The PSNCQQ was translated and culturally adapted according to international guidelines. The total sample (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009698) was randomly divided into two independent subsamples for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Models were estimated using robust weighted least squares with adjustment for hospital clustering. Competing factorial models were tested. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach\u2019s alpha and McDonald\u2019s omega, whereas convergent and construct validity were examined through average variance extracted, composite reliability, and correlations with four global satisfaction indicators.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Exploratory factor analysis supported a two\u2010factor structure distinguishing core nursing care, comprising 14 items, from continuity\u2010of\u2010care and discharge\u2010related processes, comprising five items. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the correlated two\u2010factor model provided a better fit than the strictly unidimensional model, whereas the bifactor model was not retained. Internal consistency was excellent for core nursing care (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c9<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.964), continuity of care (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c9<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.894), and the total scale (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.95;\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c9<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.95).
