Barretos Cancer Hospital, Research Group on Palliative Care and Health-Related Quality of Life, Barretos, Brazil.
Article Synopsis

- The study used Beaton's methodology for translating and adapting the PDT Schedule of Questions for the Brazilian context, involving expert evaluations and pre-testing with in-person interviews instead of remote methods.
- The validation process yielded a high Content Validity Index and highlighted the importance of cultural modifications, paving the way for future research and implementation of DT in palliative care settings that supports bereaved families in their grieving processes.
