چکیده
OBJECTIVE to translate and validate to Spanish the Caring Assessment Scale tool, CAT-V, by Joanne Duffy, within the framework of Jean Watson; as a secondary objective, it is proposed to evaluate its psychometric properties. There are tools designed to measure the patient's perception of provided cares, including CAT-V, the subject of our interest, in a way that it can be used in Spanish-speaking patients. METHODS to meet the objectives, it was performed sequential translation and retro-translation of the scale to be validated, through a standardized procedure. The final version of that scale was validated in a sample of 349 patients from four public and two private hospitals in Madrid, Spain. RESULTS The instrument was translated and validated with high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha .953). The subsequent factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure, not coincident with the data from the US population. CONCLUSION it is considered that the translation of CAT-V is a suitable instrument to be used in the evaluation of patient care in Ibero-american health centers whose language is Spanish.
