Methods:

Cross-sectional prospective instrument validation design. Women who were treated in health establishments of the first level of care participated. The research was carried out in three phases, initial review (literature review, translation), trial (content validity, pilot test), and psychometric properties (internal consistency analysis, exploratory factor analysis). For data analysis, the SPSS version 20 program was used.

Results:

In the first phase, the most relevant symptoms were identified, menstrual irregularities, hot flashes, vaginal problems, urinary incontinence, quality of sleep, and mood. The translation was carried out with the participation of four professionals. The second phase, of content validity, was through expert judgment, obtaining a concordance of 0.77 and initial reliability of 0.79. In the third phase, the internal consistency was 0.69 and 0.70 for exploratory factor analysis. The instrument contains six questions, obtaining ≥ 4 affirmative answers justify specialized management.

Conclusion:

The instrument is brief, has adequate content validity and internal consistency, useful for managing climacteric at the first level of care.
