Validation of the Spanish translation Sheffield Profile for Assessment and Referral for Care (SPARC-Sp) at the Hospital Universitario San Jose of Popayan, ColombiaAbstract
Objectives. We determined the validity and reliability of the Spanish translation Sheffield
Profile for Assessment and Referral for Care (SPARC-Sp) questionnaire to identify the palliative
care (PC) needs of patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Colombia.
Methods. We developed a cross-sectional observational study of scale assessment in adults
with the aim of determining the validity and reliability of the SPARC-Sp questionnaire to identify the PC needs of patients with NCDs receiving outpatient or inpatient care at the Hospital
Universitario San Jose of Popayan – ESE, Colombia, from 2021 to 2022.
Results. We applied a questionnaire consisting of demographic, clinical data, and SPARC-Sp
to 507 participants. The constructed model explained 75% of the variance with an adequate
fit according to the root mean square residual (0.03), the comparative fit index (0.98), and
acceptable reliability (McDonald’s total omega 0.4–0.9). Opportunities for improvement are the
reformulation and inclusion of particular words to improve the representativeness and clarity
of the domains of communication and information, religious, and spiritual issues.
Significance of results. This research represents the first validation of SPARC in Spanish.
SPARC-Sp is an instrument that allows initiating a conversation of the patient’s main needs
through a systematic assessment of the patients’ main needs. Its psychometric validation
demonstrated good fit and acceptable reliability.
