Spanish Translation, Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Person-Centred Practice Inventory-Care (PCPI-C): Enhancing Collaborative Care and Patient Involvement.

The study was done in a specialised hospital in Spain using convenience sampling, so it may not apply to other Spanish-speaking settings or patient groups. It was cross-sectional, so it could not test whether the questionnaire detects changes over time or after person-centred care interventions. Some wording may be interpreted differently across Spanish-speaking contexts, especially the phrase 'what is important to me'. The 'Being sympathetically present' section and Item 6 were less consistent than the others, so scores from those parts need caution. The inclusion criteria said adults aged 18 or over, but the reported age range was 16 to 93.

Funding came from the State Plan for I + D + I 2017-2020, with co-financing from ISCIII and the European Regional Development Fund (PI20/01644). The paper says the funder had no part in design, execution, analysis, interpretation or manuscript writing. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.

Do not read this as evidence that person-centred care improves outcomes or that using the questionnaire will improve care. The study tested a Spanish patient-reported measure, not an intervention, and some sections and items were weaker than others.
