    "abstract": "To carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the Women's Experience of Vaginal Examination in Labour scale in the Brazilian cultural context and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the proposed version.\nThe stages of cross-cultural adaptation were carried out. The pre-test version was applied to 10 primiparous women in the immediate postpartum period who gave birth to full-term newborns via vaginal delivery with cephalic presentation. To assess reliability and validity, the final proposed version was administered to 200 women with the same characteristics in a cross-sectional study. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis with principal component extraction and Item Response Theory.\nThe Brazilian version of the scale was obtained following rigorous adherence to all stages. In the reliability analysis, the Brazilian version scale presented a Cronbach's \u03b1 of 0.909. Factor analysis with principal component extraction showed closely distributed factors, explaining 66.5 % of the variance. The Item Response Theory analysis indicated that the probability of selecting a particular response varies depending on the intensity of the latent trait.\nA valid and reliable Brazilian version of the Women's Experience of Vaginal Examination in Labour scale was obtained.",
