Objective: to adapt cross-culturally and validate the contents of the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire for Portuguese language. Methods: methodological study involving cross-cultural validation, conducted in five phases: initial translation, translation synthesis, back-translation to the source language, review by committee of judges, pre-test of final version with 30 people with traumatic spinal cord injury who performed auto-catheterization and content validation with 17 judges. Results: changes were made in the Portuguese version of the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire regarding the semantic, idiomatic, experimental and conceptual aspects. The pre-test revealed that the items of the translated and adapted version were easy to understand and interpret. The Content Validation Index was 0.92. Conclusion: the translated version of the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire was transculturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese language and validated with a satisfactory content validation index, being considered valid to verify the quality of life of people with neurological conditions that perform urinary auto-catheterization.
