Abstract

Objective: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the New Scale of Sexual Satisfaction (NSSS-BR) into Brazilian Portuguese for people living with HIV (PLHIV).

Methods: This was a five-stage methodological study: translation, expert review, back-translation, semantic analysis, and pre-testing. The sample included 10 raters, 43 PLHIV in the test, and 40 in the pretest, conducted between November and December 2023 at a nursing school and a specialized HIV/AIDS service in São Paulo. Inclusion criteria varied by stage and included clinical experience, scientific publications, language proficiency, legal age, and ongoing clinical care. Data were collected via REDCap® and analyzed using SPSS®.

Results: The Content Validity Index (CVI) was satisfactory: Individual CVI ranging from 0.87 to 0.99, and Global CVI of 0.90. Most participants considered the scale understandable and appropriate.

Conclusion: The Brazilian version has been adapted, is understandable, and is culturally equivalent to the original.
