Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire. METHODS: The questionnaire was applied to 328 patients in a public hospital, and the retest was performed with 86 patients, approximately 1 week after the test. Psychometric analyses were performed to evaluate the structure, reliability, and internal consistency of the questionnaire. RESULTS: The adapted questionnaire presented high sensitivity and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC > 8) indicated strong convergent validity and discriminant properties of the instrument, as well as high internal consistency (Cronbach's α > 0.8). Exploratory factor analysis divided the questionnaire into five dimensions: satisfaction with a multidisciplinary team (α = 0.953, kp = 0.61, ICC = 0.953), doctors (α = 0.993, kp = 0.817, ICC = 0.966), therapeutic (α = 0.946, kp = 0.869, ICC = 0.972), hospital structure (α = 0.97, kp = 0.87, ICC = 0.947), and hospital discharge. CONCLUSION: The results indicated that the Brazilian version maintained its psychometric properties when used in a heterogeneous population and with different diagnoses and stages of treatment for cancer. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This questionnaire can be used in the Brazilian hospital routine to gauge the satisfaction of patients with hospitalization.
