Resumo: Background: Comfort is essential in nursing practice, so useful and valid assessment tools are required. Objectives: To analyze the psychometric properties of the Holistic Comfort Questionnaire – Family (HCQ-F) for the Portuguese population and assess the level of comfort among caregivers of people with advanced chronic disease. Methodology: A methodological study with a quantitative approach was conducted with 314 caregivers. The psychometric properties were analyzed using descriptive summary measures, item-total correlations, and Cronbach’s alpha. Factor analysis was performed using varimax orthogonal rotation and extraction factors with eigenvalues > 1. Results: The internal consistency and factor analysis of the HCQ-F items resulted in the Holistic Comfort Questionnaire – Caregivers – Portugal (HCQ-C-PT) with 18 items that were distributed by 3 factors: relief, ease, and transcendence (α=.795). Conclusion: Based on validity and reliability results, the HCQ--C-PT proved to be suitable for assessing comfort in caregivers of people with advanced chronic disease.

Objetivos: Determinar as características psicométricas do Holistic Comfort Questionnaire – Family (HCQ-F) para a população Portuguesa e, avaliar o nível de conforto dos cuidadores de pessoas com doença crónica e avançada. Metodologia: Estudo metodológico com uma análise do tipo quantitativo, realizado a 314 cuidadores. Para o estudo das propriedades psicométricas, calculámos medidas descritivas de resumo, correlações de cada item com o total e, o alfa de Cronbach. Para a análise fatorial, utilizámos a rotação ortogonal do tipo varimax e a extração de fatores com valores próprios > 1. Resultados: Da determinação da consistência interna e análise fatorial dos itens do HCQ-F resultou o Holistic Comfort Questionnaire – Cuidadores – Portugal (HCQ-C-PT) com 18 itens que se distribuíram por 3 fatores: alívio, tranquilidade e transcendência (α=0,795). Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que o HCQ-C-PT apresenta validade e consistência interna adequados para avaliar o conforto em cuidadores de pessoas com doença crónica avançada.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaMarques, Rita Margarida DouradoDixe, Maria dos AnjosQuerido, Ana IsabelSousa, Patricia Pontifice2023-01-04T13:49:01Z20162016-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/39728eng0874-028310.12707/RIV1606085051938702info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-09-12T01:39:16Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/39728Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:32:31.302789Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
