AB The care that clinical instructors demonstrate to students is essential for their education,considering the strong impact it has on their future relationships with patients, relatives, andother health professionals. Nursing Students’ Perceptions of Instructor Caring (NSPIC) is aninstrument designed to assess nursing students’ perceptions of instructor’s caring behaviors.A trans-cultural, conceptual, and psychometric validation study was conducted with315 nursing students at the University of Seville during their clinical practices in threeregional hospitals. The NSPIC was translated and adapted to Spanish. The content validitywas established by a panel of experts. To assess concurrent validity the culturally adaptedSpanish version of the Clinical Placement Evaluation Tool (CPET) was used as a gold standard.The construct validity was determined by an exploratory factor analysis to identify theinternal structure of the NSPIC-S. The internal consistency was established by Cronbach’sα and the intra-observer reliability for each item was established by test-retest. The contentvalidity index varied between 0.53 and 0.93 and the correlation to the CPET was moderate.The factor analysis revealed a structure of five factors, one of which differed from the originalscale. The value of Cronbach’s α was 0.95 and intraclass correlation coefficients variedbetween 0.5 and 0.89. Our study provided a culturally adapted version of the NSPIC, validand reliable to be used in the Spanish context, the NSPIC-S.
