Translation into Brazilian Portuguese and transcultural adaptation and validation of the treatment specific questionnaire Home Parenteral Nutrition- Quality of Life (HPN-QOL ©)

Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) is the main treatment for patients with chronic intestinal failure. It is commonly prescribed for nutritional recovery, survival increase and, whenever possible, improvement of quality of life. As there are no validated instruments in Brazilian Portuguese to be used in these patients, the objective of this study was to carry out the transcultural adaptation and validation of Home Parenteral Nutrition - Quality of life (HPN-QOL ©) into Brazilian Portuguese.
