| Resumo: | The objective of this study was to translate, to adapt culturally and to verify the semantic equivalence from english to portuguese of the Cocaine Selective Severity Assessment (CSSA), which evaluates the withdrawal for cocaine. The CSSA was translated from English to Portuguese, administered to 10 persons, and then submitted to brainstorming in a group of 3 psychiatrics for individual and verbal reproduction, item by item. Backtranslation was executed based on first translation and from brainstorming to the origin language. Then, it was translated again into Portuguese. The entire process was analyzed by a committee of psychiatrists with expertise in addiction, which emitted opinions and the pertinent comments. The scale in its general scope was well understood by both patients and professionals. Few changes were done from the first translation to final version in items 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 e 12. To the others items, the original translation was kept. Statements were added to the end of all items. Considering the opinions of the experts and a final pilot study, was constructed the final Brazilian version of the CSSA. Results indicated a satisfactory semantic equivalence between the two versions and so the CSSA may be helpful instrument in treating withdrawal of cocaine / crack. |
