Background And ObjectivePatients' views regarding the actions and side effects of medicines can be measured with the Perceived Sensitivity to Medicines (PSM) scale. The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the PSM scale for use in the Spanish population.Materials And MethodsThe translation and cultural adaptation of the PSM scale and a pretest of the Spanish version were carried out with 50 patients receiving outpatient care in various specialties.ResultsThere were no difficulties in the stages of the translation and adaptation process. In the cognitive interview, participants found the five items easy to understand (mean score of 3.86±0.24 out of 4).ConclusionGiven its brevity, the Spanish version of the PSM scale represents an easily applicable tool for both research and clinical purposes.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier España, S.L.U.
