Objective: to translate and culturally adapt the Risk assessment and
management of exposure of health care workers in the context of covid-19
questionnaire to the Brazilian context and to develop and evaluate a
sociodemographic and occupational characterization questionnaire to compose
the adapted questionnaire. Method: five stages were conducted to adapt
the Risk assessment and management of exposure of health care workers
in the context of covid-19 questionnaire, namely: translation, synthesis
of the translations, evaluation by a committee of judges, back translation
and pre-test. As for the complementary questionnaire, it was elaborated
and evaluated by a committee of judges and a pre-test was carried out.
Results: the questionnaires were validated and the pre-test stage was
conducted with health workers and students. Conclusion: the final version
adapted to the Brazilian context was called Questionário de avaliação de
risco e gestão da exposição de trabalhadores e estudantes de saúde no
contexto da covid-19 and is available for use, together with the final version
of the Sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire: Risk assessment
and management of exposure of health care workers and students in the
context of covid-19. These questionnaires may assist in mitigating the risks
of infection, illness and death of health workers and students due to covid-19.
