Resumen

Introducción: El confort es un indicador de buena práctica, por lo que su promoción y evaluación es fundamental, sea cual sea el estado de salud/enfermedad de la persona.

Objetivo: Construir y validar el contenido de la Escala Global de Confort.

Métodos: Estudio metodológico. La validación del contenido se realizó mediante la técnica e-Delphi con expertos que comentaron la claridad, la pertinencia y la relevancia. Se comprobó la validez de contenido de los ítems mediante el IVC-I y de la escala mediante el IVC-S. El pre-test se realizó hablando con 20 miembros de la población objetivo (adultos o ancianos, sanos o enfermos) y la versión final del instrumento se aplicó a 43 participantes.

Resultados: 12 expertos evaluaron el contenido de los ítems del instrumento mediante una escala de respuesta tipo Likert, dando como resultado una escala final compuesta por 55 ítems con un criterio de aceptabilidad superior a 0,80. Se obtuvo un CVI-S de 0,97 para la claridad, 0,90 para la pertinencia y 0,93 para la relevancia, lo que confirma la validez del contenido. En la reflexión oral, los participantes no tuvieron dificultades ni sugerencias. Los 43 participantes se sintieron cómodos con todos los ítems. Encontramos un alfa de Cronbach de 0,981 y valores de correlación de Pearson del ítem con la escala total sin el ítem entre 0,247 y 0,879.

Conclusión: el instrumento mostró un buen índice de validez de contenido, seguido en una fase posterior por la validación psicométrica.
