Most research on patient expectations and satisfaction has been conducted in developed countries; there was no Portuguese language instrument to measure pregnant women's expectations and satisfaction with prenatal care. To adapt and test the Patient Expectations and Satisfaction with Prenatal Care (PESPC) instrument for use in Brazil. We conducted a systematic cultural and linguistic adaptation of the PESPC into Brazilian Portuguese and tested the validity of the adapted instrument. Implementation of this rigorous methodological process resulted in a valid, reliable, culturally, and linguistically appropriate instrument. We recommend further assessment of the Brazilian Portuguese PESPC with more diverse samples of Portuguese-speaking pregnant women in Brazil and other countries. Application of this structured approach to cultural and linguistic instrument adaptation is one way to further transcultural nursing research.

It contains 41 items divided into two dimensions: expectations and satisfaction. The adapted version was submitted to analysis for stability, convergent construct validity, and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) for distinct groups and dimensions. Method: 119 pregnant women receiving prenatal care were interviewed and 26 of these women answered the instrument twice (retest). Internal consistency was appropriate (Cronbach's alpha ≥ 0.70); test-retest presented strong correlation (r=0.82; p<0.001) for the domain expectations and moderate correlation (r=0.66; p<0.001) for the satisfaction domain. The analysis confirmed that the instrument's adapted version is valid in the studied group. Results: there is strong evidence for the validity and reliability of the instrument's adaptation. Conclusion: the instrument needs to be tested in groups of pregnant women with different social characteristics.
