Abstract：
The condom use can be influenced by psychological and sociocultural aspects, which can be modulated by individual\'s attitudes. The aim was to propose a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Short-Form Condom Attitude Scale (Short-Form CAS), describing all procedures of translation, transcultural adaptation, and psychometric properties evaluation when applied to undergraduate students. A cross sectional study was conducted among students enrolled at University of São Paulo (USP), Campus Ribeirão Preto (n = 491; 61.2% female; average age: 22 years; standard deviation: four years). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed. A one-factor model with seven items exhibited good factorial validity and reliability, suggesting to be a better factorial solution of the Short-Form CAS in the sample. Few studies have been carried out on the behavioral factors associated with condom use in key populations, which can be exacerbated by a lack of appropriate scales. Therefore, the main contribution of the present study was to propose a simplified and transculturally adapted version of the Short-form CAS with some psychometric properties verified. Since the use of condoms is a component of the study of sexual risk behavior, this scale might be an option to be applied in various Brazilian population segments for this purpose.
摘要：
安全套的使用会受到心理和社会文化方面的影响，这可以由个人的态度来调节。目的是提出巴西葡萄牙语版本的短格式避孕套态度量表（短格式CAS），描述所有的翻译过程，跨文化适应，和应用于本科生的心理测量学属性评估。在圣保罗大学（USP）注册的学生中进行了一项横断面研究，RibeirãoPreto校园（n=491；61.2％的女性；平均年龄：22岁；标准偏差：四年）。进行验证性因素分析。具有七个项目的单因素模型表现出良好的因子效度和信度，建议是样本中简式CAS的更好的阶乘解。很少有研究在关键人群中与避孕套使用相关的行为因素。缺乏适当的尺度会加剧这种情况。因此,本研究的主要贡献是提出了简化和跨文化适应的简式CAS版本，并验证了一些心理测量特性。由于使用避孕套是研究性危险行为的一个组成部分，为此，该量表可能是适用于巴西各个人口部分的选择。
