SPSS 23.0 was used to determine viability/acceptability and preliminary aspects of internal consistency of the instrument.ResultsFive of the seven domains presented floor effect (71.42%), and only one presented ceiling effect (14.28%). The internal consistency of the scale and domains showed acceptable values (over 0.7). The content validity of the Spanish version seemed satisfactory with positive comments in general from participants.
