Abstract EN
We present the translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the Cervantes Scale to Brazilian Portuguese.
The Cervantes Scale (CS) was originally described in Spanish, and is a tool to measure health-related quality of life in perimenopausal and menopausal women.
A cross-sectional study was carried out with 180 women aged 45 to 64 years.
In addition to the CS, the following questionnaires were applied: Women's Health Questionnaire (WHQ) and abbreviated version of the World Health Organization’s Quality of Life Questionnaire (Abbreviated WHOQOL-bref).
In conclusion, the Brazilian Portuguese version of the CS is easy to apply and understand.
The evaluation of its psychometric properties was satisfactory, and it can be applied to assess health-related QoL in Brazilian perimenopausal and menopausal women.
