The purpose of this study was to translate and culturally adapt to the brazilian population a specific questionnaire for general evaluation of STUI, the ICIQ-FLUTS. An study of accuracy was carried out, where 28 volunteers, between 18 and 65 years old, participated. They were recruited at the municipal health unit of the Mirassol neighborhood, in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. The translation phase was performed by two bilingual individuals, brazilian, fluent in english (T1 and T2). It was originated to version one of the portuguese questionnaire (V1) that was retro translated into English and returned to the ICIQ group to be reviewed and performed an equivalence pre-test to develop the final version of the questionnaire (V2). V2 was submitted to the adaptation phase. The results obtained were that the mean age of the women evaluated was 50.4 years ± 12.9. 53.5% of the women were in the postmenopausal period, 64.2% had urinary incontinence-UI. Urinary stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (50%) to medium effort (42.8%) was the most frequent. The adapted version of ICIQ-FLUTS has been shown to be clear, easy to understand and apply by the population studied. It is concluded that the ICIQ-FLUTS is adapted to the Portuguese language and brazilian culture, and can be used in any brazilian about STUI study, after being validated in future studies.
