Resumo
The evaluation and measurement of pain in
individuals with dementia and unable to communicate
verbally has been a challenging experience.
The Non-communicative Patient’s Pain
Assessment Instrument (NOPPAIN) is an instrument
that evaluates this phenomenon by observing
behaviors that express pain. Considering the
lack of instruments for this purpose in Brazil, the
current study was designed to translate the NOPPAIN
instrument into Brazilian Portuguese and
culturally adapt it to the Brazilian reality. This
was a methodological study, with Guillemin et al.
as the theoretical reference. The study included
four steps: translation; obtaining a consensus
version; back-translation; and evaluation of the
translation and back-translation by an expert
panel. In this initial approach, the NOPPAIN-Br
showed semantic equivalence to the original instrument
and is now available in Brazilian Portuguese
for further validation.
