Abstract
MANRIQUE-ABRIL, Fred G. et al. Quality of Nursing Care Questionnaire (CUCACE): Validity and reliability in Colombia. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.4, pp.1-. Epub May 04, 2022. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v23n4.94715.
Objetive
To determine the validity and reliability of the CUCACE (Quality of Nursing Care Questionnaire) in Colombia. Every day there is a growing interest in measuring the quality of care received from nursing personnel as a tangible element of care; however, not having reliable and valid instruments is an obstacle, especially in Colombia.
Method
A psychometric and evaluative instrumental study was conducted. Data of interest from CUCACE filled out in Spanish were extracted together with demographic information of the participants.
Results
Confirmed the validity of the content and construct validity of the scales of care, attention to nursing care and the perception of care in a Colombian hospital. Cronbach's alpha was higher than 0.7, and its reliability is accepted in the context.
Conclusion
The CUCACE is adequate to measure the satisfaction and experience of patients with nursing care in the Colombian context. The questionnaire with its two scales is useful, clear, precise, valid and reliable to evaluate the quality of nursing care.
