Abstract
Objective: to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) for Brazilian Portuguese.
Method: this was a methodological study on translation and cross-cultural content validity, conducted from January 2021 to July 2022, in four stages: (I) initial translations; (II) translation synthesis; (III) back-translations, and (IV) assessment by an expert committee. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated for each item and for the instrument as a whole, with validity set at a CVI of 80% or higher and a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.70 or higher.
Results: after analysis by a committee of five experts, semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalences were achieved, resulting in the Brazilian pre-final version of the TDF. The theoretical framework achieved an overall CVI of 96.6% and internal consistency, as measured by Cronbach’s alpha, of 0.916.
Conclusion and implications for practice: the TDF was translated and culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese, with CVI and internal consistency values considered satisfactory. The use of the TDF can help identify cognitive, affective, social, and environmental influences on behavior, aiding in the knowledge translation process.

Resumo
Objetivo: realizar a tradução e adaptação transcultural da estrutura teórica Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) para o português brasileiro.
Método: estudo metodológico de tradução e validação de conteúdo transcultural, realizado de janeiro de 2021 a julho de 2022, em quatro etapas: (I) traduções iniciais; (II) síntese das traduções; (III) retrotraduções; e (IV) avaliação por comitê de especialistas. Foi calculado o Índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC) para cada item e para o instrumento como um todo, sendo considerado validado um IVC igual ou superior a 80% e um coeficiente alfa de Cronbach maior ou igual a 0,70.
Resultados: após a análise do comitê composto por cinco especialistas, foram obtidas as equivalências semântica, idiomática, experimental e conceitual, resultando na versão pré-final brasileira da TDF. A estrutura teórica alcançou um IVC total de 96,6% e uma consistência interna, medida pelo alfa de Cronbach, de 0,916.
Conclusão e implicações para a prática: a TDF foi traduzida e adaptada culturalmente para o português brasileiro, com valores de IVC e consistência interna considerados satisfatórios. A utilização da TDF pode identificar influências cognitivas, afetivas, sociais e ambientais no comportamento, auxiliando no processo de translação do conhecimento.
