Objetivo: descrever o processo de tradução e de adaptação para a cultural brasileira da Ways of Religious Coping Scale por meio de diversas etapas metodológicas. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico visando à adaptação transcultural da Ways of Religious Coping Scale, original dos Estados Unidos, que avalia estratégias de enfrentamento religioso de um indivíduo. Para adaptá-la à cultura brasileira, obteve-se a autorização do autor da escala. Resultados: a tradução da Ways of Religious Coping Scale foi realizada por três professores de inglês independentes entre si. A primeira versão foi obtida a partir destas traduções e submetida a 10 juízes para a “Avaliação das Equivalências Semântica e Idiomática” e “Avaliação das Equivalências Cultural e Conceitual”, sendo cinco juízes para cada. Foram realizadas as alterações sugeridas e constituiu-se a Escala de Maneiras de Coping Religioso. Por fim, desenvolveu-se o Grupo Focal, no qual a Escala de Maneiras de Coping Religioso foi analisada por representantes de diferentes religiões e adotaram-se assim as mudanças sugeridas pelos participantes. Conclusão: A enfermagem tem se destacado como uma profissão importante que fica perto de pacientes e, portanto, a compreensão de termos e instrumentos que abordem a espiritualidade e a religiosidade é fundamental para oferecer cuidados de enfermagem, que vão desde a promoção da saúde para a reabilitação. Palavras-chave: Comparação transcultural; Diferencial semântico; Religião. ABSTRACTObjective: To describe the process of translation and adaptation to Brazilian cultural Ways of Coping Scale of Religious through several methodological steps.

Abstract. TV news are essentially cultural phenomena. Previous research suggests that the often-overlooked formal and implicit characteristics of newscasts may be systematically related to culture-specific characteristics. Investigating these characteristics by means of a frame-by-frame content analysis is identified as a particularly promising methodological approach. To examine the relationship between culture and selected formal characteristics of newscasts, we present an explorative study that compares material from the USA, the Arab world, and Germany. Results indicate that there are many significant differences, some of which are in line with expectations derived from cultural specifics. Specifically, we argue that the number of persons presented as well as the context in which they are presented can be interpreted as indicators of Individualism/Collectivism. The conclusions underline the validity of the chosen methodological approach, but also demonstrate the need for more comprehensive and theory-driven category schemes.
