Abstract
Although there are data on the psychometric properties of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) in the United States Hispanic population, there are no data about the suitability of the questionnaire in Spanish-speaking populations in Spain. Trained and independent interviewers administered a Castilian Spanish translation of the CSQ-8 to 205 subjects (86.3% women, mean age 55.6 years) with subclinical depressive symptoms who participated in brief cognitive-behavioral group therapy interventions in Spain to treat subclinical depression. The internal consistency of the scale was satisfactory (α = .80). A single factor was identified that aggregated all eight items with high loadings in this global factor, which accounted for 43.5% of total variance. Differences in satisfaction were found based on the patients’ education level (p = .038) and post-treatment depressive symptoms (p = .021). There were no differences in level of satisfaction based on sex, age, marital status, social class, pre-treatment depressive symptoms or the number of sessions attended. The results indicate that the Castilian Spanish CSQ-8 has adequate psychometric properties and maintains those of the original questionnaire; therefore, it is suitable for use in Spain for assessment of satisfaction with services received.
