SUMMARY:

Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines cancer as a generic terminology for a vast group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. This pathology is the second leading cause of death in the world, with one in six deaths related to the disease. Therefore, the care given to these patients requires early identification, aiming, above all, at the relief of suffering and, in some cases, the remission of the disease. In view of the findings in the literature, several strategies have been used to identify the suffering of cancer patients, in this sense the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) instrument was produced. This inventory aims to provide a measure of dignity-related suffering and serves as a screening tool to assess a wide range of reported issues that influence a sense of dignity. Objective: To carry out a cross-cultural adaptation of the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) instrument from English to Brazilian Portuguese. Method: This is a quantitative, transversal and analytical methodological design research. Conceptual and item, semantic, operational and measurement equivalence were performed between the original and the adapted instrument. In addition, the psychometric properties of the instrument in the new contextual reality were verified. Results: The research was carried out with 125 adult patients, mostly women (n=98; 78.4%), over 45 years old (54.4%), in two different contexts (Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes (29.6 %) and League Against Cancer (70.4%)). Sociodemographic, clinical, dignity (Patient Dignity Inventory – PDI) and quality of life (WHOQOL-Bref) information were collected. Descriptive and comparative analyzes were performed for all variables, with a significance level of 5%. To verify the validity aspects of the instrument, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed, presenting a tetrachoric correlation matrix, in relation to the reliability of the inventory, it was analyzed using Cronbach's Alpha, showing a result of 0.93. Regarding the factor distribution, the PDI behaved satisfactorily, presenting the same 5 dimensions, but with items occupying different dimensions. Conclusion: The instrument presented a very satisfactory value of internal consistency, fulfilling the objective that was proposed. In this way, it is configured as a screening instrument for aspects that refer to the dignity of cancer patients in an outpatient and hospital environment in the reality of Brazil.
