It was created in Dutch and English and has validated versions in French, German and Polish. Objectives: To obtain a cross-cultural translation of the GFQ into Spanish and Catalan and to assess the structural properties of the translated versions. Methods: A six-step procedure including forward and backward translations, consensus, and cultural and linguistic validation was performed for both languages. Internal consistency, factor structure, and content validity were assessed. Results: Internal consistency was high for both questionnaires (Cronbach's alpha for GFQ-Spa = 0.94 and GFQ-Cat = 0.95). The principal component analysis identified one factor with the sense of alarm and the sense of reassurance as two opposites, explaining 76% of the total variance for the GFQ-Spa, and 77% for the GFQ-Cat. Conclusion: Spanish and Catalan versions of the GFQ were obtained. Both have been cross-culturally adapted and showed good structural properties.enghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Gut feelingsIntuitionQuestionnaireGeneral practiceClinical decision makingGeneral PractitionersDiagnosisHumansLanguageEmotionsClinical Decision-MakingReproducibility of Resultsresearch articleAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International3039414725139-4310.1080/13814788.2018.15143851751-1402European Journal of General Practiceopen accessComparación TransculturalLenguajeHumanosReproducibilidad de los ResultadosEmocionesEncuestas y CuestionariosToma de Decisiones ClínicasDiagnósticoMédicos Generales2-s2.0-85056171952459464800007L624800345
