Abstract
- ObjectivesMethodsResultsConclusionsClinical implicationsTo implement a transcultural adaptation of the Caregiver Guilt Questionnaire (CGQ) for the Brazilian population.Five stages were involved in the adaptation: two independent translations by Brazilian nationals fluent in Spanish; summary of translations produced; back-translation; evaluation by expert panel of judges (<italic>n</italic> = 5); and lastly, assessment by family caregivers (<italic>n</italic> = 30).semantic changes were made to render the items more relevant to Brazilian culture and replicate the five factors of guilt proposed by the original questionnaire.A Brazilian version of the questionnaire was produced and transculturally adapted for use in Brazil, allowing future validation and application.The CGQ allows healthcare professionals to quantify feelings of guilt. Clinicians and clinical researcher can use the scale to obtain more precise interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
