问卷的翻译版本表明，它可用于进一步研究，以检验该人群中的有效性和可靠性。
