Person-centred practices - following national and international developments in health-care policies - have become a key approach in healthcare. The Person-Centred Practice Inventory - Staff is an instrument based on the theoretical framework Person-Centred Practice that focuses on the staff's perspective and how they experience person-centred practices. Here, the aim of this study is to obtain the first Spanish version of the PCPI-S translated and adapted into the Spanish context. The translation and adaptation of the instrument followed the Translation and Cultural Adaptation of Patient Reported Outcomes Measures - Principles of Good Practice, which included a consulting session with experts. Content validation measures on clarity and relevance were assessed for every item (I-CVI) and the survey as a whole (S-CVI/Ave). No major difficulties were registered to reach an agreement on the 12 items that needed to be clarified. Regarding clarity and relevance. The validity index per item (I-CVI) obtained excellent scores for clarity in 53 items and for relevance in 59; the S-CVI/Ave showed excellent results (=90). This first version of the Person-Centred Practice Inventory - Staff instrument adapted to the Spanish context is conceptually and semantically equivalent to the original one. This valuable tool will be of great help to identify the perception of healthcare professionals on person-centred practices.

El cuidado centrado en la persona se ha convertido en un enfoque esencial a nivel global que pretende dar respuesta a todas las dimensiones que afectan a los complejos procesos de la atención sanitaria. El Person Centred Practice Framework (PCPF), desarrollado por McCormack y McCance facilita que los equipos multidisciplinares puedan entender y operativizar todas las dimensiones que participan en el desarrollo de una atención centrada en la persona. El objetivo del estudio fue obtener la primera versión española del marco PCPF traducida y adaptada a nuestro contexto español. La traducción y adaptación transcultural del PCPF se acometió utilizando la guía Translation and cultural adaptation process for Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Measures, que incluye una sesión con expertos. Además, se realizó una validación de contenido de la claridad y la relevancia de cada dominio. No se encontraron dificultades relevantes para llegar a un acuerdo en la mayoría de los términos que necesitaron ser clarificados, a excepción del término Estar presente con pleno reconocimiento del otro, que fue el más complejo de traducir y adaptar culturalmente. Respecto a la relevancia y claridad, el índice de validez de contenido por constructo (I-CVI) y del marco global (S-CVI/Ave) mostraron excelentes resultados (≥0,90). Se ha obtenido una versión adaptada al español clara, relevante y conceptualmente equivalente al marco PCPF original. La disponibilidad de este marco en español facilitará una mejor comprensión de la práctica centrada en la persona y favorecerá la implementación de este enfoque en la práctica clínica.
Background: Person-centredness, a global movement in healthcare, is consistent with international developments in healthcare policy. It is important to have instruments to measure person-centred care. The Person-Centred Practice Inventory-Staff (PCPI-S) is an internationally recognized instrument that aims to measure how healthcare staff experience person-centred practice. Aim: To perform the cultural adaptation and psychometric testing of a Spanish version of the PCPI-S (PCPI-S (Sp)). Method: A two-stage research design was implemented as follows: (1) the translation and cultural adaptation of the PCPI-S from English to Spanish using the “Translation and Cultural Adaptation of Patient Reported Outcomes Measures-Principles of Good Practice”; (2) a quantitative cross-sectional survey for the psychometric evaluation of the PCPI-S. Test–retest reliability was evaluated using the Kendall tau concordance coefficient, internal reliability was assessed through the ordinal theta (OT) coefficient, and confirmatory factor analysis was performed to examine the theoretical measurement model. Results: A Spanish version of the PCPI-S was obtained. There were no significant difficulties in the translation process or the consulting sessions. A sample of 287 healthcare professionals participated in the study at least once. All the items showed at least a fair level of test–retest reliability. The OT scores were adequate (>0.69). The model showed good to adequate levels of fit: CFI = 0.89, SRMR = 0.068; RMSEA = 0.060 with CI90% (0.056–0.063). Conclusions: The Spanish translation of the PCPI-S was psychometrically valid when tested with Spanish healthcare professionals. This instrument will help identify professionals’ perceptions of person-centred practice, track the evolution of this practice over time, and assess interventions aimed at improving person-centred practice.
Aim: Self‐assessment is critical in nursing education, enabling students to reflect on their cognitive and clinical skills while helping educators identify gaps in competencies. Combining subjective self‐assessment with the objectivity of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) supports learning adjustments. This study explores the impact of OSCEs on nursing students' self‐assessment of practical competencies. Design: A quasi‐experimental pre‐post study was conducted with a convenience sample of 229 third‐ and fourth‐year nursing students at a Spanish university. Only students who had not previously taken an OSCE were included. A 10‐station OSCE was implemented, and the Self‐Assessment Competence Scale (SACS) evaluated perceived competence levels. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, sensitivity testing, t ‐tests, and ANOVA (tertile analysis) with size effect for group differences, and regression analysis to detect the Dunning‐Kruger effect. Results: Fourth‐year students scored significantly higher on OSCEs than third‐year students. Female and male students had similar OSCE results, though fourth‐year students demonstrated higher self‐perception of competence than their third‐year peers. The mean of self‐assessment scores is similar for men and women, but disaggregating scores by competences shows significant differences. Interestingly, students with higher self‐perceived competence often achieved lower OSCE scores, revealing discrepancies attributed to the Dunning‐Kruger effect. Post‐OSCE, students adjusted their self‐perception more closely to their actual performance. Conclusion: OSCEs effectively identify and address discrepancies between self‐assessment and objective performance, fostering critical self‐awareness among nursing students. By revealing overconfidence in less skilled students, these findings highlight the importance of integrating structured OSCEs into nursing curricula. Educators can use these insights to develop targeted programs that enhance competency development, reflective learning and patient safety.

Person-centered care (PCC) positively impacts individuals by enhancing self-care, autonomy, well-being, skills, quality of life, and satisfaction with their care experience. The Person-Centered Practice Inventory-Care (PCPI-C), grounded in the Person-Centered Practice theoretical framework, is designed to assess healthcare users' perceptions of the PCC they receive. This study aims to develop the first Spanish version of the PCPI-C, translated and adapted to the Spanish context. The translation and cultural adaptation process followed the "Translation and Cultural Adaptation of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures: Principles of Good Practice" guideline, which included a session with a group of experts and healthcare users. The clarity and relevance of each item, as well as the whole instrument, were assessed using the content validity index. No difficulties were found during the process. The committee unanimously agreed to include the definition of compassion in the instrument due to its complexity and potential confusion with other terms. Regarding clarity and relevance, the content validity index revealed excellent results for all 18 items in terms of relevance and for 16 items in terms of clarity. The overall validity index for the instrument showed excellent result for both clarity and relevance (=0.95). The first Spanish-adapted version of the PCPI-C, conceptually and semantically aligned with the original, is now available and demonstrates excellent scores for both clarity and relevance.
