[Transcultural validation of the Maastricht Clinical Teaching Questionnaire].

The evaluation of the clinical teacher's performance provides feedback to motivate them to improve their teaching skills. To perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Maastricht Clinical Teaching Questionnaire, the International Guide for the Adaptation of the Questionnaires was followed. The validity of content, response process, construct and reliability were investigated. After cross-cultural adaption, residents of two University hospitals evaluated 187 clinical teachers. Content and answering process were validated. In the confirmatory factor analysis, all indexes and criteria for a good fit suited the 5 factors and 14 items model. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.80. The G coefficient was > 0.70, with low variance of the absolute error. Every clinical teacher should receive at least 6 evaluations to achieve a reliable evaluation of every domain and of their global performance. The Spanish version of the questionnaire is a valid, reliable instrument for medical residents to evaluate teachers.
