Validation to Spanish of the Caring Assessment Tool (CAT-V).

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.
