Description
Lucia Muñoz-Narbona and co-authors test a Spanish scale that measures whether stroke patients feel their dignity was respected in hospital. Dignity matters for quality care, but stroke's mix of speech and thinking problems makes it hard to assess, and the Spanish Inpatient Dignity Scale had never been tried in this group. Their 2026 conference study surveys 129 stroke unit patients.
Expectation and satisfaction scores ran high across all four parts of the scale: human respect, emotional and time respect, privacy, and autonomy. Satisfaction averaged about 79 of 90. The scale also proved highly consistent internally on both halves. One caution emerged: the four-part structure did not fit the data well under formal testing, so the grouping may not match how stroke patients sort these experiences. The authors recommend deeper analysis before the scale's shape is trusted here.
