Abstract

Objective: to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the General Self Efficacy Scale-12 into Brazilian Portuguese. Method: this is a methodological study of cross-cultural adaptation of a self-efficacy instrument in which the steps of translation, synthesis, back-translation, semantic evaluation, content validation and pre-test were followed. Results: the translation and back-translation showed no changes in relation to the original version. Content and semantic validation were achieved and a content validity coefficient greater than 0.80 was obtained. Conclusion: after developing the methodological steps, the scale was duly adapted to the Brazilian culture and presents conceptual, semantic, cultural and operational equivalence in relation to the original version. Therefore, this instrument has potential to be used for measuring self-efficacy.
