ABSTRACT Objectives: to build, validate and verify the reliability of the Scale of knowledge about sexuality of people with spinal cord injury for nursing students. Methods: a methodological study, following the steps: 1) Construction based on literature review; 2) Validation of the content with calculation of the Content Validity Index and the Modified Kappa Coefficient; 3) Pre-test with Nursing students; and 4) Measurement of reliability by internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha). Results: the first version of the instrument presented 13 items. After validation, the items received values above 0.80 and 0.76 for the Content Validity Index and Modified Kappa Coefficient, and it was suggested to separate three items to contemplate gender-specific aspects. After pre-testing, it was recommended that the writing of two items be revised. The final scale, with 16 items, showed Cronbach’s alpha equal to 0.93. Conclusions: the constructed scale presented valid content and proved to be reliable for application with nursing students.
