The purpose was to translate into Spanish and to assess the psychometrics of the indicators of the nursing outcome “Pain: disruptive effects.”MethodsA three-stage study: (a) translation and cultural adaptation, (b) content validation, (c) clinical validation in 10 healthcare centers.ResultsThe Spanish version of the outcome “Pain: disruptive effects” has high content validity (CVI = .90) with 17 indicators organized into three factors. The Inter-observer agreement was good (kappa = .66) and the internal consistency high (alpha = .90).ConclusionsThe 17 indicators of the outcome “Pain: disruptive effects” has evidence of reliability and validity for assessing the harmful effects of chronic pain.
