Results and conclusions: In the results was displayed that women had a total score higher than men (p < 0. 05). Although differences were observed in the ratings given to each item among observers (Cohen's kappa < 0.20), the psychometric properties of the scale were appropriate (Cronbach's alpha > 0.7; ICC > 0. 7).
