However, there are no tools that measure compassionate capacity during students\u2019 training. Recently, the Compassion Capacity Scale (CCS) was developed for health professionals, exhibiting good psychometric properties. The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the CCS for Portuguese healthcare students. The study was divided into two phases: (1) translation and adaptation of the CCS for Portuguese students in the healthcare field; (2) validation and analysis of psychometric properties. The CCS-PHS showed good internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 = 0.886), temporal stability (rho = 0.703), and content validity (CVI-i = 1). Criterion validity analysis showed strong correlations between all of the CCS-PHS\u2019s dimensions and the chosen reference criteria scale. Construct validity analysis revealed that the CCS-PHS is composed of 17 items, classified into four factors. The differences found in the exploratory factor analysis in relation to the original scale may be due to the life experiences of healthcare professionals when compared to those of students. Our psychometric analysis suggests that the CCS-PHS is a reliable and valid tool to assess compassionate capacity in healthcare students. Knowing the compassionate competence of students is vital for guiding educational strategies, implementing compassion training programs and evaluating their effectiveness, as well as reinforcing key attitudes and behaviors for humanized and ethical healthcare.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs15081039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,1]],"date-time":"2025-08-01T06:37:47Z","timestamp":1754030267000},"page":"1039","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Adaptation and Validation of the Compassionate Capacity Scale for Portuguese Healthcare Students (CCS-PHS)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6454-4723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Dolores","family":"Ruiz-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Almer\u00eda, 04120 Almer\u00eda, Spain"},{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Chile, Providencia 4780000, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4461-6299","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Alcaraz-C\u00f3rdoba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Almer\u00eda, 04120 Almer\u00eda, Spain"},{"name":"Torrecardenas University Hospital, Andalusian Health Service, 04009 Almer\u00eda, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8825-4923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irma","family":"Brito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Executive Committee of International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research (ICPHR), 3045 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Coimbra & UICISA:E, 3004-011 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6286-3854","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Jacinta","family":"Dantas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing School of Coimbra & UICISA:E, 3004-011 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0560-278X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tania","family":"Alcaraz-C\u00f3rdoba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Almer\u00eda, 04120 Almer\u00eda, Spain"},{"name":"Almer\u00eda Health District, Andalusian Health Service, 04009 Almer\u00eda, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5073-0499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela Mar\u00eda","family":"Ortega-Gal\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Medicine, University of Huelva, 21071 Huelva, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104420","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2020.104420","article-title":"The self-compassion scale Arabic version for baccalaureate nursing students: A validation study","volume":"89","author":"Alabdulaziz","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nurse Education Today"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2732","DOI":"10.1002\/nop2.848","article-title":"Self-compassion influences the caring behaviour and compassion competence among saudi nursing students: A multi-university study","volume":"8","author":"Alquwez","year":"2021","journal-title":"Nursing Open"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alwhaibi, M., Alotaibi, A., and Alsaadi, B.
