Main Article Content
Abstract
Objetivo: descrever o processo de tradução e de adaptação para a cultural brasileira da Ways of Religious Coping Scale por meio de diversas etapas metodológicas. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico visando à adaptação transcultural da Ways of Religious Coping Scale, original dos Estados Unidos, que avalia estratégias de enfrentamento religioso de um indivíduo. Para adaptá-la à cultura brasileira, obteve-se a autorização do autor da escala. Resultados: a tradução da Ways of Religious Coping Scale foi realizada por três professores de inglês independentes entre si. A primeira versão foi obtida a partir destas traduções e submetida a 10 juízes para a “Avaliação das Equivalências Semântica e Idiomática” e “Avaliação das Equivalências Cultural e Conceitual”, sendo cinco juízes para cada. Foram realizadas as alterações sugeridas e constituiu-se a Escala de Maneiras de Coping Religioso. Por fim, desenvolveu-se o Grupo Focal, no qual a Escala de Maneiras de Coping Religioso foi analisada por representantes de diferentes religiões e adotaram-se assim as mudanças sugeridas pelos participantes. Conclusão: A enfermagem tem se destacado como uma profissão importante que fica perto de pacientes e, portanto, a compreensão de termos e instrumentos que abordem a espiritualidade e a religiosidade é fundamental para oferecer cuidados de enfermagem, que vão desde a promoção da saúde para a reabilitação.

The suggested changes were made and constituted the Religious Coping Ways Scale.
