Introdução: O reconhecimento das necessidades dos doentes paliativos é um desafio crucial nos Cuidados Paliativos. Ferramentas como a Support Needs Approach for Patients (SNAP Tool) tem demonstrado um impacto positivo na comunicação entre o doente e o profissional de saúde, ajudando a identificar as necessidades do doente. O objetivo deste estudo é traduzir e validar a SNAP Tool para a população portuguesa. Metodologia: A fase inicial do estudo foi dedicada ao processo de tradução e adaptação da ferramenta para a língua portuguesa, e uma segunda fase onde foi validada a compreensão pelos doentes da versão pré-teste obtida na fase anterior através de entrevistas semiestruturadas. O estudo conta com uma amostra de nove participantes composta por doentes com necessidades paliativas no contexto do seu domicílio. Resultados: Os resultados indicam que a versão traduzida da SNAP Tool, assim como a versão original, permite aos doentes com necessidades paliativas expressar as suas necessidades à sua equipa de saúde. Conclusões: Este estudo teve como finalidade validar para a população portuguesa a SNAP Tool, de forma a garantir que esta ferramenta seja compreendida e relevante para os doentes com necessidades paliativas em Portugal. A SNAP Tool procura ser um elemento facilitador da comunicação entre o doente e o profissional de saúde, ajudando na identificação das necessidades dos doentes, permitindo um plano de cuidados mais individualizado. A versão portuguesa da SNAP Tool tem o potencial para melhorar a identificação de necessidades e, consequentemente, a qualidade dos cuidados prestados aos doentes com doenças crónicas limitadoras da vida.
