Abstract
Objective

To adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Family Satisfaction in the Intensive Care Unit - 24 (FS ICU-24) questionnaire among relatives of critically ill patients in a teaching hospital in Chile.

Design

Prospective observational study aimed to validate a measuring instrument.

Setting

Medical-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) of a teaching hospital in Chile.

Patients or participants

Two hundred and forty relatives of critically ill patients with at least48 h in the ICU, older than 18 years, and with at least one visit to the patient.

Interventions

None.

Main variables of interest

Content validity, construct validity, and reliability analysis of the Spanish version of the FS ICU-24 were evaluated.

Results

The Spanish version of the FS ICU-24 was adapted, improving its understanding and clarity. The factor analysis showed an optimal solution of 3 factors for the Chilean-Spanish version of the FS ICU-24, which explain 51% of the total variance. Reliability was adequate for the global scale (α = 0.93) and the dimensions of satisfaction with patient and family care (α = 0.82), satisfaction with communication (α = 0.91) and satisfaction with decision-making (α = 0.71).

Conclusions

The Chilean-Spanish version of the FS ICU-24 proved to be valid and reliable for the evaluation of family satisfaction in the ICU. Having a valid instrument will allow health institutions to accurately identify areas for improvement in the care of the family members and the critically ill patient.
