RODRIGUEZ, Angélica Melita; CONCHA, Patricia Jara; PEREIRA, Daniel Ignacio e MACHUCA, Luis Luengo. Transcultural adaptation and validation of a humanized-care questionnaire in nursing for a Chilean population sample. Rev Cuid [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.2, pp.2245-2256.

Introduction
Humanization of care is a relevant theme to address due to its impact on the health of individuals; this requires having reliable and valid instruments that permit its evaluation.
Objective
Adapt and validate the Colombian version of the questionnaire on Perception of Humanized-Care Behaviors in Nursing (PHCBN) for use in a Chilean population.
Materials and Methods
Validation study consisting in the expert evaluation and transcultural adaptation of the PHCBN through an intra-lingual approach and internal consistency analysis and construct validity of the Chilean version of the instrument.
Results
Terms and verb tenses were modified with 100% comprehension by those surveyed; this permitted generating an instrument suited to the language and comprehension of the Spanish used in Chile. The study obtained a high Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.92, along with a construct validity through convergence with a high positive r correlation of 0.73 with the Humanized-Care Perception Scale.
Discussion
Herein, we visualize the importance of the linguistic sociocultural adaptation of instruments in different cultures and, thus, avoid bias derived from language. The reliability and construct validity of the instrument is similar to that found in Colombia, which demonstrates adequate properties and its good function within a distinct cultural context.
Conclusions
This instrument constitutes a contribution to the humanization of nursing care, given that it is a valid and appropriate scale for use in the Chilean population context.
