https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bi-2865.html Introduction The Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) is a reliable screening instrument for a variety of problems (physical, existential, and social) that affect the dignity of patients during their end of life. The PDI has been translated into several different languages and has been validated in different settings. As such, it is important to validate the instrument in patients with cancer in Mexico to assess dignity in this population. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the Spanish version of the PDI in Mexican patients with cancer. Methods This is a cross-sectional study that included patients with cancer, both those enrolled and not enrolled in palliative care, at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología in Mexico City from September 2018 to August 2019. A translation and back translation were performed to obtain the Mexican version of the PDI (PDI-Mx) instrument. Patients completed the PDI-Mx, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and functional scales (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] and Karnofsky). Psychometric properties were evaluated by determining internal consistency, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and concurrent validity with the HADS. Results We included 290 participants with cancer (145 in palliative care and 145 not enrolled in palliative care). The Cronbach's alpha of the PDI-Mx was 0.95. There was a significant correlation with the HADS (rs = 0.757, p  less then  0.0001). The factor analysis showed four factors that explain 64.7% of the model. The CFA presented adequate indicators, which show the adjustment of the structure that indicates a balanced and parsimonious model. Conclusions The Mexican version of the PDI shows adequate psychometric properties in patients with cancer. We suggest the use of PDI-Mx in clinical care and research. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board and Ethics Committee with numbers (016/063/CPI) and (
