Objectives: Spirituality is related to the care and the quality of life of cancer patients. Thus, it is very important to assess their needs. The objective of this study was the translation and cultural adjustment of the Spiritual Needs Assessment for Patients (SNAP) questionnaire to the Brazilian Portuguese language.
Methodology: The translation and cultural adjustment of the SNAP questionnaire involved six stages: backtranslation, revision of backtranslation, translation to the original language and adjustments, pre-test on ten patients, and test and retest with 30 patients after three weeks. Adult patients, with a solid tumour and literate with a minimum of four years schooling were included. For analysis and consistency we used the calculation of the Cronbach alpha coefficient and the Pearson linear correlation.
Results: The final questionnaire had some language and content adjustments compared to the original version in English. The correlation analysis of each item with the total score of the questionnaire showed coefficients above 0.99. The calculation of the Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.9. The calculation of the Pearson linear correlation with the test and retest of the questionnaire was equal to 0.95.
Conclusion: The SNAP questionnaire translated into Brazilian Portuguese is adequately reliable and consistent. This instrument allows adequate access to spiritual needs and can help patient care.

Article Synopsis
- Food insecurity affects the dietary habits of older adults, leading to a higher consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) in the US, which is linked to health issues.
- The study analyzed data from 6,295 adults aged 52 to 101 to see how factors like race, age, and SNAP participation influenced UPF intake amid food insecurity.
- Findings revealed that food insecurity increased UPF consumption, with racial differences affecting this relationship, notably higher UPF percentages among Whites compared to an inverse trend for African Americans.
