ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of Quality of Care Through the Patient’s Eyes - HIV (QUOTE-HIV). Method: this methodological study consisted of verifying and assessing convergent and structural validity and estimating the reliability of the instrument’s translated and culturally adapted version. It was conducted in an HIV/AIDS referral center between August and November 2016 and included 141 participants. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to assess structural construct validity, while Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability were performed to assess the internal consistency of each domain and estimate the instrument’s reliability. Convergent construct validity was verified using Spearman’s coefficient correlation. Results: QUOTE-HIV is structured on two components, Importance and Performance; hence, two models were generated at the end of the factor analysis, one for each component. Both models were statistically validated and presented satisfactory reliability parameters. Regarding convergent validity, positive and significant correlations were found between the scores obtained by the QUOTE-HIV domains and the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scales (NSNS), except for the performance domain in the importance component. Conclusion: QUOTE-HIV Brazilian version presented evidence of reliability, adequate internal consistency, and validity according to the convergent and structural construct validity methods adopted.
