The aim of this study was to carry out a psychometric analysis of the Spanish version of the mini-suffering state examination. A validation study was conducted. Seventy-two informal caregivers of deceased patients in palliative care were included in this study. A psychometric testing of content validity, internal consistency, and convergent validity with the Spanish version of the quality of dying and death questionnaire was performed. The original instrument was modified to be used by informal caregivers. The content validity was acceptable (0.96), and the internal consistency was moderate (α = 0.67). Convergent validity was demonstrated (r = -0.64). The Spanish modified version of the MSSE showed satisfactory measurement properties. The Spanish modified version of MSSE can be useful to facilitate screening, monitor progress, and guide treatment decisions in end-of-life cancer patients. 10.3390/ijerph18157821 1660-4601 International journal of environmental research and public health http://hdl.handle.net/10668/18316 34360115 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/18413 advanced cancer nursing palliative care psychometric properties suffering validation studies Psychometric Testing of the Spanish Modified Version of the Mini-Suffering State Examination.
