RESUMO:

The social support is understood as dynamic process and complex process that involves interactions between subjects and their social networks providing and complementing the individual resources they have to face new requirements. For the measurement of the social support has been observed and increasing interest in the using of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), developed in United States. The scale has already been adapted for a several countries and showed and presented satisfactory psychometric characteristics. Based on these aspects, this research is an descriptive,analytical and transversal adaptation that has as aim to promote the MSPSS cross cultural adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese. For this purpose the cross cultural method of adaptation (ATC) was used, using the following equivalence stages: conceptual, of itens, semantic, operational and of measurement. As the result of the three first stages an overview version of the MSPSS was made. As result of the two last equivalences the final overview version and the validated version for Brazil was made. In addition to the MSPSS, the Social Support Scale and the CES-D in the measurement equivalence, with the collected data were Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Exploratory Graph Analysis resulting in a model with three dimensions that were the following: significant other, friends and family, similarly to the original. This version also presented convergent validity, divergent confirmed by the correlations between the MSPSS factors and the social support scored(convergent) and depressive symptoms (divergent). The criterion validity was observed through the capacity of differentiating groups of pregnant women (first child/second child). The result of the Cronbach’s alpha values were excellent for both total scale (α=0.93) and to the significant other dimensions (α=0.93), friends (α=0.91) and family (α=0.92). The test-retest values indicated a temporal stability of the MSPSS scores. The conclusion is that the brazilian version of the MSPSS is a easy to handle and comprehension scale, in a way that the 12 items remained. The resultant values in the 5 equivalence stages, indicated that this scale has characteristics of validity and reliability considered satisfactory, as well is a suitable instrument to use in future psychometric researches.
