Abstract

Introduction: One of the bases of palliative care is the regular and comprehensive assessment of symptoms in patients and families. In this regard, it is important to recognize the scales used in palliative care in Spanish and their psychometric properties. Objective: Identify the scales in Spanish for the assessment of palliative care patients and their families, evaluate their psychometric properties, and the methodological quality of their properties based on the Cosmin standards. Method: Psychometric systematic review. A literature search of the assessment scales in palliative care in Spanish and its psychometric properties was carried out according to the Prisma proposal. The standards proposed by Cosmin for the evaluation of psychometric properties were used. Results: 21 rating scales were evaluated. The EORTC-QLQ quality of life scale was the one that reported the highest number of properties. Internal consistency, construct validity, content and reliability were the most reported tests. No study reported evidence of cross-cultural validity. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate a wide variety of instruments available in Spanish to assess the patient and the family caregiver in palliative care. However, a large number of psychometric properties of the instruments are still incomplete. The results show the need to continue investigating the psychometric properties of these scales to guarantee the reliability of these instruments, as well as their use in practice and research.
