The overall Cronbach’s Alpha value of the 48 items was 0.83. The scree plot test use resulted in four factors (psychospiritual, sociocultural,Įnvironmental, and physical) that explained 38.01% of the total variance. In the exploratory analysis of factors by estimating the main components, 10 factors were obtained, which explained 60.14% of the measure variability. Results: the sample was considered adequate by the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (0.815 p<0.001). Participants were 260 chronic patients under kidney hemodialysis submitted to application of the General Comfort Questionnaire, and submitted to exploratory factor analysis and data reliability. The exploratory factor analysis, respecting the psychometric principles, with loss of 15 items.Ĭonclusion: GCQ is valid and reliable for measuring comfort in chronic patients under kidney hemodialysis. Thus, it was observed that 33 items remained among the validated versions between the group of experts and
