Subsequently, the synthesis of the translations was carried out, and this synthesis was back translated to the original language (American English).The translated and back-translated versions were evaluated by an expert committee made up of six PhD experts from the health area. The judges' evaluations resulted in content validity indexes for each item of the scale, and 7 of the 36 items had to be revised.
