Background: Patient satisfaction reflects how an individual’s expectations, goals, and preferences are met by health care providers or services. 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. Purpose: To adapt and test the Patient Expectations and Satisfaction with Prenatal Care (PESPC) instrument for use in Brazil. Design: We conducted a systematic cultural and linguistic adaptation of the PESPC into Brazilian Portuguese and tested the validity of the adapted instrument. Results: Implementation of this rigorous methodological process resulted in a valid, reliable, culturally, and linguistically appropriate instrument. Implications for Practice: 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
