Description
A short survey on quality of end-of-life care is checked for use with Brazilian heart failure patients by de Figueiredo and co-authors in a 2026 study. The survey exists in a Brazilian version, but its fit for this patient group needed proof. Patients eligible for comfort-focused care filled the survey plus two standard health surveys.
Standard checks test whether survey items hang together and match the planned structure. Links with the general health survey test whether scores make sense. Heart failure brings heavy symptoms, so a trusted local tool matters for fair care audits. The study follows an international guide for testing health measures. Clinics gain a validated way to hear patients on care quality.
