Objective: To present preliminary evidence of validity of the Creighton Interprofessional Collaborative Evaluation (C-ICE) instrument translated and adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese context. Method: Methodological study conducted in six steps: translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert review, pre-testing, and submission to the original authors. This study was based in southern Brazil, involving professionals from various health areas from different regions of the country. Data collection took place between 2023 and 2024, through in-person meetings and online questionnaires made available via Google Forms®. To assess reliability, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated. Results: The translated and adapted version of the Creighton Interprofessional Collaborative Evaluation was modified according to the experts’ suggestions. Validity and reliability evidence were measured using the Content Validity Index and Cronbach’s Alpha, respectively. The content validity index was 0.95, and reliability by Cronbach’s alpha was 0.913, considered an excellent result. Conclusion: The translation and adaptation of the Creighton Interprofessional Collaborative Evaluation - Brazil version, provide an instrument to evaluate interprofessional performance in the training process of health professionals in the Brazilian context.
