    El acoso escolar impacta negativamente en el bienestar emocional, mental y académico del alumnado. La percepción que tienen los estudiantes sobre la respuesta que ofrece el profesorado ante situaciones de acoso resulta clave para valorar y mejorar la convivencia escolar. El objetivo de esta investigación es traducir y adaptar transculturalmente al español el Teachers’ Response to Bullying Questionnaire (TRBQ), diseñado específicamente para evaluar esta percepción del alumnado. Para ello, se siguió un diseño que incluyó un proceso de traducción y retrotraducción realizado por traductores profesionales. Además, se evaluó la comprensibilidad en una muestra piloto de 40 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Este proceso dio como resultado la versión española del TRBQ con alta equivalencia conceptual respecto al instrumento original, que permitirá en contextos hispanohablantes valorar, de forma fiable, estas percepciones. Asimismo, la disponibilidad de esta versión adaptada sienta las bases para futuras validaciones psicométricas y para el desarrollo de intervenciones educativas más efectivas orientadas a la prevención del bullying en entornos hispanohablantes.

    Bullying has a negative impact on students’ emotional, mental, and academic well-being. Students’ perceptions of teachers’ responses to bullying situations are key to assessing and improving school climate. The objective of this research is to perform the translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Spanish of the Teachers’ Responses to Bullying Questionnaire (TRBQ), designed specifically to assess this student perception. To this end, a translation and back-translation process was carried out by professional translators. In addition, comprehensibility was evaluated in a pilot sample of 40 high school students. This process resulted in a Spanish version of the TRBQ that is conceptually equivalent to the original instrument. This will allow Spanish-speaking teachers and researchers to reliably assess these perceptions. Furthermore, the availability of this adapted version lays the groundwork for future psychometric validations and for the development of more effective educational interventions aimed at preventing and managing bullying in Spanish-speaking environments.
