This descriptive multicenter study examines the difficulties faced by healthcare workers in maintaining inpatient dignity in clinical practice. The absence of applicable quantitative tools in Spanish scientific literature that can be used to measure the dignity of hospitalized patients has led this project’s authors to translate the Inpatient Dignity Scale (IPDS) into Spanish and carry out an evaluation of the resulting version.

The objectives of the project involve the validation of the Spanish version of this questionnaire, a translation and cultural adaptation of this tool, and an analysis of its reliability in terms of internal consistency and stability over time. The authors then evaluate whether this tool is as reliable as the original.
