The Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale (CL-FODS) consists of 4 subscales: Death of Self, Dying of Self, Death of Others, and Dying of Others. The aim of this study was to develop a Spanish version of the CL-FODS and to explore its psychometric properties. The revised version of the scale was translated into Spanish from English. Then, the back translation technique was carried out. A sample of 281 Spanish nursing students and professionals responded to the Spanish CL-FODS, along with 2 instruments assessing death anxiety and general anxiety. Good internal consistency and satisfactory test-retest reliability of the 4 subscales of the Spanish CL-FODS were achieved. Its correlations with death anxiety were higher than that with general anxiety, supporting its discriminant validity. The principal component analysis forced to 4 components provided a distribution of loadings that is more coherent with the theoretical formulation of the 4 components than those obtained in previous studies. These results justify the use of the CL-FODS in Spanish-speaking health care professionals for the purpose of assessing attitudes toward death and dying in self and others.
科利特-莱斯特死亡恐惧量表（CL-FODS）由4个分量表组成：自我死亡、自我濒死、他人死亡和他人濒死。本研究的目的是开发CL-FODS的西班牙语版本，并探讨其心理测量特性。该量表的修订版从英语翻译成西班牙语。然后，采用了回译技术。281名西班牙护理专业学生和专业人员对西班牙语CL-FODS以及另外2个评估死亡焦虑和一般焦虑的工具进行了作答。西班牙语CL-FODS的4个分量表具有良好的内部一致性和令人满意的重测信度。它与死亡焦虑的相关性高于与一般焦虑的相关性，支持了其区分效度。强制提取4个成分的主成分分析所提供的载荷分布，比以往研究中得到的结果更符合这4个成分的理论构想。这些结果证明，在讲西班牙语的医护人员中使用CL-FODS来评估对自我和他人死亡及濒死的态度是合理的。
