Palliative care knowledge is essential in primary healthcare due to the increasing number of patients who require attention in the final stage of their life. Health professionals (physicians and nurses) need to acquire specific knowledge and abilities to provide high-quality palliative care. The development of education programmes in palliative care is necessary. The Palliative Care Knowledge Test (PCKT) is a questionnaire that evaluates the basic knowledge about palliative care, but it has not been adapted into Spanish, and its effectiveness and utility for Spanish culture have not been analysed.
The aim of this study was to report the translation into Spanish and a psychometric analysis of the PCKT.
The questionnaire survey was validated with a group of 561 physicians and nurses. The PCKT Spanish Version (PCKT-SV) was obtained from a process, including translation, back translation and revision by experts and a pilot study. The content validity and reliability of the questionnaire were analysed.
The results showed internal consistency and reliability indexes similar to those obtained by the original version of PCKT.
The PCKT-SV is a useful instrument for measuring Spanish-speaking physician and nurse knowledge of palliative care, and it is suitable to evaluate the effectiveness of training activities in palliative care.
由于需要在生命终末期给予关注的患者数量不断增加，在初级医疗保健中，掌握姑息治疗知识至关重要。卫生专业人员（医生和护士）需要获得特定的知识和能力，以提供高质量的姑息治疗。姑息治疗教育计划的发展是必要的。姑息治疗知识测试（PCKT）是一种评估姑息治疗基础知识的问卷，但它尚未被翻译成西班牙语，也尚未分析其对西班牙语文化的有效性和实用性。
本研究旨在报告 PCKT 的西班牙语翻译和心理测量学分析。
使用 561 名医生和护士的小组对问卷调查进行了验证。从翻译、回译和专家修订以及试点研究的过程中获得了 PCKT 西班牙语版（PCKT-SV）。分析了问卷的内容效度和信度。
结果表明，PCKT-SV 的内部一致性和可靠性指标与 PCKT 的原始版本相似。
PCKT-SV 是一种用于衡量西班牙语医生和护士姑息治疗知识的有用工具，适合评估姑息治疗培训活动的效果。
