Abstrakt: Objective: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Parental Perception on Antibiotics Scale (PAPA scale) for use in Brazil and assess the reliability of the Portuguese version. Methods: This is a methodological study for PAPA scale translation and cross-cultural adaptation, developed in six stages, which include initial translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, review by a committee of seven experts, application of a pre-test of the final version with 73 parents/guardians and submission for approval by the author of the original instrument, as recommended by Beaton. In addition to reliability, we used Cronbach's alpha, considering adequate > 0.7. Results: The translated and adapted version of PAPA scale was modified according to experts' suggestions for a better understanding of the target population. The pre-test showed that it is an instrument that is easy to apply and understand. The 36-item scale internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.86. Conclusion: PAPA scale translation and cross-cultural adaptation resulted in the first instrument to assess parents' and/or guardians' perception regarding using antibiotics at home by their children in the Brazilian context.
