(211) TRANSLATION, SEMANTIC EQUIVALENCE, AND CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF THE COMPULSIVE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR DISORDER DIAGNOSTIC INVENTORY (CSBD-DI)
The Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Diagnostic Inventory (CSBD-DI) was developed in response to a novel diagnosis that is both contentious and significant in that it is the first to categorize a disorder associated with excessive, impulsive, compulsive, and/or out-of-control sexual behavior. The scale has versions in four languages and demonstrates good psychometric qualities. The study focused on CSBD-DI translation, semantic equivalence, and cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese. Initial step of the Brazilian psychometric study for future studies. The scale contains nine items and was developed to measure compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD). The level of measurement of the items ranges from “being true for at least 6 months during the last 12 months” to “never being true of me”. This process was composed of eight professionals qualified for such a method and a convenience sample of 35 participants for the evaluation of intelligibility. The stages were translation, back-translation, assessment of semantic-equivalence, final review by experts, and pre-test version. Assessing semantic-equivalency showed significant agreement among judges, varying from moderate to strong. This assessment classified the translated items as unaltered or somewhat changed. The expert review met challenges when reaching agreement on descriptions related to sexual practices or behaviors. As indicated in the pre-test version application, incorporating colloquial language descriptions proved critical to the final version’s composition. The findings indicated a good level of linguistic comprehension. While it was difficult to find proper vocabulary for the general comprehension of excessive, impulsive, compulsive, and/or out-of-control sexual behavior. This version kept the inventory’s name in English but added “Brazilian Adaptation” in Portuguese at the end. No.
