Sažetak

Aim To translate the Consultation and Relational Empathy
(CARE) Measure into Croatian and validate the Croatian
version of the questionnaire.
Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in July
2011 in 8 general practices (GP) in Croatia. Following two
stages of translation, back-translation, and pilot testing, the
Croatian version of the CARE was tested on 568 consecutive
patients.
Results Face validity was high, the number of missing
values was low (9%), and the internal consistency (Cronbach’s
alpha) was 0.77. A principal component analysis of
10 CARE Measure items extracted two components with
eigenvalues >1. These two components explained 43.6%
of the total instrument variance.
Conclusion The Croatian version of the CARE Measure
had acceptable reliability and face validity, but its intended
component structure was not reproduced and further research
is needed to understand its dimensionality.
