Abstract
Objective: To validate a reliable and valid measure to evaluate nursing clinical expertise, which could be used to research the contribution of nursing knowledge to the quality of care.
Methods: After permission to translate and use of the Clinical Nursing Expertise Survey, we applied the instrument resulting from the conceptual validation process and the translation/retroversion process.
Results: Response rate ranged between 98.4% and 100% per item. The construct validation process with the factor analysis extracted two factors which explain 74.19% of the variance. The reliability measured by Cronbach's alpha has a value of α = 0.987, on the criteria validation we obtained a significant relationship between CNES and nurse education.
Conclusion: We thus obtained a valid and reliable Portuguese version of CNES which can be used in clinical settings in Portugal.

Objetivo: Validar uma medida confiável e válida para avaliar a experiência clínica de enfermagem, o que poderia ser usado para pesquisar a contribuição do conhecimento de enfermagem para a qualidade dos cuidados.
Métodos: Após seleção e autorização para tradução e utilização da Clinical Nursing Expertise Survey, aplicamos, em junho de 2012, a uma amostra de enfermeiros, o instrumento que resultou do processo de validação conceitual e do procedimento de tradução/retroversão.
Resultados: Taxa de resposta por item oscilou entre 98,4% e 100%. O processo de validação do constructo, pela análise fatorial, extraiu dois fatores que explicam 74,19% da variância, a fiabilidade medida pelo Cronbach alfa apresenta um valor de α = 0,987, na validação de critério, obtivemos uma relação significativa entre a CNES e a formação dos enfermeiros.
