Ten specialists adjusted and approved the final version for semantic, idiomatic, and cultural accuracy across nine items. <b>Results:</b> The content validity index was satisfactory (CVI ≥ 0.80). The final version was administered to 36 nursing and medical staff at a public hospital in São Paulo. No items were excluded from the instrument. Satisfactory content and face validity were achieved, and the criteria recommended by the literature were met. <b>Conclusions:</b> The Portuguese version of ENPROS is appropriate and culturally adapted for use in Brazil.
