Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to culturally adapt the Adaptation Scale to Elimination Ostomy for the Brazilian Portuguese language and to evaluate the content validity. Method: a methodological study, which stages of cultural adaptation were: adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese; committee of seven experts to evaluate the semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalences; and pre-test with 30 people with ostomy, performed between 2016 and 2017. The content validation was then performed, according to the Content Validity Coefficient greater than or equal to 0.80 and kappa coefficient. Results: the target population demonstrated good understanding in the pre-test. The Content Validity Coefficient of the scale reached values of 0.9 for the criteria: language clarity, practical relevance and theoretical relevance, and for the “dimension” category, the kappa mean value (0.587). Conclusion: the Adaptation Scale to Elimination Ostomy, built and validated originally in Portugal, was culturally adapted to Brazil, constituting an easy-to-understand resource, but it is still necessary to attest the psychometric properties of this version.

Summary
Objetivo: adaptar culturalmente a Escala de Adaptação à Ostomia de Eliminação para a língua portuguesa do Brasil e avaliar a validade de conteúdo. Objetivo: adaptar culturalmente la Escala de Adaptación a la Ostomía de Eliminación a la lengua portuguesa de Brasil y evaluar la validez de contenido. Conclusión: la Escala de Adaptación a la Ostomía de Eliminación, construida y validada en un principio en Portugal, se adecuó culturalmente para Brasil, constituyéndose así en un recurso de fácil comprensión, pero aún es necesario que las propiedades psicométricas de esta versión sean testadas. Depending on the segment that will be externalized, the ostomy will have purpose of breathing, feeding or elimination ad it may be temporary or permanent/definitive.[1] In the group of ostomies, there are those of elimination, which may be intestinal – colostomy and ileostomy –, or urinary – urostomies –, the most found in clinical practice.[2]. In Piauí, eight cases are estimated for every 100,000 men and 7.31 cases for every 100,000 women.[3]
